About Me: I am a PhD student at the university of Connecticut, and I am interested in 20th/21st century Quebecois literature and theatre. I have presented on Antonine Maillet and will present in November on Anne Hebert. Although a specific disseration topic has yet to be determined, I am interested by biography, fiction and how the two mix in Quebecois novels/plays written by women/ about women.

I am also very interested in new applications that could better help my students in both foreign language (French) and literature classes. I am just now learning about all the wonderful opportunities that Web2.0 applications have to offer instructors and students. Any ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated on what has worked for all of you. Please feel free to leave me tips!
