Sylvain Moutier
Dean of the Faculty of humanities and social sciences
Dean
Sylvain Moutier is Professor of Developmental Psychology at Université Paris Descartes. He is currently Director of the Doctoral School 261 “Cognition, Behaviour and Human Behaviour” and an elected member of the Board of Directors at Université Paris Descartes as well as of CNU (16th section). He is also a member of the Laboratory of Psychopathology and Health Processes (LPPS) at the Institute of Psychology. His research focuses on the cognitive development of decision making and logical thinking in healthy children, adolescents and adults or those with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
“The creation of our faculty is an historic and exciting moment that is worth mobilizing everyone, taking the time to create a new, more humanized “living together”. I am well aware of my responsibility as Dean and I hope that my term of office will be part of a project that aims to meet, in strict compliance with our public service missions, the expectations and challenges in terms of training and research, international openness, but also in terms of governance, social dialogue and functional organization. I would like to organise a general meeting in the autumn, which will be an opportunity to get to know each other and to work on specific themes such as the first year at university, the transition to a skills-based approach, gateways, digital humanities, and the basic elements of our future internal regulations. The university is no longer just about academic education, it is a place that allows students to flourish and prepares them to be full players in our society. »
