Biography

I am a Ph.D. candidate broadly interested in the role of media and historical memory in negotiating French political culture after the Revolution of 1789. My dissertation examines the role of Old Norse literary texts as objects of a new, reactionary fascination within French medieval studies during the long nineteenth century.
