Teaching Competencies

My experience at Bard College and at Brown University has prepared me to teach a wide range of language and literature courses. As my research covers wide historical and geographical grounds, I can propose a variety of classes that would deal predominantly with my areas of expertise, including survey courses. In addition, I am able to teach courses that deal with French culture more broadly, across a  wide range of materials and disciplines, in French and English.
