Édith Prégent is a doctoral student in Art History at the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM), supervised by Luc Noppen and Lucie K. Morisset. She holds a degree in Civil Law from the University of Ottawa and serves as a Researcher at the Urban Heritage Research Chair (School of Management, UQAM) and Project Manager at the Musée régional de Vaudreuil-Soulanges. Her research focuses on the patrimonialization of religious sites, particularly the preservation of religious objects in situ, emphasizing holistic value and the concept of the 'total work.'
Since 2011, she has been actively involved in heritage projects, including the regional inventory of Vaudreuil-Soulanges’ cultural and built heritage ('Notre patrimoine au cœur de notre identité'), coordination of the Urban Summer School (2013–2015), and the 'Churches Plan' for the Vallée Haut-Saint-Laurent (2015–2017), which involved 86 churches. She is also a student member of the Centre interuniversitaire d’études sur les lettres, les arts et les traditions (CÉLAT).
Her achievements include the Joseph-Armand Bombardier CGS Doctoral Scholarship and collaborations with institutions like the Canada Research Chair on Urban Heritage and regional MRCs (Municipalités régionales de comté). Her work bridges academic research with community-driven heritage preservation initiatives.
