I am Catherine Daniélou, Associate Dean of the UAB School
of Arts and Humanities and Associate Professor of French at the University
of Alabama at Birmingham. I was born and raised in France, near
Paris. I received a Licence (English, 1983) and a Maîtrise (American
History, 1984) from the Université
de Paris III, Nouvelle-Sorbonne, and then studied French literature
and American history at Michigan State
University, where I received a M.A.(1987) and Ph.D. (1991). My specialization
is seventeenth-century
French literature, with emphasis on the moralist
writers. I love history, literature, and the history of ideas. I have
worked on La
Rochefoucauld, Pierre Nicole,
Molière,
Madame de Lambert, and the Port-Royalist
movement. My secondary research interests include early modern French women
writers, the study of aging in literature, eighteenth-century
French literature, the history
of Paris, twentieth-century
French literature, the theme of exile, and cultural studies (contemporary
France). My articles and book reviews were published in Symposium,
Papers
on French Seventeenth-Century Literature, Studi Francesi,
Nineteenth-Century
French Studies, Dix-Septième Siècle,
The
French Review. I have been the official translator (French) for
the Infant Mental Health
Journal since 1987, and have recently been translating texts by
Madame de Lambert for an anthology
of early modern French women writers. I have taught beginning and intermediate
French courses, French culture, advanced grammar, survey of French literature,
seventeenth- and eighteenth-century French literature and civilization,
and Foreign
Cultures, my current teaching assignment (FLL 120). I coordinate the
UAB Foreign
Film Series and also serve as advisor to the UAB International
Studies Club. My hobbies include playing golf and gardening. I also
like to explore new
places whenever possible, and travel to France.
