Ph.D. Student
Gwénaël Jouin earned his Bachelor’s degree and his Master’s degree in Comparative Literature from Sorbonne University in Paris. Now a Ph.D. candidate in Comparative Literature at Purdue University, where he was a Lynn Fellowship recipient during his first year, he works on French, British, and Spanish novels from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century. He especially explores how the novel’s epistemology can help audiences grasp the characteristics of the nature and pursuit of truth and, in turn, how the concept of truth can guide scholars in analyzing the theoretically challenging genre of the novel.
