About the instructor:
Danièle Archambault is a linguist and a cartoonist. She grew up in Montréal, Québec. A tenured professor in the linguistics department at the University of Montreal until 1998, she now lives in Palo Alto. She is a consultant in speech technology and a specialist in Quebec French. Her series Stairway Stories is a collection of three full-color graphic novels. The books feature two Frenchspeaking children, Doudou and Danny, growing up in Montreal in the late 1950s. The stories, as well as the drawings, document with emotion and humor the culture and the French dialect spoken in Quebec. The three graphic novels, In the Montreal of my childhood, On the way to school, and The Age of Reason are bilingual (French and English) flip-over books with the last two featuring a glossary explaining the vocabulary and idiomatic expressions used in the book.
