Summary of research interests and expertise 

  • Bande Dessin茅e
  • Graphic Novels
  • Gender Studies
  • Feminist Visual Theory
  • Migration
  • French Guiana 

My principal research interests concern the representation of women in French-language graphic novels (产补苍诲别&苍产蝉辫;诲别蝉蝉颈苍茅别) and the work of contemporary female 产补苍诲别&苍产蝉辫;诲别蝉蝉颈苍茅别 artists. Both of these interests are reflected in my first monograph, Invisible Presence: The Representation of Women in French-Language Comics, published by Intellect in September 2021. 

A further research interest concerns French Guiana, a 诲茅辫补谤迟别尘别苍迟&苍产蝉辫;诲鈥檕耻迟谤别-尘别谤 known as Guyane in French, in particular the social and cultural plurality of this under-studied region. This interest became the focus of Locating Guyane, a volume published by Liverpool University Press in 2018, which I co-edited with Sarah Wood. 

My current research project returns to the question of women in 产补苍诲别&苍产蝉辫;诲别蝉蝉颈苍茅别, considering how contemporary female artists are using the form to break entrenched female bodily 鈥榯aboos鈥, both in their depictions of women鈥檚 bodies and their reflection on questions of reproductive health. 

In addition to my lecturing role at ULIP, I sit on the steering committee of the Centre for the Study of Contemporary Women鈥檚 Writing, and I am reviews co-editor for the European Comic Art journal.
