Catherine Breillat is a Professor of Film at The European Graduate School (EGS). A Paris-based filmmaker and writer, she is renowned for provocative works exploring sexuality, gender, and censorship. Her career spans over five decades, marked by controversial films like Romance (1999) and À ma soeur! (2001), which challenge societal norms and interrogate female subjectivity. Breillat's films often blend surreal imagery with raw realism, resisting conventional narrative structures. She has also authored novels, screenplays, and essays, including Pornocracy (2008), which critiques patriarchal control over sexual representation. Her academic role at EGS reflects her dual identity as artist and theorist. Breillat's work is deeply influenced by Italian neorealism, prioritizing long takes and unfiltered documentation of human experience. Key themes include female desire, censorship, and the body as a site of political struggle. Despite frequent clashes with censors, her films have earned critical acclaim internationally, with The Last Mistress (2007) receiving widespread praise. Breillat's career began in acting (e.g., Last Tango in Paris , 1972), transitioning to directing in 1975. Her early film Une vraie jeune fille (1976) was banned until 2000. She collaborates with actors like Asia Argento and Rocco Siffredi, using unconventional casting to amplify narrative complexity. Her interviews and lectures (e.g., on Bluebeard ) reveal a commitment to expanding cinematic language and confronting taboos. Notable influences include the Marquis de Sade and Nagisa Oshima, while her aesthetic innovations challenge mainstream erotic conventions. Breillat's work continues to provoke dialogue about art's role in confronting societal repression, solidifying her legacy as a feminist iconoclast.

Preston P. Thakral is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at Smith College, where he teaches courses in memory, cognitive neuroscience, and research methods. He serves as the Principal Investigator of the Neuroscience of Memory and Flexible Cognition Laboratory, conducting cutting-edge research on the neural mechanisms underlying episodic memory and its relationship to other cognitive processes. Dr. Thakral earned his Ph.D. in psychology and neuroscience from Boston College, where he also completed his M.A. and B.A. His academic journey included postdoctoral fellowships at Harvard University (working with Dr. Daniel Schacter) and the University of Texas at Dallas (working with Dr. Michael Rugg), followed by a position as Director of the Human Neuroscience Laboratory at Boston College before joining Smith College. His research program takes an adaptive perspective on episodic memory, investigating how the constructive nature of memory that makes it prone to error also serves beneficial roles in flexible cognition. His work demonstrates that memory processes involved in remembering past events are also engaged in helpful ways during imagination, creative thinking, and problem solving. This perspective challenges traditional views of memory errors as purely maladaptive, instead framing them as byproducts of a flexible system that supports broader cognitive functions. Dr. Thakral's publications reveal a consistent research trajectory examining the links between memory distortion and creative cognition, with recent work focusing on neural mechanisms using fMRI meta-analyses and examining how memory processes contribute to everyday problem solving. His research employs a multi-method approach including functional neuroimaging, transcranial magnetic stimulation, and event-related potentials to build comprehensive models of memory function. As a mentor and educator, Dr. Thakral guides undergraduate research in his laboratory while teaching foundational courses in psychology. His research has been supported by National Institutes of Health funding, including grants from the National Institute of Mental Health and National Institute on Aging. The Neuroscience of Memory and Flexible Cognition Laboratory employs three primary cognitive neuroscience techniques: fMRI for spatial resolution, ERPs for temporal resolution, and TMS for causal manipulation. This multi-method approach allows the lab to create comprehensive models of episodic memory function that account for insights from both correlational and manipulative methods, providing convergent evidence for theories of memory function.

Dr Devin G. Ray is a Lecturer in the School of Psychology at the University of Aberdeen, located in the William Guild building, office S05. His research centres on person perception and person memory, with particular attention to face recognition, impression formation, prejudice, and group processes. More recently, his work has explored the social consequences of remembering and forgetting during interpersonal interaction. Research Interests Person perception and memory Face recognition and categorization Impression formation and prejudice Group processes and intergroup relations Social consequences of memory and forgetting Across over 20 peer-reviewed publications spanning 2007–2025, Dr Ray has investigated how memory functions not only as a cognitive process but also as a social signal. His studies reveal that forgetting can communicate interpersonal importance, that uncertainty about category membership impairs face recognition, and that social comparisons in learning contexts can both hinder and enhance knowledge exchange. Scientific Awards None explicitly mentioned in the provided text. Advising & Grants No specific doctoral or master’s students, research grants, or funded projects are listed in the supplied material.
