Jeanne Kissner

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jeanne Kissner (1942 - 19 February 1999) was an American student of Quebec studies. She was president of the American Council for Quebec Studies from 1988 to 1990 and a member of the AATF executive board for four years. She was co-chairperson of the National Consortium for Teaching Canada from 1992 to 1996 and a founding member of the Association internationale d'etudes quebecoises in 1997.[1]

She was praised by Louise Beaudoin, Quebec Minister for International Affairs, for her contribution to Quebec studies who said "Par sa curiosite, sa conscience professionnelle, son sens de l'amitie, elle a contribue plus que quiconque a etendre la comprehension du Quebec."[1]

In 2000 she was the subject of a festschrift titled Women Writing in Quebec; Essays in Honor of Jeanne Kissner published by Plattsburgh State University.[2]
