The Wellesley College French House is pleased to welcome Kalamazoo College’s Christina Carroll for their lecture “Redefining Republic and Empire in France and Algeria after 1870-71.”

Christina Carroll is Associate Professor in the Department of History at Kalamazoo College. Her work focuses on the history of nineteenth-century France and its colonial empire, especially in Algeria; she also has interests in memory, intellectual history, and political culture. Her first book, The Politics of Imperial Memory in France, 1850-1900, was published by Cornell University Press in 2022. Her current project, “Transportation, Exile, and Colonial Politics in France and Algeria, 1848-1880,” looks at the intersection between transportation aimed at removing political dissidents from metropolitan France and transportation intended to control political dissent among indigenous communities in French colonial Algeria.

This event will be held in the French House (33 Dover Road, Wellesley, MA) and will be in English. Please join us for a stimulating lecture and refreshments.
