Description

This course will explore some of the major contributions that France and the Francophone world have made to world culture, such as the arts, sciences, and literature, from the eve of the French Revolution to present day. Students will read and interpret texts from primary sources, especially literature. The course will feature the women and men who have had significant impact on society, in the context of the times in which they lived. It will also focus on diversity and social justice, especially in the struggles of the Francophone world, from colonization to independence. Students will participate actively through discussion, research, and presentations in French, thus bringing their language skills to the next higher level. The course is open to students with language skills on the intermediate level and higher.
