Ingrid de Saint-Georges is an Associate-Professor at the Faculty for Language and Literature, Humanities, Arts and Education at the University of Luxembourg. She joined the Faculty in January 2010. She holds a Ph.D. in Sociolinguistics from Georgetown University. Her interest is in the study of the complex ways in which discourses play out in situated social actions, focusing on how discourses are produced, how they are used, how they are mediated, as well as on the consequences actions and discourses have in the social arena. She investigates those issues in the field of education, paying attention to sociocultural processes of learning and collaborating in various contexts (the workplace, the classroom, the workshop, out-of-school training programs). Before joining the LCMI research unit, she held a researcher and lecturer position at the University of Geneva. She collaborated on a 5-years research project, funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation, focusing on the role of interactions and other forms of mediations in vocational education and training ( http://www.unige.ch/fapse/laf ). Prior to her appointment in Geneva, she received a one-year scientific mandate from the Francqui Foundation for postdoctoral research. She worked with the ReCCom (Research Center for Conflict and Crisis Management) at the Faculty of Economics, Social Sciences and Management (Facultés Universitaires Notre-Dame de la Paix, Namur, Belgium). Her current work is in the field of language and work, (multimodal) communication and learning, and discourse analysis in educational contexts.
