Welcome to my website. I am an assistant professor of French at Baylor University, in the Department of Modern Foreign Languages.
My undergraduate studies took me from Romania to Germany, back to Romania and then to France. I received my M.A. from the Ecole Normale Supérieure – Lettres et Sciences Humaines (Lyons, France) in 2001. I started my doctoral work in France, but in 2002 I decided to cross the Atlantic for graduate studies at New York University. In 2007 I received my Ph.D. in French, with a focus in medieval literature.
I like teaching French language, literature and culture. My research interests include French medieval literature, narrative literature, historiography, and the concept of authorship in the Early Modern period. Although I am primarily interested in the Middle Ages, I also work with French theory and contemporary cinema.
Baylor University is an exciting place to be, with its double emphasis on teaching and research. It is also an institution with a vision and tremendous appetite for growth, and this is why I am extremely happy to be part of the Baylor community.
