About me

Full Professor of Information Studies, School of Journalism & Communication, Aix-Marseille University, France
Editor in Chief of the journal Education for Information

Short bio

You wouldn't believe it but I started off as a Literatures major. I love reading novels. Amongst my favorite classics are predictably Chinua Achebe, Wole Soyinka, Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Shakespeare, D.H Lawrence, Tolstoi, Zola, Balzac, Stendhal... Plus other unmentionable authors ;-).

After my Masters' degree studying Stendhal's 'La Chartreuse de Parme', I decided a career change was overdue. So I switched over to Information and Communication Studies in which I obtained an M.Phil (french DEA) in Library & Information science and Automatic documentation, and subsequently a Ph.D.

After several years as Associate Professor of Information & Communication Sciences, I went on to defend my Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches, the highest university degree and in the french higher education system, it enables you to officially direct doctoral students and become a Full Professor.
​
I am fully fluent in English & French. I'm learning to play the cello and
classical music theory.  Hope to stun you one of these days with my performances ;-)
I hope to learn Italian when I'm retired ;-)
