Emilie Mitran
Emilie Mitran is a historian specializing in American history and transatlantic intellectual exchanges. She is a faculty member at the University of Toulon in France and holds a Ph.D. in American History from Aix-Marseille University.
Her research focuses on the reception of the French Revolution in the United States, exploring diplomatic, cultural, and ideological relations between the two nations. Her dissertation, Gouverneur Morris, traducteur de la Révolution française, examined the intersections of diplomacy and cultural translation, highlighting the complexities of republicanism as a universal language of liberty and self-governance.
This work led to the publication of her first book, Les Perséides (Rennes, 2022). Her second book, Une Relation révolutionnaire: des Américains à Paris (1776-1793), will be published by Nouveau Monde Éditions in the fall of 2025.
