Thomas D’Amato<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThomas D\u2019Amato<\/strong> studied in Paris at the Lyc\u00e9e Henri IV and the Sorbonne, where he earned his MA in French Literatures, working on topics of interest to gender studies, such as the hysteria in medieval literature or the figure of the seducer in several novels of the interwar period. After passing the CAPES and the Agr\u00e9gation exams in 2018, Thomas became a \u201cprofesseur agr\u00e9g\u00e9 de Lettres modernes\u201d in several high schools in \u00cele-de-France. At Hopkins, he would like to develop an interdisciplinary approach to several postwar authors to study how some of them tried to think about the relationship of human beings to their environment beyond the traditional distinction between subject and object. His current areas of interest for this project are ecocriticism, philosophy, and art history.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
