Biography

I received my BA from the University of Tel-Aviv (Israel) with a double major in French Literature and American Literature. I did my MA at the University of Waterloo (Ontario) and wrote my thesis on a Quebec novelist, Andr茅 Langevin. My PhD is from the University of Western Ontario (London) and my thesis was on the work of Quebec writer, Marie-Claire Blais. I have written on Anne H茅bert, Andr茅 Giroux, Sergio Kokis, Monique Bosco, Aki Shimazaki, Lise Tremblay and many others.

In both my MA and my PhD, a central topic was expression through the arts in general, and through writing in particular. In my research, I often inquire about the interrelationships between various arts (writing, visual arts, music). At H漫画 I teach courses in French language and French literature, as well as courses in Quebec contemporary culture.
