Aude Dieudé, French Language Fellow

My name, Aude, is pronounced like the word and poem "Ode", and I am currently the French Language Fellow at Mount Holyoke College. This fall semester, I am studying French and francophone cinema in two advanced seminars: "The New Wave" with Professor LeGouis at Mount Holyoke, and "Ousmane Sembene", a course about the Senegalese author and director given by Professor Gadjigo at Amherst College. I am interested in teaching French in higher education, which is why I am attending a practicum at theUniversity of Massachusetts on "Teaching French and Francophone Literature and Culture", and an another interesting course entitled "HigherEducation: Mission and Market". As I enjoy conducting research, studying, and teaching, I am currently applying for a French doctorate program in several American graduate schools. In the long term, I aspire to be a professor who awakens the curiosity and piques the interest of my students' as I share my passion for the French language and francophone culture and literature.
