She has published a book that investigates how French Romanticism was shaped by and contributed to colonial discourses of race. In addition, she has co-edited a volume that explores the links between the novel and drama in nineteenth-century France and has published several articles on the works of Romantic writers, including George Sand and Bernardin de Saint-Pierre. She is currently working on a project that is tentatively entitled “The French Indian Ocean.” The project is a study of the Indian Ocean as it has been imagined, mythologized, observed, and examined by French and francophone writers of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
