Jeffrey Leichman is Associate Professor of French Studies at Louisiana State University. His first book Acting Up: Staging the Subject in Enlightenment France (Bucknell, 2016), looks at the relationship between acting theory and subjectivity in ancien régime France. He is currently co-Principal Investigator on the VESPACE project, supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities. This project, which brings together researchers in French literature, theatre history, computer science, and architectural restoration, seeks to re-create the visual, acoustical, and social environments of the Paris Fairground theatre in a virtual-reality video game. Professor Leichman has previously taught at Sarah Lawrence College and the University of California at Irvine; he received his PhD in French literature from Yale University.
