Katell Laveant (PhD)   is post-doctoral researcher at the Institute for Culture and History of the University of Amsterdam.

Her research focuses on late medieval and early modern drama and theatrical culture from an interdisciplinary perspective, studying both historical and literary sources. Her PhD thesis dealt with the theatrical culture in the French-speaking Low Countries in the 15th and 16th century (University of Amsterdam, 2007). Her current research studies the links between drama and the law in the Southern Low Countries, with a focus on the Reformation period. 
She is also contributing to a vast edition project of theatre plays from this period (sotties and moralités) for the French publisher Classiques Garnier (first volumes to be published in 2012), as well as one of the members of the project 'Transcultural Critical Editing: Vernacular Poetry in thé Burgundian Netherlands, 1450-1530', under the supervision of Prof. Adrian Armstrong (Queen Mary University, London), that will lead to the publication of a poetry anthology in three languages.
