Dissertations in Progress

446 FRENCH REVIEW 84.2 DEPARTMENTS DISSERTATIONS IN PROGRESS Compiled and Edited by Madeline Turan This is the forty-seventh annual listing of doctoral dissertations from graduate programs in North America. It should be considered a supplement of preceding lists. Defended dissertations are listed as a separate section, after the “Dissertations in Progress” list. A listing of those dissertations that have been abandoned is located at the end of this document. With the exception of abandoned dissertations, the dissertation titles are listed alphabetically under “Cultural Studies”, “Film Studies”, “Linguistics”, “Pedagogy”, or “Literature”. Literature dissertations are arranged by century and author or are listed under “General”. There is also a separate section for Francophone authors and topics. In each entry, the name of the dissertation director and that of the institution are given in parentheses. Titles are numbered consecutively within each section. Title changes are indicated at the end of each section, showing the number of the dissertation as it was previously listed, followed by the new title. It should be noted that, in general, the information was compiled exactly as it was submitted by each institution. We regret that titles from a few schools were not received in time for publication.
