Lauriane Guihard comes from Brittany (France). After spending a year as an exchange student and a teaching assistant at the University of Notre Dame in 2015-2016, Lauriane decided to continue her academic career in the United States, obtaining a Master's Degree in French and Francophone Studies in 2017, before entering the University of Pennsylvania as a Ph.D. candidate.
Her research focuses on French tragedy from the Renaissance to the 17th Century, in particular the connection between theatre and politics, and the question of performance. For her dissertation, Lauriane examines the ways the sixteenth-century authors used the chorus in their tragedies, in relation with the Ancient model and the contemporary context. Her other research interests include medieval studies, gender studies, the Ancient theatre, lyric poetry and regional literature.
