Kathryne Adair Corbin is Assistant Professor of French and Francophone Studies. Her teaching and research spans diverse projects in nineteenth and twentieth century France in the areas of gender and sexuality studies, cultural studies, visual studies, and media studies. She specifically explores the voices of women in literature and journalism of the Belle Époque, an essential period of transition for women as they gradually assumed more visible roles in major newspapers and periodicals. Her book manuscript centers on spectacle and style in the works of France’s first woman reporter, Séverine, and the idea that Séverine positively made use of the condition of her sex, that is, of women’s non-status, in order to investigate and report current events to readers of the daily press.

She is co-editor with Aurélie Chevant-Aksoy of Culture and Content in French: Frameworks for Innovative Curricula (Lever Press, 2022).

Select publications include:

“‘On ne peut que cracher sur la page du Code.’ Pour une nouvelle cour de justice : la journaliste et la criminelle dans la presse quotidienne de la Belle Époque.” Tangence, special issue, “Femmes criminelles et culture médiatique,” ed.
