France

• Art and Architectural History


• Power Accrued through the Objets d'Art of a Dowager Queen
  
  

I intend to study the artistic patronage of Jeanne d'Evruex, a dowager queen from the fourteenth century, and how it relates to her accretion of power. Benefiting from the entwined nature of the church and state, Jeanne used religious objects as a means to physically demonstrate her power. Her patrimony is an unexplored example of the correlation between objects and power that is still manipulated in politics today.

• Musicology


• A Catalogue of the Complete Musical Works of Gabriel Fauré


I intend to compile a complete thematic catalogue of the musical works of Gabriel Fauré, one of the major French composers of the 19th century. This project has not yet been accomplished because of previously unresolved questions on the chronology of autograph scores, all of which have now been answered. Such a catalogue is a standard bibliographic tool for musicologists, and will facilitate Fauré's proper place in the history of music.

• Teaching


• Teaching Assistantship

I propose to teach English in France. I will share my experience of the American culture through my bicultural perspective and transmit my knowledge of the English language. My extensive background in tutoring as well as in my study of languages will help me create constructive and engaging lessons to facilitate the learning of English.
