She received her PhD jointly from the Department of French and Institute of French Studies at New York University in 2013. She just finished a yearlong fellowship at the John W. Kluge center at the Library of Congress. While there, she finished work on her book manuscript, which is a history of civil war and post-independence writing in Haiti entitled, “Haiti’s Paper War: Post-Independence Writing and the Making of the Republic, 1804–1954.” She also recently announced a Digital Humanities project in conjunction with the National Digital Initiatives at the Library of Congress on the Haitian social science journal, Revue de la Société Haïtienne d’Histoire de Géographie et de Géologie, which is slated to go live on labs.loc.gov this spring. She has published articles in French Studies and Francosphères, as well as in edited volumes.
