About
André Lamontagne joined UBC in 1989 after completing a doctoral thesis on the poetics of intertextuality in the works of Hubert Aquin and Jorge Luis Borges. He has published on Quebecois literature, postmodern fiction, and literary theory. As a creative writer, he is the author of a collection of short stories and of two novels. He is the cofounder of a francophone publishing house in British Columbia, les Éditions de l’Épaulard.
He was Head of FHIS, the first Director of the Centre de la francophonie de UBC, and was also involved in community outreach as vice-president of the Fédération des francophones de la Colombie-Britannique and a founding member of the Société historique francophone de la Colombie-Britannique.
André Lamontagne was awarded the Sovereign Medal by the Governor General for his promotion of French language in Canada, and made Chevalier dans l’Ordre des palmes académiques by the French Government for his contribution to Francophone education and culture.
