Introduction
A researcher in postcolonial studies, Dr. Anna Lesne has studied representations of place and collective identity in scientific and literary texts produced in and on the French Caribbean, and the role played by writers and public intellectuals, including Aimé Césaire and Edouard Glissant.
She’s developed an interest in critical geography while teaching at NYU. She now studies issues of power, inequalities, discriminations, and resistance in global cities, in particular Paris.
These are key topics in her Experiential Learning seminars for GLS students, along with research methods. She also teaches the Internship Seminar, where students develop a research project based on a fieldwork experience (a two-month internship in Paris).
Before teaching at NYU, Anna Lesne has lived on four continents, taught in a few universities, and been a journalist for five years. She has a Ph.D. in Social and Cultural Anthropology from the Université de Provence and an M.A. in Comparative Literature from the Sorbonne.
