​

Welcome!

 

My name is Léna Remy-Kovach ​[ˈlɛnə ˈrɛmi ˈkoʊvɑk] (she/her). I am a Ph.D. candidate in North American Indigenous Literatures at the Albert-Ludwigs University of Freiburg, in Germany. My doctoral research focuses on the strategies for healing in contemporary horror and fantasy Indigenous wonderworks.

​

My other projects include the imagery of hunger and cannibalism in contemporary Indigenous horror literature, the commodification of Indigenous monsters in Horror television series, and the use of traditional Euro-American creatures and tropes in modern Horror by Indigenous writers from Turtle Island.

 

I am currently a Lecturer at the Department of French and Italian Studies at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. I teach intermediate French language and culture, as well as  Introduction to Literary Analysis. 

​

I live in Wisconsin, on the traditional Ho-Chunk, Kiikaapoi, Očhéthi Šakówiŋ, Sauk, and Meskwaki territories. I am grateful and honored to live here, and to have the opportunity to work with and for my Indigenous neighbors and landlords.
