Hello. I’m a scholar of contemporary French and Francophone literature. My work brings together literary studies, visual culture, and postcolonial cultural analysis, with a particular focus on migration, minority representation, and questions of memory, belonging, and social plurality in France and the francophone world.

 

I hold a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and I have taught French, literature, and creative writing at New York University Abu Dhabi, Sciences Po, and UC Santa Barbara. My research has appeared in journals including Journal of Romance Studies, Crossings: Journal of Migration and Culture, and Cinema & Cie.  My first monograph, Maghrebis in French Fiction: Postmigration and the Politics of Character (transcript Verlag), is forthcoming (2026).
