About
I am a PhD student at the University of Michigan. I received my B.A. in French and Francophone Studies, History, and International Studies as well as my M.A. in French and Francophone Studies at the University of Florida. My work focuses primarily on 20th century French literature and history, specifically addressing the role that literary resistance plays in recording and reactivating reprisals and documenting the propaganda deployed by the Vichy government and the Nazis in France. I also study how reality effects function to bolster historical documentation and the appeal for resistance in these texts. More broadly, my research interests include the Second World War, literary resistance, reprisals, French Resistance, Jews, and propaganda. My master’s thesis proposes a study on the work of Jean Bruller (aka Vercors), Elsa Triolet (Laurent Daniel), and Jean Guéhenno and how the authors address reprisals and their associated mediatization during the Second World War.
