معرفی
Cheryl Morgan is Professor of French and Francophone Studies at Hamilton College, specializing in 19th-century French literature with particular expertise in women writers, literary humor, and urban narratives. Her academic home is the Department of French and Francophone Studies within Hamilton College's liberal arts framework.
Her research focuses on recovering and analyzing marginalized voices in French literary history, particularly women writers from the Romantic era through the Belle Époque. Morgan's work examines how female authors navigated patriarchal constraints through humor, satire, and innovative narrative techniques, with significant contributions to understanding Delphine Gay de Girardin's journalistic legacy and the evolution of women's comedic expression from salon culture to digital media.
Morgan's recent publications demonstrate consistent engagement with gendered humor across historical periods, revealing continuities in women's comedic strategies from post-Revolutionary France to contemporary digital platforms. Her scholarship often intersects urban studies, examining Paris as both literal and metaphorical space for female expression.
