Biography
I earned my PhD in Comparative Literature from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Before joining the Department of Comparative Literature at the Université de Montréal, I was a Fulbright Scholar in Lebanon and taught at James Madison University. My research work concerns "stateless literature," literature haunted by articulations/disarticulations of "home." This literature involves reflections on plurilingualism, exile, cultural heritage, literary form, literary condition, the politics of belonging, and belonging in a context of diaspora and perpetual displacement. Recently I have been focusing on the affective process of grieving and forms of humour in response to collective experiences of loss and violence.
