After finishing his undergraduate studies in film at La Sorbonne in Paris, Emile worked as an instructor in various high schools in Paris leading political science workshops for teenagers. While getting his master’s from the École Normale Supérieure, he also got the chance to study at the NYU Tisch School of the Arts. Looking for new adventures, he moved to the West Coast to join the Department of Literatures, Cultures and Languages at Stanford University as a lecturer of French and French Cinema. He has since lectured at several institutions to share his passion for French culture, including the New York DOE and cultural venues. Presently, he is an educational advisor for an educational company based in New York. Additionally, he works as an interpreter for French TV shows and film festivals. Emile speaks French and some German.

After finishing his undergrad in Buffalo, New York, Ean spent two years as a volunteer teacher at Xavier High School in Chuuk, Micronesia. While there, he taught world history, English writing, and health, along with politics-oriented electives for juniors and seniors. After deliberating staying for a third year abroad, Ean ultimately chose to pursue a master’s degree at Fordham University in New York. There, he continued to study development economics and remained interested in society, world cultures, and travel. He was offered a full-time position there as an International Student Advisor and continues to work and reside happily in the Bronx. Ean has led student programs in Oxford, Florence, Madrid, and Morocco.

While at New York University, Camille focused on studying French sociology and history through the lens of women and class structures. She went to Paris to study the gentrification of the city and examined history through the lens of underrepresented populations. Camille studied mathematics and French in her undergraduate degree. After finishing her master’s, she moved to Brooklyn and began teaching math and French at various prep schools in New York City. Camille now works at the Nightingale Bamford School in Manhattan and teaches mathematics. Born in a French-speaking family, Camille has lived and traveled in France since she was a child. This fall, she will continue to teach mathematics at Nightingale Bamford.

During her undergraduate studies at Missouri State University, Andrea studied art history (including Egyptian art) in the South of France at Université Paul Valéry III and following graduation, she taught English to native French students in Paris. While working on her MFA at the San Francisco Art Institute (SFAI Master of Fine Arts Graduate Fellowship), Andrea completed an intern/externship with Aperture/Aperture West. She was also awarded the Exploratory Travel Grant to conduct art research in Tokyo and Kyoto, Japan, for MSU faculty. For the past seven years, she developed and has led MSU short-term art and culture programs in France and Japan. Last summer, Andrea completed an artist residency program in Iceland, exploring gender and equality in Reykjavik.

Isabelle graduated from the Sorbonne in Paris and defended her Ph.D. on Victorian literature at the University of Sorbonne Nouvelle, before getting her "Habilitation à diriger des recherches" (allowing her to supervise doctoral candidates) from the University of Poitiers, France. While working on British literature, she also went on with further training in art history, and wrote a short thesis on a prominent 19th century English art collector, George Salting. Ever since, she has worked on the British circles of art amateurs and collectors and on the European fascination for the Orient at the end of the 19th century—a subject on which she organized several international conferences, published many articles, co-edited two books, and recently wrote a monograph, published by Routledge. Thus art history has always been at the center of her academic work (and of her life, since her husband is a painter). Born and bred in Paris, although she also lived in London and Madrid and traveled extensively in Europe, she knows and loves the French capital and will be delighted to rediscover it with students. Isabelle is currently Professor of British Art and Literature at the University of Poitiers. She is fluent in English and Spanish, studied the bases of the Persian language and, as her friends once put it in a song, "knows (almost) everything about museums, including those that are closed!"
