French and Francophone Studies 335: Migrations

We will explore migration in the Francophone world from multiple angles—historical, political, social, and economic—with particular attention to personal accounts and creative works. Who migrates, for what reasons, and with what results? What role does the French language play in these movements? Students will develop and refine advanced language skills through the critical exploration of text and media content. Coursework will include structured language exercises, frequent short writing assignments, active participation, and a final project. Three class meetings per week plus one half-hour conversation session with a French Language Assistant. Conducted in French. Distribution areas: Cultural Pluralism, Humanities, Global Cultures and Languages, Power and Equity, Studying the Past.
