James McCabe, PhD candidate, is looking poised and suave as he delivered his presentation on “Passing in Parisian Interiors: Encounters with Jeanne Duval, Berthe Morisot, and Julie Manet-Rouart in the Metropole“ at the 2023 Nineteenth-Century French Studies Conference in Baltimore (John Hopkins University) this morning.
James’ current research focuses on gender, colonialism, and nationalism in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century French art. Under the direction of his advisor Prof. Leo Costello, James’ dissertation, Morisot Rêveuse, examines French Impressionist Berthe Morisot’s later artworks to piece together the relationship between the bourgeois interiors of the metropole and the French colonies.
Many thanks to MCLC Chair Jacqueline Couti for the great captures! Dr. Couti presented twice at the colloquium with her paper “Bissette, critique littéraire: Circulation des idées et des pratiques politiques et raciales” for the ‘Passages of Power in Colonial Print Culture’ session and “(Im)passable Creole Archives: Recovering Martinican Women’s Agency” in the roundtable ‘W/rite of Passage: Archives and their Discontents.’
Great representation from Rice at the NCFS conference this year!
