I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Philosophy at the Université de Montréal (Montreal, QC, Canada). My areas of specialization are general epistemology, social epistemology, philosophy of medicine, and the philosophy of language.

I hold a doctoral dissertation on the American philosopher Wilfrid Sellars (1912-1989) and remain interested in the history of analytic philosophy.

My recent research in general epistemology focuses on two main areas: the problem of skepticism and hinge-epistemology approaches; and the phenomenon of irrational beliefs (particularly willful blindness).

In social epistemology, I am particularly interested in the normative foundations of categories such as "experiential knowledge" and "lay expertise." In addition to an individual project on the figure of the "expert patient," I am involved in two interdisciplinary research groups. The first, in social sciences, focuses on the experiential knowledge of people living in situations of social exclusion and poverty (in Quebec and Belgium). The second, in clinical research, is conducted at the Montreal Clinical Research Institute and focuses on patient involvement in research and improving care for people living with type 1 diabetes. I am also a member of the Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology Commission on Type 1 Diabetes.

In philosophy of medicine, my research focuses on the normativity of diagnosis, with a specific case study of (pre-clinical) diagnostic screening for type 1 diabetes.

My current research deals mainly with the nature, scope and modalities of intellectual cognition, as the question was posed historically in medieval university debates (13^th and 14^th centuries). I am also interested in problems of ontology and metaphysics, especially in the topic of universals, as well as epistemological issues involved in the question of the relationship between the philosophical and religious discourses. My publications almost always comprise three dimensions: the critical edition of Latin texts from the High and Late Middle Ages, the translation of these documents into French, and their interpretation and analysis from the viewpoint of a critical history of medieval thought.
