Morgane Cadieu is Associate Professor of French at Yale, where she teaches courses on contemporary literature, social mobility, and everyday life (trains, supermarkets). Her first book in French, Marcher au hasard, examined a 20th-century experimental group of writers using mathematical models to produce novels, reflect on creativity and free will, and propose new ways of envisioning literary walks in urban settings. Her second book in English is centered on French writer Annie Ernaux, and is forthcoming with The University of Chicago Press under the title: On Both Sides of the Tracks: Social Mobility in Contemporary French Literature. Morgane Cadieu earned a PhD from Cornell University.
