Teaching

I contribute to or convene a variety of modules:

At Part 1, I contribute to FR1IFC, Introduction to French Culture, and ML1COMP, What is Comparative Literature, as well as to language teaching;

At Part 2, I convene FR2FN, Introduction to the French Novel, and ML2STA, Society, Thought and Art, and contribute to ML2GF, The Global Fantastic, and the translation component of FR2L4;

At Part 3, I convene FR3LMB, French Language for Management and Business, and ML3NCEF, Nineteenth Century European Fiction, and have contributed to the translation (French →English) component of FR3L6.

Both my undergraduate degree and my Ph.D were in the area of comparative literature (French, English) and I continue to have strong teaching interests in these areas, specifically in C19th and C20th prose fiction. I also have interests in translation, particularly French to English, both general and business translation, and in Business French.
