French

This course explores the difference between the language of literature and the language of general communication. The course examines these topics by conducting close textual analyses from 17th to 20th century literary samples of poetry, novels, and theater.

This course is for absolute beginners. The course introduces students to the fundamentals of French grammar, reading, and writing while developing some basic communicative skills. The course teaches students simple structures, lexis and phrases which enable them to communicate in a limited number of common everyday situations in French-speaking countries. 

This course covers grammatical analysis in syntagmatic categories (analysis of grammatical constituents, syntax trees) and the grammar of words. This course is a systematic study of their categories and functions.

This course exposes students to public and scientific debates pertaining to colonial past, and the gender studies, research methods, and writing of contemporary history. It explores these concepts through several lenses over three parts of the course: historical approaches to the colonial past, the use of gender studies, and the new history of colonial wars. Each theme includes an introduction to the field of research, discussions and presentations based on readings, and scientific articles and archives.

This general sociology course systematically integrates gender studies to revisit the important questions of this discipline. The course examines themes of family, school, work, politics, health, and sexuality through the lens of gender while integrating a certain number of fundamental theories. It discusses gender sociology texts based on concepts examined during the lectures, considers the relationship between public policies and contemporary debates, and develops axes on which to read the social world through the prism of gender: paying attention to gender inequalities in their different constructions and how gender is integrated into different categories of thought.
