Guillaume Chatagny

Born in 1991, Guillaume Chatagny is a teaching fellow in the didactics of religious cultures at the University of Teacher Education in Fribourg. After studying religious studies, sociology, and literature at the University of Fribourg (UNIFR), he worked as a graduate assistant at the Swiss Center for Islam and Society (CSIS) from 2017 to 2023. Holding an advanced studies diploma in higher education didactics, he is currently pursuing a doctoral thesis in sociology dedicated to the description of a Muslim associative space in Switzerland. His research interests focus on the teaching of religious cultures in schools, religious materialities, and the contributions of microsociology and visual sociology to the study of religions. Through his work, Guillaume Chatagny seeks to better understand the diversity of the contemporary Swiss religious landscape and to develop adapted pedagogical approaches to address issues related to religions within the school context.
