Dr Emeline Morin

Personal Statement

I joined the University of Liverpool in June 2020 as a Lecturer in French, having previously worked at the Universities of Stirling, Southampton, and Glasgow.

I completed a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature at the University of Glasgow in 2016, and my doctoral thesis examined Francophone and Anglophone literary and cinematic cultures through a study of contemporary rewritings of fairy tales. I am particularly interested in the environments in which texts are produced and circulated, and have been using fairy-tale motifs in particular to examine different cultural trends and different fields of cultural production.

I also have a keen interest in language and translation, in particular the ethics of translation in feminist translation and contemporary fiction, and I have been recently working on reflecting on my own practice of teaching French as a global and inclusive language.

I am an HEA Fellow, currently working towards Senior Fellowship.
