Our faculty's expertise encompasses a broad range spanning French language and linguistics, French and Francophone literature and culture (Belgium, West Africa, Quebec, Haiti); Latin American literature; Hispanic women's writing; Spanish and Latin American culture; Hispanic linguistics; and the use of technology in the humanities.
