Kheira Belhadj-Ziane (Université du Québec en Outaouais), November 2018.
Mary Gallagher, School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics, University College, Dublin, Ireland, March 2018.
Mary Gallagher's research on Francophone Caribbean literature echoes that of several REMELICE colleagues on Spanish- and English-speaking Caribbean literature. Mary Gallagher is also interested in the issues of cultural transmission/transformation at university, as evidenced by her monograph published in 2012 on the transformations at work in Irish and international higher education, which ties in with work undertaken within the REMELICE laboratory on the question of the “usefulness” of foreign language-cultures at university.
As part of her visit to the University of Orléans, Mary Gallagher also offered a research conference on the writer Lafcadio Hearn, on the general theme of the political, ethical and cultural issues of migration, “The Making of a Global Writer: the Story of Lafcadio Hearn”, as well as two research seminars for students in the Master’s degree in Languages and Societies, Specialization Languages, Transmission and Intercultural Mediation:
- “The challenge of teaching languages and literature in the contemporary university”,
- “What place for critical thinking in the contemporary imperatives of higher education?”
