Biography
Originally from Belgium, I completed a PhD on French post-Holocaust literature at the University of Leuven and held post-doctoral fellowships at the University of Leuven and Lessius University College. I joined the University of Aberdeen as Senior Lecturer in French and Francophone Studies in August 2022. I previously held a post as Associate Professor of French at the University of Leicester. As part of a research project on self-translation I also undertook a three-month research stay at Harvard University in 2010 supported by a Fulbright Visiting Fellowship.
My research combines literary studies with a range of interdisciplinary perspectives. I have in particular worked on survivor narratives and the representation of the Holocaust in contemporary Francophone fiction and bande dessinée. My research also focuses on issues of migration, bilingualism and translation. As part of my work, I have undertaken various research collaborations in the field of drama and the visual arts, particularly graphic novels, post-Holocaust art and political cartooning.
I am the author of Témoignage et littérature d’après Auschwitz (2020) and have co-edited several volumes and thematic issues, including: Un ciel de sang et de cendres. Piotr Rawicz et la solitude du témoin (2013); Ego-histories of France and the Second World War: Writing Vichy (2018, co-edited with Manuel Bragança); Tradition and Innovation in Franco-Belgian bande dessinée (2021); Migration, Memory and the Visual Arts: Second-Generation (Jewish) Artists (forthcoming 2023).
I am the PI of ‘Covid in Cartoons’ (AHRC, 2021-2022 350k), an interdisciplinary research project conduced with Dr Di Levine (University of Leicester), Shout Out UK and Cartooning for Peace. I’m also currently leading a BA/Leverhulme research project with Manu Braganca on The Future of WWII France in Academia.
External Memberships
I am currently Vice-Chair External Engagement and Communications for the University Council of Modern Languages. I'm a member of the Editorial Board of Modern and Contemporary France and of the AHRC Peer Review College. I have been part of the Executive Committee of the AUPHF+ as membership secretary from 2018 until 2021.
