Fredette’s Book Named to University of Pacific Summer Reading List

Dr. Jennifer Fredette

Dr. Jennifer Fredette’s book Constructing Muslims in France: Discourse, Public Identity, and the Politics of Citizenship is one of five books named “Summer Reading Titles by University of Pacific Authors.”

Fredette, Assistant Professor of Public Law at Ohio University, earned a Ph.D. from the University of Washington, an M.A. in Political Science from the University of Washington, and a B.A. in French and Political Science from the University of the Pacific.

“In her first book, Fredette, an alumna who earned her undergraduate degree in French and political science at Pacific in 2004, examines the arguments by some French elites that Muslims are ‘failed or somehow incomplete French citizens’ and the consequences of such views for Muslims in France. Fredette is now an assistant professor of public law at Ohio University,” says the University of the Pacific story.
