Biography
I was recently awarded a PhD in French Studies from the University of Kent. In my thesis, I reflected on the notion of excess in relation to the representation of the body in the texts and films of Marie Darrieussecq, Virginie Despentes, Laurence Nobécourt and Marina de Van. I also obtained a Master's degree in French and Comparative Literature from Kent, as well as two Licences (BA) in French Literature and English from the University Paris 3 Sorbonne Nouvelle.
Before joining the French section at UL in September 2018, I taught a number of modules in French language and culture at the University of Kent and at the University of London in Paris.
Research Interests
I am particularly interested in contemporary French literature and cinema; comparative literature; gender studies and queer and feminist theory; philosophy of embodiment; translation studies; écriture inclusive; intermediality; ecocriticism and ecopoetics; literature and science; representations of climate change.
