Roland Koku Gamia, Ph.D. student in French and Francophone World Studies, is featured in the OPVR’s Dare to Discover banner campaign!

Roland Koku Gamia’s research examines the representation of women in Sub-Saharan African novels in French from 1950s-60s in order to demonstrate the existence of an early feminism in the works of authors such as Ferdinand Oyono, Sembène Ousmane, Seydou Badian, Guillaume Oyônô Mbia and Ahmadou Kourouma.
