Biography
Dr. Evie Munier is a Visiting Assistant Professor of French and Gender Studies at St Mary’s College of Maryland. She holds a PhD in French from Indiana University (July 2023), in addition to a Master Mondes Anglophones from the Université de Lorraine and a Masters of Arts in French and Francophone Studies. Her doctoral dissertation, titled “Banlieusard·e·s: Female Identities, Intersectionality, and Performativity in Contemporary French Banlieue Cinema” focuses on the intersectional and performative qualities of female bodies in contemporary French cinema (2000-2020), and most specifically, in contemporary banlieue cinema. Her pluri-disciplinal approach draws from gender studies, post-colonial studies, film and media studies, and cultural studies to inform her work on representations of gender, class, and race in French cinema. Her research aims to contribute to the ongoing scholarly and cultural dialogue on intersectional identities and identity politics in France.
