My research focus on French-language feminist theory and literature in a Transatlantic perspective.

In my PhD project, I work with feminist essays from the 1970s (by Luce Irigaray amongst others) and how they have influenced contemporary thoughts on sex, gender, and difference in and outside Academia through their reception and circulation in the US. Furthermore, I study how the feminist and social movements of the 1970s (especially in relation to France and the US) are remembered in later representations of the period in literature, media, and academic research.

PhD project title: ”Reading and Living Theory. Toward a Media History of the Contemporary Feminist Essay”.
