Emilie Diouf\u2019s research and teaching reflect her interdisciplinary background in African Literature, African American and African Studies, as well as Women\u2019s and Gender Studies. She is interested in the relationship between narrative, migration, trauma, and human rights, particularly expanding the field of trauma studies to include more substantially the voices of African women refugees. Since African women refugees trauma narratives represent subjectivities shattered by violence, they are imbricated into the socio-economic and political transits of cultural production, circulation, and reception. She uses trauma theory to explore the ways in which African women survivors of civil war and genocide narrate the large-scale violence inflicted upon them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Emilie\u2019s research in African women\u2019s literature forms a bridge to Francophone Caribbean Women’s literature, and to black feminist theory. Comparisons of various women\u2019s cultural productions across the African Diaspora enhance critical inquiry into systemic violence and the promotion of gender justice. Emilie is interested in diversifying the field of feminist studies through cross cultural analysis that allows us to rethink new feminist paradigms that could take into consideration Black women\u2019s unique conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
