Comparing USA & France
As two of the world’s most influential powers with shared histories pre-dating American independence, France and the United States have alternately been allies and antagonists. Comparing the U.S. and France examines the two countries’ mutual values, strategic alliances, policy choices and areas of conflict, while drawing upon both historical and present-day references.
In this course, we will investigate key themes based upon the following contemporary issues:
Immigration
Anti-terrorism and foreign policy
Environment and sustainability
Global health
Social justice, equity (racial, gender, etc.) and youth movements
Comparing the U.S. and France is structured with both scheduled synchronous and asynchronous learning each week. We will combine whole group, small group and individual projects and assignments.
The class is conducted entirely in French. ACTFL proficiency prerequisite: Advanced High.
