"The relationship between languages, literatures and cultures as well as bridges between people from different parts of the world are the best way to expose my students to the richness of diversity."

Dr. Siamundele
believes that studying the relationship between languages, literatures
and cultures, as well as the bridges between people from different
parts of the world, are the best way to expose students to the richness
of diversity. He is developing a comparative approach to the cultural,
political and literary discourses in Post-colonial Francophone Africa
through literary texts and films, and finds that the small class
size at Wells allow for deep discussions and close interaction with
students. Senghor, Kourouma and Sony Labou Tansi: "D'un mouvement littéraire à la littérature en mouvement ou la Négritude de l'ère postcoloniale," in Littéréalité, July 2004.
