Her past publications include journal articles on these subjects as well as three other textbooks for the French classroom. As a teacher and a scholar, Professor Dolidon enjoys students' and readers' curiosity, critical thinking, and challenging questions--she also enjoys not having all the answers. Life is learning: if you knew everything, what would be the point? That's where science fiction comes in; no answers but a lot of questions to discuss, debate, and explore together or alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSermet, Tessa:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTessa Sermet\u003c\/b\u003e is an assistant professor at Lake Forest College in Illinois.
