Melanie Bhend

 After completing a Masters in Comparative Literature in the University of Geneva and working for two years as a French language assistant in colleges in Northern Ireland, I started a PhD in French and Francophone studies at the University of Nottingham in 2012. My thesis is looking at the conceptual and poetic representation of madness and the mad discourse in French literature during the golden age of psychiatry (1830-1870). My research interests are mainly in the links between different discourses on madness and their representation in literature. I have been teaching French language and literature at the University of Nottingham since 2013, for Undergraduate and Postgraduate students (in the case of language).
