Flora Champy joined the Department of French and Italian as an Assistant Professor of French in September 2018. She holds a dual PhD in French Literature from the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon and Rutgers University. Her research focuses on eighteenth-century French political literature and philosophy, with special interests in classical reception, theater and film studies. Her work on Jean-Jacques Rousseau's reception of ancient Greece and Rome ultimately examines the relevance of ancient democratic models for modern times.
