Karine Collette is a linguist, discourse analyst and associate professor at the University of Sherbrooke. She is an associate member of the Politique et pratiques sociales axis at CRISES (Centre de recherche sur les innovations sociales, Montréal). She is interested in multiple literacies, interpretive variations and non-standard discourses, and is particularly concerned today with shaping the concept of discourses of the future, which emerge or re-emerge from the struggle against discursive hegemonies and in the course of socio-discursive transformations.
