Winthrop-King Institute for Contemporary French and Francophone Studies

The Winthrop-King Institute for Contemporary French and Francophone Studies was created as a result of a generous bequest from the late Mrs. Ada Belle Winthrop-King. It is a center for interdisciplinary scholarship focusing on developments in France and the wider French-speaking world dating approximately from the French Revolution to the present, with a particular emphasis on contemporary issues. The institute supports undergraduate and graduate courses dealing with various aspects of francophone culture, organizes lecture series by outstanding scholars from a variety of fields and hosts conferences on contemporary cultural and social issues. Through its courses, conferences and research, the institute seeks to address intellectual and social developments throughout the francophone world, whether in literature, philosophy, art, history, popular culture, history, political science, etc. To this end, the institute encourages the participation of faculty and students from a variety of academic disciplines. All courses associated with the institute can be taken for credit toward their degree by French majors, minors and graduate students. Courses with French and francophone dimensions taught by colleagues outside of the French faculty are cross-listed to provide credit either in French or in the related field.
