Hello and welcome!
I am a Senior Lecturer in 18th-century and Romantic Literature at the English Department here at Unil. I was educated at the University of Zurich and University of California, Los Angeles. The human rights discourse and the colonial matrix developing in 18th-centruy Britain underlie my keen interest in gender, (post)colonial and the Transatlantic studies.
I am currently working on a monograph which examines cosmopolitan attitudes in literary works of the British Enlightenment. The book assembles novels, travel writing, children's literature and poetry written between the 1760s and the 1820s and is titled "Cosmopolitan Moments: Inclusion and Critique in the Long Eighteenth Century."
