Biography

Josianne Barrette-Moran is a doctoral candidate in bioethics at the School of Public Health of the University of Montreal, under the supervision of Bryn Williams-Jones.

After publishing a thesis on consolation in the context of bereavement, she coordinated two subsidized research projects at the Institute of Religious Studies of the University of Montreal.

With her recent involvement in the interuniversity research-creation project The Sociability of Sleep, her dissertation will focus on the rights of sleeping or unconscious individuals as well as on the ethics of dream work. She presented an outline of her project at the 6th regional conference of the International Association for the Study of Dreams.
