Bienvenue! Welcome to French at Montclair State!

Interested in discussing our graduate programs in French, studying abroad, or just want to chat in French? If so, please click on the email link above to send me a message. The MSU French community cultivates creative opportunities for speaking French, from “salons de conversation,” films, and immersion day experiences in NJ and New York City to making crêpes, beignets, and bûches de Noël while listening to French-language music in the residence halls. You can follow these on our web site (https://www.montclair.edu/modern-languages-and-literatures/news-and-events/) or via Twitter and Instagram: @msufrench. We also have wonderful partnerships and study abroad opportunities in France and Quebec.

I teach a variety of undergraduate and graduate courses related to French language, literature, and culture, with particular emphasis on the medieval period and the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. I also teach in the Honors and Gender, Sexuality, and Women's Studies Programs and participate on the Board of the PSEG Institute for Sustainability Studies. A member of the 19th-century French executive committee for the Modern Language Association, I also fill the position of webmaster of the Interdisciplinary Nineteenth-Century Studies Association. I will be serving as chercheuse invitée" at the INHA in Paris in summer 2021, contributing to a project entitled "Collectionneurs, collecteurs et marchands d'art asiatique en France 1700-1939."
