Stijn Van Petegem
Chercheur qualifié FNRS
Stijn obtained a PhD at Ghent University (Belgium), then spent five years of postdoc at Université de Lausanne (Switzerland), studying the psychological dynamics involved in adolescent autonomy and parental control, and more generally the question how parents may foster children’s flourishing and resilience. Today, he works as an FNRS Research Associate at ULB, where he particularly attempts to look into the broader picture of parenting, seeking to understand whether and how the societal, cultural, political and historical context shapes the way parents raise their children, by drawing upon a diversity of fields, including developmental and social psychology, sociology and gender studies.
