Dr. Sarah Gendron
Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures
Dr. Gendron has been at Marquette for nearly three years. She is originally from Massachusetts, but she has studied and worked in Wisconsin for almost 20 years, so now she thinks of it as home. She teaches French and French literature, and specializes in 20th century French literature and literary theory. As a former 16 year-old high school drop-out, she knows what it means to have questions about what direction life might take. She has come to appreciate that education is not about "the grade", but about asking yourself the right questions. Her extra-curricular loves include: traveling (anywhere, anytime), watching movies (but not without popcorn), running (in all weather), being with her adventurous husband, and playing with her sometimes hostile, but always cute, dachshunds, "Jiminy (the) Cricket" and "Maxwell (the) House."
