Biography

Since September 2024, Gilles is a SSRHC postdoctoral fellow at the Canada research chair on epistemic injustice and agency, at the Centre de recherche interdisciplinaire sur la diversité et la démocratie CRIDAQ and at the Centre de recherche en éthique (CRÉ) under the supervision of Amandine Catala. His project “Religious Literacy as Epistemic Justice in Secular Society” explores how individuals and social and political institutions can properly recognize the epistemic agency of religious actors–i.e. their capacity to produce, use and transfer knowledge.

Gilles holds a Ph.D. in philosophy from McGill University (sup. Natalie Stoljar and Daniel Weinstock). His thesis is entitled: “Post-Christendom Ignorance and Epistemic Injustice in Secular Society”. He also holds a master’s in philosophy from the Université de Sherbrooke (Sup. François Claveau) on the epistemic arguments for religious toleration.
