Marie-Catherine Allard graduated with a\u00a0 PhD in Cultural Mediations here at Carleton. She has the honour of being supervised by Dr. Sarah Casteel and is privileged to be working with Dr. James Casteel and Dr. Deidre Butler as her thesis committee members. Her dissertation, which is entitled \u201cRemediating Memory: Narrating the Kindertransport in Literature and Popular Culture,\u201d focuses on the narratives of Karen Gershon, Ruth Barnett, and Frank Meisler. In her work, she explores the ways in which the Kinder\u2019s numerous retellings of their evacuation and remediation from one medium or literary genre to another foster the reconfiguration of their Kindertransport experience. Marie-Catherine has been awarded the Andras Memorial Award to support her research on the artistic representation of the Kindertransport, the rescue operation which allowed, before the outbreak of World War II, for the relocation of ten thousand children at risk of deportation from Austria, Germany, Czechoslovakia, and Danzig mainly to Great Britain.<\/p>\n

Marie-Catherine graduated from Bishop\u2019s University with a Bachelor\u2019s degree in Modern Languages with concentrations in German and Italian Studies and a Hispanic Studies Major. She then earned a M.A in World Literatures and Cultures at the University of Ottawa. By focusing on the Saussurian sign as well as on East German cinema, her Major Research Paper project challenges the official date of the opening of the Berlin wall by demonstrating that it artistically collapsed before 1989.<\/p>\n
