Jocelyn C. Van Tuyl
Professor Van Tuyl teaches all levels of French language and offers courses on a wide range of topics in French and Francophone literature and culture.
She is the author of André Gide and the Second World War: A Novelist’s Occupation and has recently completed a study of literature and epidemiology, looking at the ways Gide, Céline, Conrad, and others were unwitting witnesses to the conditions in colonized Africa that set the stage for the zoonosis (animal-to-human transmission), adaptation, and transmission of HIV.
