Catherine Benoit’s research and teaching result from influences of multiple national and disciplinary intellectual traditions. She received her undergraduate and graduate training in France in comparative literature, archaeology, and cultural and social anthropology. After receiving a doctorate in anthropology from L’Ecole des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, she continued her graduate education with a two year post-doctoral fellowship at the University of California at Berkeley. Two recent residencies at Dumbarton Oaks (Harvard University), and one at Yale University’s Gilder Lerhman Center for the Study of Slavery, Resistance, and Abolition have afforded her opportunities to engage in discussion with scholars of different national and disciplinary traditions. Benoit's teaching at Université de Poitiers, Université de Nanterre, and L’Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales in France, at the Université des Antilles-Guyane in Guadeloupe, at the Université de la Réunion in the islands of the Indian Ocean, and since 2001 at Connecticut College, reflects her fluency in diverse intellectual traditions as well as the ability to educate diverse audiences. Benoit’s training in multiple disciplines and engagement with international discourse constantly inform both her scholarship and her teaching. Benoit's recent publications include:
