I hold a double master’s in Political Science from the Universities of Montreal and Stockholm and I am about to complete a multidisciplinary Ph.D dissertation at Louisiana State University on the “Acceptance of Otherness in the emerging literatures of New Caledonia and French Polynesia.”

My research interests lie at the intersection of Political Science, Post-colonial Studies, History, and Literature and encompass issues of gender as well as political and cultural identity. I teach literature of Franconesia. Last year I have taught as a Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, this year I will be teaching at the University of Western Washington. My courses emphasize the political dimensions of literature in French Polynesia and New Caledonia. They also examine the transformation of relations between France and her former colonies of the Pacific as reflected in literature in the last 25 years. The works of Déwé Gorodé, Nicolas Kurtovitch, Pierre Gope, Bernard Berger, Ari Irau, Chantal Spitz, Célestine Hitiura Vaite, Jimmy Ly and Marie-Claire Teissier-Landgraf form the basis my empirical material.
