Professor Marc Redepenning is a distinguished scholar in Cultural Geography at the University of Bamberg's Faculty of Humanities and Cultural Sciences. His academic career spans several decades, with significant contributions to understanding rural spaces, spatial semantics, and urban-rural relationships. As a full professor, he leads research initiatives that bridge theoretical geography with practical applications for community development. Professor Redepenning's research interests center on geographies of rural spaces and sustainable rural futures, local cultures and identities in both urban and rural contexts, and the relationship between city and country as societal self-descriptions. He examines spatial justice, wellbeing geographies, and applies systems-theoretical thinking to geographical questions.

Louise Dehondt serves as a Lecturer in Comparative Literature at the University of Caen Normandy since September 2023, with research centered on representations of chance and contingency in Renaissance/Baroque literature alongside specialized studies of female old age in Romance literary traditions. Her academic profile bridges literary analysis with philosophical inquiry into contingency concepts across historical periods. Her educational foundation includes training at École Normale Supérieure de Paris (ENS-Ulm), agrégée in modern literature, and doctoral completion in 2022 under Anne Duprat at University of Caen. She earned the SFLGC thesis prize for her dissertation on female aging representations in Renaissance/Baroque Romance literature, establishing her scholarly trajectory. Dehondt's research program investigates how literary structures embody concepts of chance, fortune, and destiny, particularly in 16th-17th century European texts. Her work examines poetic forms like Ronsard's love collections through dual lenses of contingency theory and gender studies, revealing intersections between literary technique and philosophical frameworks of the period. The representation of aging emerges as a critical dimension in her analysis of female subjectivity within historical contexts. Analysis of her publications reveals consistent methodological rigor combining close reading with historical contextualization. The 2023 article on Ronsard demonstrates how chance operates structurally within poetic sequences, while her forthcoming contributions to 'Figures of chance' extend this approach to broader representations of contingency across centuries. Her scientific recognition is anchored by the 2022 SFLGC thesis prize, validating the originality of her work on female aging in early modern literature. This early-career achievement highlights her capacity for innovative interdisciplinary research at the intersection of literary studies and gender history. Research funding experience includes significant contributions to the ANR ALEA project (2021-2023) as research engineer, where she managed editorial preparation of 'Figures du Hasard' volumes, coordinated international translator networks, and organized scientific events including the 'Chance and recognition' study day. As a new faculty member, she is developing independent research directions within the ALEA network framework. Dehondt maintains active membership in the ALEA research network, which unites scholars across literature, historiography, and aesthetics to investigate chance representations from the 16th-21st centuries. The network provides a dynamic platform for collaborative research through seminars, conferences, and publication initiatives that shape contemporary scholarship on contingency in artistic production.
