I am a postdoctoral researcher of the European Union H2020 Project DETECt (Detecting Transcultural Identity in European Popular Crime Narratives) and a Lecturer at the Institut d’études politiques de Paris, and the École supérieure d'art du Nord-Pas-de-Calais.

 

I received my Ph.D. in Comparative Literature from the University of California Santa Barbara. I study a variety of topics in contemporary American and French minority literatures with an emphasis on U.S. Latinx and Franco-Maghrebi cultures. My research centers on three lines of inquiry: 1-the relation of minority literatures with literary theory and genres (Bildungsroman, crime fiction, historical novel), 2-the representation of place and space in contemporary literature about immigrants' descendants, 3-and the application of the concept of Postmigration to the study of literature and visual culture.
