Statement of Interests
Professor Sivert's main areas of teaching and research have been nineteenth-century French prose and theater, narrative theory, femininst theory, and women's writing. In the past few years Professor Sivert has developed a new teaching and research area based on her interest in Québécois literature, and immigration writing, with particular attention to immigration in Quebec. While teaching mostly in French, she also teaches literature and film of Quebec in translation. Her published work includes articles on such French writers as Sand, Balzac, Mérimée, Barbey d'Aurevilly, as well as on Québecois writers Marie-Claire Blais, Jovette Marchessault, and Ying Chen. She is currently writing a book on women novelists in Quebec, and serving as Director of Undergraduate Studies in French for the Department of French and Italian.
