Pascal Gielen (b. 1970) is a writer and a full professor of Sociology of Culture and Politics at the Antwerp Research Institute for the Arts (ARIA) at the University of Antwerp, where he also leads the Culture Commons Quest Office (CCQO). As editor-in-chief of the international book series Antennae – Arts in Society (Valiz), he curates critical reflections on how culture shapes - and is shaped by - society. Gielen is awarded the prestigious Odysseus Grant by the Research Foundation Flanders (FWO) for his outstanding international research achievements. Through his writings, he traces the intersections of creative labour, the commons, and cultural politics, often venturing into the field to study how culture takes root and resists in conflict zones such as the Amazon and Ukraine. Gielen contributes regular to the Belgian newspapers De Morgen and De Standaard.
