When applying for jobs and grants in academia your CV makes your first
impression on potential employers and reviewing agencies. Also, this is
likely the first document most people will download from your webpage.
In this workshop, we will look at some common templates and discuss CV
formatting in LaTeX. Please bring your laptop.

* Montgomery Fellow lunch with upcoming writer *
Come enjoy lunch at the Montgomery House with a new up and coming writer,
Edouard Louis.
Biography
Édouard Louis, born Eddy Bellegueule[1] was born and raised in the town
of Hallencourt in the North of France, which is the setting of his first
novel En finir avec Eddy Bellegueule.
Louis grew-up in a poor family supported by government welfare: his
father was an unemployed factory worker and his mother found occasional
work bathing the elderly.[3] The poverty, racism and alcoholism which
confronted him during his childhood would become the subject of his
literary work.[4]
He is the first in his family to attend university, and in 2011 he was
admitted to École Normale Supérieure in Paris.[5] In 2013, he
officially changed his name to Édouard Louis.[6]
The same year, he edited the collective work, Pierre Bour- dieu.
L'insoumission en héritage, which analyses the influ- ence of Pierre
Bourdieu on critical thinking and political emancipation.[7]
In 2014 he published En finir avec Eddy Bellegueule, an autobiographical
novel. The book was the subject of extensive media attention and was
hailed for its literary merit and compelling story. The book also gave
rise to de- bate and controversy over the perception of the working
class.[8] It was a bestseller in France and has been trans- lated to
over 20 languages.[9][10]
In September of 2015, Edouard Louis penned a Man- ifesto for an
Intellectual and Political Counteroffensive alongside philosopher
Geoffroy de Lagasnerie.[11] In the letter, which ran on the front page
of Le Monde, and was later reprinted in English by the Los Angeles
Review of Books, Louis and Lagasnerie denounce the legitimization of
right-wing agendas in public discourse and establish principals by which
leftist intellectuals should reengage in public debate.[12] [13]
In 2016, Louis published his second novel, History of Vio- lence.[14] In
recounting the story of his rape and attempted murder on Christmas Eve
of 2012, the autobiographical novel centers around the cyclical and
self-perpetuating nature of violence in society.[15][16]
2 Style and Influences
The work of Édouard Louis maintains a fine link with sociology: the
presence of Pierre Bourdieu pervades his novels which invoke the themes
of social exclusion, domination, and poverty.[17] The influence of
William Faulkner is also revealed through Louis’ superposition in the
same sentence of various levels of language – placing the popular
vernacular at the heart of his writing.[18] Fur- thermore, Louis’ novel
Histoire de la Violence contains an essay on Faulker’s novel Sanctuary.
The author says that by working languages, he wants to use violence as a
lit- erary subject, “I want to make violence a literary space, like
Marguerite Duras made a literary space of madness or as Claude Simon
made war into a literary space.”[19]
The greatest contemporary influence on Louis comes from French
sociologist Didier Eribon, whose book “Returning to Reims” Louis says, “marked
a turning point for his future as a writer.”[20]
