Bio/Research
Before joining Carleton in 2016, he taught French and Haitian-Creole at Indiana University while completing a M.A. program in French Instruction (applied linguistics). He received his PhD. in French/Francophone literature at the University of Toronto where he also taught a number of French language and literature courses. His research in Francophone literature examines interactions between Creole orality and French writing in Haitian novels and short stories. It concentrates on a substantial body of fictional literary texts written by major Haitian novelists and short story writers from the nineteenth century to the present day. In his future research, he plans to explore the great influence of Haitian literature on Francophone writers of the global South, particularly on Caribbean and African writers. In the field of French didactics as a Foreign/Second Language, he is working with other colleagues on the creation of textbooks based on the principles of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFRL) and that take into consideration the great diversity of the French language and cultures throughout Canada and the world.
