我的教学 中心的学生, and aims to create spaces for students to explore francophone literature, 电影, 和文化. My courses are designed as spaces for students to explore the stakes of literature in identity, 民族主义, 从中世纪到现在的历史. I have created classes ranging from “Joan of Arc: From Heretic to Trans Saint” to 马格里布文学与文化中的性与权力.”
“Joan of Arc” looked at how Joan of Arc can act a site for exploring the intersections of 历史, 叙述, 小说, 同人小说, 宣传, 还有她的诗学遗产. The goal of this course was to think about who makes 历史, and how, and in what contexts. From Joan’s contemporaries—the anonymous Bourgeois de Paris and the first French woman writer to make a living off of her writing, Christine de Pizan—to French historian Jules Michelet and mendicant nun Thérèse de Lisieux, 然后是20世纪的电影, 小说, 和戏剧, 琼在身份的形成中扮演了什么角色, 历史, 性别规范, 流行文化? How has Joan become a symbol for trans activists as well as xenophobic politicians? Can we ever fully understand who she was and why we continue to be enamored with and fascinated by her?
马格里布文学与文化中的性与权力,另一个高层调查, 关注摩洛哥, 阿尔及利亚, 散居小说, 重点是性和权力, 后殖民影响和创伤, 抵制规范, 并在20世纪和21世纪的小说中出现. I aim for my classes to give students a safe space to re-imagine how authors writing in French reimagine and rebuild the world they inhabit, 在文学和电影作品中，规范是如何创造和抵制的, 以及我们如何, 作为读者, 相互作用, 回复, 理解这些文本.
我的研究重点 is on the Francophone literary world at the turn of the 13th century, 当时法语被用作文学语言, 商品, and colonial language from England to the Crusader kingdoms in the Levant. My current project insists upon romance being a political genre in late-twelfth and early-to-mid-thirteenth-century romances. 这源自酷儿理论和生命政治, 或者政治和政府控制的方式, 部署, racialize, and understand 的身体 to analyze the very root of sovereignty and the 小说s of the sovereign’s relation to governance in medieval literature 和文化. I argue that medieval literature helps us understand that longer 历史 of sovereignty’s relation to populations, 的身体, 以及关于民族和国家地位的虚构, dismantling our current notions of biopolitical trajectories and francophone literary 历史. 追寻圣杯的轨迹, 因为它随着每一个新版本的圣杯任务而更新, 这样我们就能追踪到, 适应, and continuations are acts of reading as much as they are acts of writing and composition. This project upsets trajectories of Grail romance as it has been understood, and rewrites the 历史 of romance as a politically-engaged genre. This intervention aims to reposition romance as a genre that re-imagines political pasts and proposes alternate futures.
