Mathias Decuypere is Assistant Professor in the Methodology of Educational Sciences Research Group (KU Leuven, Belgium), where he leads the qualitative research methods track. His main interests are situated in the digitization, datafication and platformization of education, and how these evolutions shape distinct forms of educational spaces and times.

Pieter Vanden Broeck is Marie Skodowska-Curie Global Fellow at Columbia University and the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia. Previously, he was Postdoctoral Researcher and Lecturer at UCLouvain. Taking a sociological perspective, his research compares the various emergent shapes of global education against the national 'grammar of schooling'.
