Course Information
Description
Through the lens of social justice issues in France and the Francophone world, this class will focus on language and civic engagement. We will interrogate topics such as colonialism, islamophobia, immigration, and sexism by studying a range of creative, analytical, and polemical texts and images. This course builds on the interpersonal, interpretive, and communicative skills acquired in French 40, with a particular emphasis on developing oral and written proficiency. In addition to creative and analytical projects ranging from a written portrait to a manifesto, you will also engage in volunteer work with local francophone communities* and intercultural conversation exchanges with Francophone language partners on Boomalang.co.
*The community engagement project will vary depending on availability during the semester.
