B. Natacha Pawa, PhD

Subs. Assistant Professor, Lehman College, CUNY.

I am passionate about teaching the French Language, literature, and culture, and I love World Literature. I have served at St John’s University, Queens Borough Community College, Hunter College, and City College. Currently, I serve at Lehman College. My areas of specialization are broad and interdisciplinary ranging from modern and post-modern French Literature to subsaharian literature (francophone and anglophone). I am also well-versed in narratology, semiotics, psychoanalysis, historical materialism, and post-colonial theories.
