Biography

Romain Pasquer Brochard’s work is situated at the intersection of Caribbean studies, the trauma of slavery and colonialism in the francophone, and the study of literary theory and psychoanalysis. His research explores the role literary writers and their texts play in the testimony of the trauma of slavery and colonialism in the French Caribbean. In his work, he examines how literature can serve as a mode of testimony that emerges from within a traumatic history that continually repeats itself, even as it resists being recorded in historiographical discourses.

Prior to coming to Â鶹ÊÓƵ College, he had taught at Cornell University, the Cornell Prison Education Program, and Union College, NY.
