  Dr. Verushka Lieutenant-Duval holds a Ph.D. in Humanities - Fine Arts from Concordia University's Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies in Society and Culture and a Master degree in Art History from the University of Montreal. Dr. Lieutenant-Duval is Part-time Professor of Art History at Université du Québec à Montreal. Since September 2018, she has undertaken a second Ph.D. in Communication at the University of Ottawa (Canada) under the direction of Dr. Florian Grandena. Her current research interests lie at the intersection of media studies, popular culture, communication and health. Her dissertation project entitled Neither Deformed Nor Erotic Object: For a critical analysis of dominant discourses on tuberous breasts concerns the representation by the media of a marginalized group that has not been the subject of in-depth studies: women living with tuberous breasts. Dr. Lieutenant-Duval questions the role of traditional and emerging media in the construction of social representations of women living with tuberous breasts and in the resistance to that same construction.
