She has previously taught at the Université du Québec à Montréal and the Universität des Saarlandes in Germany. Louise-Hélène is a specialist in 20th- and 21st-century Québec literature and culture. Her extensive research on perceptions of Germany in Québec Literature has led to the publication of her first monograph in 2021 by Éditions Nota bene in Montréal: Les usages littéraires de Thomas Bernhard et de Peter Handke au Québec: Les modalités d’une affiliation interculturelle. Her recent research and publications have examined contemporary migrant and transnational literature, with specific interests in multilingualism studies, ethnic and national stereotypes, as well as fictions of history and afrofuturism.
