Bienvenue! مرحبا A native of Western Pennsylvania whose roots are deep in the mountains of Northeast Tennessee, Rebecca is a 4th year PhD student (ABD) in the Department of French and Italian, with a concentration in Francophone Studies. She holds a MA in French Literature (2006) and a BA in Political Science and French (2003), and an International Business Certificate (2003). Although she has experience teaching a variety of basic language and French culture classes, she most recently has taught a lecture course on the History of Paris at Penn State. Her interests are interdisciplinary, ranging from French Immigration Literature and History to Arabic language studies and Colonial/Post-colonial Politics. When she away from the university setting, she enjoys spending time assisting immigrants in the Iowa City community through ESL tutoring and various leadership activities in conjunction with the University of Iowa Office of International Scholars and Students (OISS). She also promotes cultural understanding among children through a French language enrichment course that she teaches at an area elementary school. |
