Professor Slawy-Sutton presents paper on Franco-Algerian writer

Professor Catherine Slawy-Sutton presented a paper recently at the Conseil International d'Etudes Francophones in Aix-en-Provence, France. During a session about Islamic women in Francophone literature and film, Slawy-Sutton delivered a paper titled "La Colère et les éclats de Karima Berger, ou l'évolution d'un itinéraire spirituel." It examines how in her recent essay, "Eclats d'Islam," Franco-Algerian writer Karima Berger negotiates a place for herself between Islam, secularism, modernity, and feminism.
