Kate Schlosser is originally from Cincinnati, OH. She earned a PhD in French and Francophone Studies from UCLA. Her dissertation entitled “Voices of Silence in Francophone Women’s Literature: Comparisons of Algerian and Mauritian Novels,” investigates Algerian and Mauritian Francophone women’s literature and how these writers revalorize the use of silence in women’s writing, showing its necessity and productivity within the narrative.  The development of women’s use of silence in literature is part of her broader interest in representations of women in Francophone literature and film. She's enjoyed teaching a variety of French language, literature and film classes, as well as pedagogical courses for new language instructors.
