Michel Alhadeff-Jones is Adjunct Assistant Professor of Adult Learning and Leadership,
Teachers College, Columbia University, Laboratoire EXPERICE, Université de Paris
8, Paris, France. He holds a Masters in Organizational Psychology (University of Geneva)
and a PhD in Educational sciences (University of Paris 8). After having worked as a Teaching
and Research Assistant in the Department of Adult Education, University of Geneva,
he pursued his research in New York at Teachers College, Columbia University. He currently
teaches there as an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Organization and Leadership.
In 2007 he obtained a PhD in Educational Sciences for studies done under the
mentorship of Professor Pierre Dominicé in Geneva and Professor Jean-Louis Le Grand
in Paris. Based on a constructivist epistemology, inspired both by the use of biographical
approach and philosophical inquiry, his main topic of research focuses on the ideas
of “critique” and “complexity” in education. His scientific project is based on four axes:
developing a multireferential theory of critique as a complex phenomenon; using it to
reconsider educational practices; promoting the theme of “critique” as the ground of a
broader transdisciplinary approach of sciences and arts; exploring the formal and informal
learning involved by scientists in order to adopt a critical and complex position in
their respective fields of study. |
