Licence ès Lettres modernes, ICES (France) et Université Sainte-Anne (Nouvelle-Écosse), 2004 Maîtrise en Littérature comparée, ICES (France), 2006 PhD en Études littéraires, Université de Moncton (Nouveau-Brunswick), 2015

Mes travaux de recherche s’orientent autour de deux centres d’intérêts : la littérature de voyage en Amérique (XVIe – XVIIe siècles) et l’intégration des nouvelles technologies dans l’enseignement du français langue seconde. Je m’intéresse, plus précisément, aux stratégies discursives du genre viatique et aux représentations de l’altérité américaine (peuples, espaces, faune et flore) dans les textes et l’iconographie de la Renaissance et du Grand Siècle. Je développe, par ailleurs, du contenu interactif pour les cours en ligne et je mène des expériences en didactique des langues sur l’identification des erreurs persistantes, la rétroaction et le réinvestissement.
