Dr. Mattie Fitch\u2019s<\/a> research focuses on the ways that people in France in the period between the First and Second World Wars attempted to shape their communities. She investigates how they incorporated multiple identities, such as those defined by class, ideology, region, and religion, into their beliefs about the French nation. Her current work investigates the antifascist cultural movement that arose in France during the 1930s as the threat of fascism loomed across Europe. It illuminates the ways individuals and groups used cultural practices, such as music, theater, and art, to construct their understandings of themselves and their world.<\/p>\n
