Aurélie Chatton received her Ph.D. in French from New York University in 2014.
She is currently working on a book project from the revision of her dissertation in which she shows the similarity of thought and sensibility between Edouard Glissant and contemporary artists who share Glissant’s archipelagic thought. By bringing together philosophy, history, theatre and cinema, her work shows the progressive appearance of archipelagic thought from the 1960s onward, through three generations of artists who explore different media, especially theater and cinema (Marguerite Duras, Robert Lepage and Wajdi Mouawad).
At New York University she had the opportunity to teach a variety of classes, from elementary language to upper-level literature courses. In 2010, she received a teaching certificate from the Graduate School of Arts and Science’s Teaching program (NYU). Since 2014, she is a Lecturer in the French Department at Columbia University.
