Isabelle DeMarte, Associate Professor of French
GEND 300 Gender and Aesthetic Expression
FREN 230 French Literature in Translation
I have an article forthcoming on 18th-century French playwright Olympe de Gouges and her use of gendered discourse. I work on the epistolary form. In the Spring of 2009, I taught a captstone course, FREN 450, on letter-writing as a bridge between communication and creation. Gender is central to our discussions as, historically, essentially through the development of the epistolary novel, the epistolary form has been an authorized territory for women. At the same time, however, the epistolary form can also be viewed as a medium intrinsically linked to the shaping of individual consciousness, in particular as it applied to the idea of human, un-gendered, rights.

John M. Fritzman, Associate Professor of Philosophy

Susan Glosser, Associate Professor of History
HIST 311 History of Family and Gender in China examines the ideals and realities of family, gender, and sexuality throughout Chinese history, but with an emphasis on the past one hundred years. My research tends to deal with the ways in which gender and family practices and expectations intersect with politics in twentieth century China.

GEND 300 Gender and Aesthetic Expression
ENG 243 Women and Literature
In 2005, I edited Catherine Frances Gore's "Cecil: Or, the Adventures of a Coxcomb, an 1841 novel proffered as the memoirs of a Regency dandy". Gore's novel constitutes a daring act of narratorial drag and a dramatic departure from the constraints of female propriety. More recently my research has explored intersections among law, literature, and gender.

Jane Hunter, Professor of History and Associate Dean of the College
I am currently serving as associate dean of the college, so am not teaching. However, my research has focused on the history of women--including a book on women missionaries in China--and the ways that gender influenced the way that Chinese and Americans regarded each other. I also have a book entitled "How Young Ladies Became Girls" that pays attention (among other things) to the impact of coeducational high schools in changing expectations for women I have taught U.S. Women's History, and courses in American social and cultural history that include gender as critical to understanding the past.
