The Department of French and Francophone Studies at Macalester College aligns with the institution's commitment to internationalism and multiculturalism. It prepares students in French language, cultures, literatures, visual representations, and critical thinking, providing language competencies for non-French majors and offering courses in diverse disciplinary areas related to France and the francophone world. Actively collaborating with various programs, the department enhances interdisciplinary perspectives, contributing to fields such as Media and Cultural Studies, Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, and International Studies.
Bonjour chers et chères étudiant·e·s, alumni, parents et ami·e·s du département!
This year, we have a direct appeal to all of you to help fund one of our new initiatives. As we continue to offer courses in French language and Francophone film, culture, history, art, and literature, one of our new interests is to create more opportunities for students to engage in community-based projects. Your donation will enable us to fund these new activities for our courses. Merci beaucoup pour votre soutien!
