In the undergraduate program, she teaches all levels of French language, literature courses in French on the literature of the Classical Era, French theater of all periods, comedy, and literature by or about women. She offers courses in English translation on most of these topics, many in the French program, some cross-listed with women’s studies, and several also in the college honors program and the Masters of Liberal Studies program. In addition, she teaches seventeenth-century French literature in the graduate program in French in New Brunswick.
Jean-Louis Hippolyte holds a M.A. and a Ph.D. from the University of Colorado. His area of specialization is is Twentieth-Century French Literature. In addition to this, he has worked extensively on French literature in all centuries since the Middle Ages. His teaching interests include French language and culture, contemporary literature and criticism; French cinema; the intersection of discourses in the humanities and the sciences, notably chaos theory and fuzzy logic; the fantastic and magical realism; popular culture and literature; the writing of otherness as well as the emergence of minor literatures in France and in the Francophone world, and their relation to the canon.
His book on contemporary French literature entitled Fuzzy Fiction (University of Nebraska Press) was published in December 2006 and Septième Art (a textbook on French cinema co-authored by David Aldstadt) was published in January 2007 by Heinle.
