Please note: Martha has left the "Romance Studies" group at Duke University; some info here might not be up to date.

My research interests lie at the intersection of intercultural identities and learning, historiography, museology and 20^th- and 21^st-Century French and Francophone literatures and film. Particularly, my work contributes to ongoing discussions on the topic of transdisciplinary hybridity in Postcolonial Studies.
