About this Event
In the 2025 installment of the Department of Modern Languages' annual faculty Signatures lecture, Associate Professor of French Dr. Kathleen Antonioli will present on "Reading Colette after #MeToo." Sidonie-Gabrielle Collete, better known simply as Colette, was one of the most popular and provocative authors of early twentieth-century France, in addition to being an actress, mime, and journalist. How does she remain relevant today? How do we read her life and works in our current context? Dr. Antonioli's responses draw on years of research and publications on this fascinating cultural icon. Catered reception to follow.
