Professor Emerita of Classics

During her active time at �̾��Ƶ, Jula Wildberger taught the languages and literatures of classical antiquity (Greek and Latin) and courses in philosophy. Most of her current research concerns ancient Stoicism, its sources, its ancient reception, and its impact on modern thought. She applies her training in classical philology to the intersections between pragmatic, philosophical and literary questions, aiming to provide scholarship that contributes to her academic discipline but may also speak to any intellectual and moral agent in the modern world.

President Emerita

Dr. Celeste M. Schenck assumed office as the twelfth president of The American University of Paris on October 15, 2008. She is the second woman to assume leadership of the University, and the first president to have risen from the University’s professorial ranks.

In her 27 years at �̾��Ƶ, Schenck has served as Professor of Comparative Literature, Associate Dean for Curriculum Development, Vice President for Academic Innovation, Vice President for Development and Grant Planning, Vice President of Academic Affairs, Dean of the University, and Provost.

As Chief Academic Officer of �̾��Ƶ, Schenck focused on curriculum development—leading a major review of general education, founding the first MA programs and fostering the ones subsequently developed—and accreditation. She also founded one of the consortia �̾��Ƶ belongs to and has managed �̾��Ƶ’s role in the other two. She also attended to the integration and development of technology and teaching at �̾��Ƶ, creating the first Academic Resource Center with all of its attendant activities. In tandem with each project, she raised substantial foundation funding for academic programs, technology and infrastructure. As President, she has been responsible for creating the University’s professional leadership team, developing a “residential life” program for incoming students, leading two strategic planning processes, developing innovative research centers, launching a five-year campus redevelopment plan which is nearing its completion with the purchase of a final building adjacent to the Combes building, and launching �̾��Ƶ’s first capital campaign for 26M euros, �̾��Ƶ Ascending, which is currently moving into its public phase.

Prior to coming to France, Schenck was an Associate Professor with tenure at Barnard College, where she held the Ann Whitney Olin Junior Chair for excellence in scholarship and teaching. While at Barnard, Schenck received several prestigious awards for her work in feminist literary studies and founded two important series, the Barnard New Women Poets Series, an annual poetry prize with public readings, and Reading Women Writing, an imprimatur of Cornell University Press in international feminist criticism. She is the author of four books, two on the literary subjects of the pastoral and women’s autobiography, and two with colleague Susan Perry on women, culture and development practices. She currently writes on issues of international education, the global liberal arts, and leadership.

Schenck holds a bachelor’s degree in English, summa cum laude, from Princeton University, and a PhD from Brown University in Comparative Literature.

Professor

Professor Picard arrived at �̾��Ƶ in the Fall of 2003 after obtaining her PhD from the University of Toronto and teaching at Western University (Canada) for 14 years.

She teaches and co-teaches courses in the French language and linguistics, literature and psychoanalysis (such as Entering Language: Becoming Human, Art, Women & Madness, Fairy Tales & Child Psychology, French Film & Fiction Now). She has recently founded a monthly joint Research & Teaching Interdisciplinary Seminar in French (FfIRE) with the Organisation international de la Francophonie to make the research of �̾��Ƶ’s scholars and researchers better known.
In her own research and publications, she knits together literary theory and reading theory (i.e. the acquisition of the symbolic function) through structuralist psychoanalysis that renews psychoanalytic literary criticism. Her observations of non-reading children at Sainte-Anne's Hospital in Paris have allowed her to investigate the complexities of “the letter” and its mastery. In her book Lire délire. Psychanalyse de la lecture (Erès, 2010) - published in English From Illiteracy To Literature; Psychoanalysis And Reading (Routlege, 2017) -, she surmises that there are psychological and epistemological commonalities between children learning how to read and creative writers struggling with the letter. Her corpus of study is mainly composed of XXth and XXIth Century French writers (Colette, Sartre, Duras, Cixous, Hébert, Redonnet, Houellebecq, Angot, Michon…).
One reviewer of her book states :

« Anne-Marie Picard sketches an indispensable (and hitherto lacking) general theory of reading. Bridging the gap between infantile dyslexia and high modernist literature, she offers us a Lacanian guide to the letter, or How To Read with psychoanalysis." (Jean-Michel Rabaté, Professor of English and Comparative Literature, U. of Pennsylvania). (More reviews here).

Professor Emeritus of Creative Writing

Mirror Visions Ensemble
Associate Writing Programs
Poetry Society of America
Academy of American Poets

Professor Greene has taught creative writing courses at The American University of Paris since 2007. Before becoming a fulltime resident in France to join his wife and family, Greene was a tenured associate professor at the University of New Haven and taught briefly in the Goddard Master of Fine Arts program. He received degrees from Goddard College (BA), The Iowa Writers Workshop (MFA), and the University of Houston (PhD). Greene is the author of five collections of poems, a memoir, three personalized nature books, and a cross-genre book in collaboration with painter Ralph Petty. A fourth nature book, 7 Music Forests, is forthcoming. His work has been supported by the National Endowment for the Arts, the Connecticut Commission on the Arts, the Rinehart Fund and Humanities Texas, and he received the Randall Jarrell Award, the "Discovery"/ The Nation Award, and Samuel French Morse Prize. His writing has appeared in many periodicals and anthologies, including the New Yorker, Poetry, The Nation, Ploughshares, Agni Review, and the American Scholar.

While Greene honed his writing skills as a poet, he discovered the pleasures of writing imaginative prose, both fiction and creative nonfiction. He writes and publishes in three genres, giving him flexibility as a creative writing teacher to provide cross-genre workshops and lead advanced creative writing projects in courses, directed studies, and theses.
