Victoria Bergstrom is an Assistant Professor of French and Francophone Studies in the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures at Lehigh University. Her academic foundation includes a PhD and MA from the University of California, Berkeley, and a BA from Columbia University.

Her research examines modern/contemporary French poetry through interdisciplinary lenses including:
