Professional Information
My research examines intermediality in modern and contemporary French and Francophone cultural texts. My dissertation entitled "Visual Voices from the Banlieues: Twenty-First Century Photographic Reimag(in)ings of French Marginality" focused the interdigitation of the aesthetic and the social in photographic narratives of the France's disadvantaged banlieues, outlying urban areas comprising low-income housing and high-density immigrant populations. More generally, my research interests include questions of immigration, ethnicity, and national identity in modern and contemporary France; 19th- and 20th-century French literature; Maghrebi and Sub-Sarahan Francophone literature; and the intersections of literature, media studies, urban studies, and visual culture. Please visit my "Research" page for further information about my current project and recent presentations and publications.
I have taught a wide array of courses, including a 400-level course on the history of the press in France; intermediate bridge courses in composition, conversation, and reading comprehension; courses in the Basic Language Program; general education courses on France and the Francophone world; and an online course on the history of Paris. Under "Teaching" in the menu, you will find not only my "ePortfolio" (including my teaching philosophy and a sampling of assessments, course syllabi, and other related documents) but also my "TWT Portfolio," a requirement for the The Pennsylvania State University's Teaching with Technology certification program.
My "About Me" page provides information about my personal interests as well as my educational background.
