Loic Bourdeau earned his PhD in French with a Designated Emphasis in Feminist Theory and Research from the University of California, Davis (2014). Whilst working on his dissertation, Loic taught a variety of classes from elementary French to Queer studies. His research lies at the intersection of post-colonial and queer studies. He focuses most specifically on literature and films by queer authors/filmmakers from Quebec, France, and the Maghreb, such as Michel Tremblay, Xavier Dolan, Jean Genet, and Abdellah Taïa. He has published several articles on sexuality in the Québécois context; for instance, “F.O.L.L.E société: déconstruction et reconstruction identitaire dans C.R.A.Z.Y.”, Nouvelles Etudes Francophones, 2012, 27.1. He is currently editing a special issue on “Violence, souffrance, et corps blessé(s), NEF. Loic enjoys teaching courses which raise questions of marginality and deviance in relation to identity and sexuality.
