In search of a true vita canonica. Normative texts and their manuscripts as alternative witnesses for the emergence of the canonical reform movement (9th-11th century) KU Leuven
Traditionally the history of the religious orders is narrated along the lines of a pattern of rise, decline, and reform. The historiography of the canonical order is no exception. Decades of steady decline are said to have been followed around the middle of the 11th century by a period of reform, culminating in the emergence of a new type of religious – the ‘regular’ canon –, as opposed to the non-reformed ‘secular’ canon. This project ...

Augustinian Pedagogy and its Relevance for the Augustinian Mission in Francophone Africa: Areas and Challenges of Inculturation for the 21st Century KU Leuven
This research project is intended as a quest for an African contextual theology of education inspired by Augustine, such that will portray contemporary relevance of Augustinian pedagogy. This notion of Augustinian pedagogy has at least two meanings: firstly it refers to a set of Augustinian thoughts on education, and secondly to a set of educational principles, essentially systematized in Augustinian circles based on the life, works, and ...

Structure and magnetism of metastable y-Fe nanoparticles in SrTiO3 KU Leuven
Iron (Fe), one of the most abundant elements on Earth, can appear in different structural phases associated with contrasting magnetic properties, depending on temperature and pressure. The most common phase is a-Fe, which has a body-centered cubic (bcc) structure and is ferromagnetic. Another iron allotrope, y-Fe, a high temperature phase in bulk, has a face-centered cubic structure (fcc). However, this iron allotrope has been stabilized at ...
The principle of proportionality and its criticism. An analysis of the case law. KU Leuven
The proposed research aims to assess the criticism advanced against the principle of proportionality, and to determine how this criticism can be relevant in refining that principle. This will be done through an in-depth analysis of the case law of the two courts at the heart of legal Europe: the Court of Justice of the European Union (“CJEU”) and the European Court of Human Rights (“ECtHR”).
Today, the principle of proportionality is ...
