The French Studies Program
Thanks to the generosity and the support of the Cultural Service of the French Embassy in Washington, and the Institute of European Studies, the French Studies Program has been established at the University of California, Berkeley.
The program organizes lectures scholarly visits, and conferences (see
our calendar) involving France and the
French tradition(s) across the disciplines of the Humanities and
the Social Sciences.
In addition to the French
Department, Berkeley has significant concentrations of faculty engaged in work on France in the departments of History,
History of Art,
Music,
Comparative Literature,
Anthropology,
and Political Science.
These scholars continue a long and distinguished Berkeley tradition
of interdisciplinary study of things French. They provide an important
pedagogical and scholarly resource at both the graduate and the
undergraduate levels, for students working on France and Francophonie
Beyond the UC Berkeley
campus, the French Studies Program helps coordinate programs
and activities for faculty and graduate students and for members
of the Bay Area community committed to the investigation of French
society, culture, literature, science, and the arts.
