Stéphanie Demers

Stéphanie Demers holds a PhD in Educational Foundations from the Université du Québec à Montréal. A professor-researcher in the Department of Education at the Université du Québec en Outaouais (UQO) from 2011 to 2021, she has taught the History and Theories of Education and Foundations and Theories of Learning courses at the Bachelor of Education and Master of Education levels.

Her research, rooted in social theory and critical pedagogy, focuses on agentivity in teaching cultures and practices at all levels, particularly with regard to the development of agentivity in the face of knowledge of teachers and students, the construction of relationships to knowledge in a university context, and the consideration of socio-school injustices.

She is currently co-piloting a research project on the effects of a pedagogical community of practice in a university context.
