Barker Fellow - Epiphany 2027

Marie Raulier

Marie Raulier

Marie Raulier is a Barker Fellow working with Richard Scholar on the ‘Imagining Alternatives : Utopia in the World’ project as part of the Inventing Futures Programme at the Institute for Medieval and Early Modern Studies (IMEMS). During her fellowship at Durham, she will examine representations of Amazons in eighteenth-century French theatre, investigating how these figures contributed to debates about gender, political authority, and utopian visions of society.

She is currently an Early Career Lecturer in Early Modern French Literature at St John’s College, University of Oxford. She holds a PhD in French Literature from McGill University. Her first book, based on her doctoral research and forthcoming with Droz (2026), examines the development of French horsemanship manuals and the ethical, technical, and relational forms of knowledge associated with horse and rider. Her current research explores representations of the Amazons in early modern discourse.
