Dr Althea Arguelles-Ling
I received my Ph.D. in 2003 from the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, Re- membering French Women Playwrights in Eighteenth-century Theater (Carol Sherman, Director). I have published on French drama and currently manage a website of summaries on 17th-and 18th-century French plays authored by women. In 2015 I received a Bachelor of Design in Architecture, University of Sydney. My current scope of research focuses on literature and architecture, having just submitted an article on Marcel Proust and architecture, and another on the column as real or sign. I am currently researching the space of the eighteenth-century salon in relation to the salonnières.
- Literature and Architecture - 1) Marcel Proust and Architecture: bedrooms and cathedrals; 2)Salonnières and the space of the Salon
- Eighteenth-Century French Women-Writers (Database on Play Summaries)

For many years I taught French literature and language (first to third year levels) at the University of Illinois Chicago, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and at the University of Sydney.
