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.

Professor McWebb’s present research focuses mainly on the Digital Humanities and late medieval French literature and culture. She has published extensively on the late medieval French writer Christine de Pizan as well as on the Roman de la rose. Of particular interest are Christine de Pizan’s sustained reactions to this work and the relation between text and iconography in late medieval literature. She published a critical anthology Debating the Roman de la rose: A Critical Anthology with Routledge (2007) and is currently working on a monograph on the textual and iconographic discourse of alchemy in the Roman de la rose. Further, she is co-director of the internationally recognized MARGOT project, which publishes in enriched digital form literary and iconographic materials from the French Middle Ages and the Early Modern Period. Her most recent contribution to this digitization project is the development of an image annotation software called imageMAT that is now in its beta phase. Her teaching includes undergraduate and graduate courses on digital cultures, media history and innovation, medieval literature, women writers in the Middle Ages, and translation.
