I am an Assistant Professor at Bryn Mawr College, where I am affiliated with the departments of French and Francophone Studies, Comparative Literature and MECANA (Middle Eastern, Central Asian and North African Studies). I also serve as the Director of Graduate Studies in French.

​

In 2026-2027, I will be a FIAS Fellow at the Collegium de Lyon.

My research explores women's cultural production through a variety of written and visual texts, including published and archival material. While focusing mainly on literary fiction, I argue that reading across this broader (and often disregarded) corpus shines a new light on the history of our cultural imaginary.

​

Trained as a comparatist, I espouse a transcultural approach to literature, reading across national divides and across languages. I study both the circulation of ideas within a corpus and of a corpus within history, through travel, dissemination and translation.

​

Before coming to the United States, I have lived in France, Belgium, Switzerland, Spain and India. I travel regularly to visit archives and the physical spaces about which I write and consider it an essential part of my research practice.
