Fonctions

My background is in Comparative Literature (Ph.D. Yale University, 1991). I teach language courses ("comprehension orale"), translation ("theme" - French to English), and upper level courses in the history of ideas (on Democracy, Empire, Fascism), rhetoric ("Understanding Arguments"; "Controlling the Narrative"), and cinema ("History of France through Film").

As service, I have for many years interviewed and advised Lyon 3 students who wish to study English abroad or teach French abroad.

I direct Master theses at the rate of roughly 3 per year and serve on the jury of several Master theses in LEA, LCE, and LLCER each year.

I have published three books on "Ralph Waldo Emerson: une introduction" (2006, in French), "Tocqueville and Democracy in the Internet Age" (Open Humanities Press, 2014), and "Fascism, Vulnerability, and the Escape from Freedom: Readings to Repair Democracy" (Punctum Books, 2022).

I have translated a dozen books - nonfiction and two novels - from French to English, as well as many scholarly articles and shorter documents. The most recent translation for University of Chicago Press (2025), The Legacy of the Enlightenment by Antoine Lilti (College de France).
