About
Sixteenth-Century Religious Studies and the Postcolonial Caribbean
Welcome!
A native of northern Canada, I am a third-year Ph.D. student in French and Francophone studies. My academic aim is to add to the body of work on transhistoricized resonances in literature, in writing about both Reformational France and the postcolonial Francophone Caribbean, advocating models of study that create transcultural spaces of broader debate. My particular interests center on the literary intersection of religious teachings, dissent, alterity, and social power dynamics with a focus on morality and supremacist thought.
One particular focus is on intertextuality between French Caribbean writers and the French Renaissance conceptualization of the book as exemplary moral education, and the implications that these relationships have in the context of 21st century efforts to decolonize canonized hierarchies of knowledge.
