Editions Ellipses released the second edition of Linda Martz's coauthored bilingual textbook, Fiches de civilisation américaine et britannique, in December. A second edition of the all-French version is expected to follow.

 
 
 

 

Linda Martz has a BA in International Relations and Islamic Studies from Scripps College, and a Maîtrise, DEA and Doctorat in Langue et Civilisations Anglophones from the University of Paris. In her doctoral dissertation under Françoise Basch, she analyzed the historiography and discourse of the British suffragette movement. She also received training in Teaching English as a Second Language/ Applied Linguistics at UCLA.

 

Her research interests include women’s history and gender studies, particularly women’s access to institutions and women’s activism, as well as the interface between religion and public life. She publishes on the British militant suffrage movement and on aspects of California’s regional religious culture.

 

She is a member and associate board member of the West of England and South Wales region of the Women’s History Network, and a member of the CRPA (Culture et Religions dans les Pays Anglophones), which is a subgroup of the IMAGER Research Group based at the Université de Paris XII. In addition to her own research, she is co-translating the Dictionnaire de Spiritualité Cartusienne du Xe au XVIe siècle, to be published in a bilingual edition by Letouzey et Ané in 2011.
