معرفی
Tamara El-Hoss is an Associate Professor in the Department of Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures at Brock University. Her research focuses on displacement, graphic novels (bande dessinée), and post-colonial Francophone literatures, particularly addressing immigrant/refugee narratives, (de)colonial histories, and cultural hybridity. She holds a Ph.D. and M.A. in French Literature from the University of Toronto and a B.A. in French Studies from York University.
Her research interests include beur artistic outputs (literature/film), Maghrebian diaspora identities, and queer perspectives in Francophone contexts. She co-edited Im/migrant Passages: Crossing Visual, Spatial and Textual Boundaries (2020) and has published widely on graphic novels like Black Blanc Beur and films like Mathieu Kassovitz’s La Haine.
El-Hoss teaches courses on Francophone cultures, postcolonial literatures, and critical theory. Her graduate supervision emphasizes comparative methodologies and cultural narratives, with notable supervisees examining topics like Maghrebian women’s identity and postcolonial exoticism.
Her scholarly work bridges textual analysis with visual and spatial studies, exploring how marginalized voices navigate cultural, linguistic, and political boundaries. Current projects likely expand her focus on transnational cultural dynamics and artistic representations of displacement.
