Research areas

I conduct and supervise research on 20th and 21st century fiction,  both from metropolitan France and from the wider francophone world, where my particular expertise is in the novelists of the Antilles. I have published monographs on the French novelist Michel Tournier and on the Antillean writer Patrick Chamoiseau; have edited volumes on the wider Caribbean (Caribbean Connections, a special issue of the Journal Forum for Modern Language Studies) and on Postcolonial violence and identity in Francophone Africa and the Antilles; and have co-edited Narratives of French Modernity: Themes, Forms and Metamorphoses as well as French Presidentialism and the Elections of 1995.
