Migration, Diversity, Diaspora: Francophone Community-Engagement

This course explores displacements, identities, and representations of francophone populations around the globe. We will address key issues, challenges, and opportunities linked to resettlement, such as the relationship between language and identity, transnationalism, multilingualism, and language maintenance of French-speaking communities, particularly those living in the US and the New Jersey area. Students will also collaborate with a community partner that helps francophone immigrants recently arrived in the USA - and critically reflect on the partnership and their experiences.
