Kirk Read, Ph.D Princeton University
Kirk Read is Associate Professor of French. A specialist in Early Modern French literature, his teaching concentrates mainly on pre-revolutionary France as well as Francophone North Africa. His current research project, Birthing Bodies: Inscription of Reproduction in Renaissance France, investigates gender, sex and sexuality across literary genres. He will be presenting portions of this research at conferences in Philadephia and Venice in the upcoming academic year. In collaboration with colleagues and students over his 18-year tenure at Bates he has developed a course in oral French that follows the adventures of a fictional North African heroine, Marie Malika d'Alger —an endeavor that combines his interests in language, culture and theatre. Professor Read also currently serves as Division Chair for Humanities at the college.
