About

My research focuses on the experiences of immigration and belonging as depicted in contemporary French literature, film, and especially comic books. I look at ways comics can inform our understanding of novel social and political possibilities in a widely accessible and legible form. My research is informed by postcolonial theory, visual and museum studies, and conversations with friends!
