Lise Guilhamon

Lise Guilhamon serves as a Lecturer at the Institute of Cultural and International Studies (IECI) of the University of Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, holding dual leadership roles as Director of the IECI Language Department and LANSAD English Coordinator. She is affiliated with the Department of Languages and the Center for the Cultural History of Contemporary Societies (CHCSC) laboratory.

Her academic credentials include:

• Doctorate in "Poetics of the Other Language in the Indian Novel in English" from University of Rennes II (2007)
• Agrégation of English (2001)
• École normale supérieure de Paris (1998-2006)
• DULCO of Hindi from National Institute of Oriental Languages and Civilizations (2002-2005)

Guilhamon's research centers on postcolonial Indian literature and diaspora narratives, with specialized focus on ecocritical fiction, British Colonial Literature, and the linguistic dimensions of multilingualism in fiction. Her work bridges literary analysis with pedagogical innovation in literature education, examining how language heterogeneity shapes postcolonial identity in Anglophone Indian writing.

Her publication trends reveal consistent engagement with major Indian authors like Amitav Ghosh and Salman Rushdie, analyzing historical intersections in literary works and linguistic hybridity within colonial contexts. The research demonstrates strong thematic continuity in postcolonial theory and literary linguistics across a 10-year span.

Guilhamon maintains active international research collaborations through recent appointments as Visiting Scholar at Stanford University's CASBS (2021-22) and Northwestern University (2007), alongside teaching positions at Jawaharlal Nehru University (2001-02) and Cambridge University (1999-2000).

She directs the IECI Language Department while coordinating English instruction for LANSAD, teaching diverse courses from Introduction to American/British Literature to specialized topics like Cultural History of the English-Speaking World and 19th-century British Literature at both undergraduate and Master's levels.
