MARIE CULPEPPER
About Me.

I am a Ph.D. student at the University of Iowa currently writing my dissertation on the manifestations of collective memory in literature about the Vichy era and the Algerian War. I am also a dedicated and passionate educator of French language and literature. My mission is to inspire and empower students to explore the rich and diverse francophone cultures, histories, and perspectives through engaging and innovative pedagogical approaches.
