معرفی
Laine Doggett is Professor of French in the International Languages and Cultures Department at St. Mary's College of Maryland, currently on sabbatical for the 2023-2024 academic year. She joined the institution in 2003 after prior teaching positions in South Carolina and Florida, with additional international teaching experience in France, Switzerland, and Italy.
Her academic credentials include:
- Ph.D. in French and Women's Studies from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (1997)
- M.A. in French from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (1992)
- B.A. in Humanities from Wofford College (1988)
Professor Doggett's research centers on medieval French literary traditions, examining gender dynamics, power structures at medieval courts, and societal responses to conflicting knowledge systems. Her scholarship bridges historical analysis with contemporary relevance, demonstrating how medieval narratives inform modern understandings of identity, authority, and cultural transmission. This interdisciplinary approach integrates literary criticism with historical anthropology and gender theory.
Her recent publication on the Roman de la Poire exemplifies her methodological focus on textual-material interplay in manuscript culture. Collectively, her work reveals persistent patterns in how societies negotiate truth claims through narrative frameworks, with particular attention to marginalized perspectives in premodern literature.
Her scholarly recognition includes:
- First Book Prize for Love Cures: Healing and Love Magic in Old French Romance (Southeastern Medieval Association, 2012)
Professor Doggett mentors undergraduate students through specialized courses including "Love is a Battlefield," "Knowledge, Learning and Gender in Literature," and "Comedy and Social Commentary." Her pedagogical approach emphasizes linguistic proficiency development alongside critical analysis of cultural narratives, fostering students' ability to engage with complex texts and cross-cultural perspectives. While specific grant funding isn't documented, her research program is sustained through institutional support and sabbatical allocations.
