Program Description

FREN 353 or MLAN 371 Both are Areas of Inquiry for Global and Multicultural Perspectives

FREN 353 recommends FREN 202 for pre-requisite.

This course is an introduction to contemporary francophone African culture and society taught on site in Cameroon and Senegal. Located in central Africa, both countries represent several cultural regions and cultures (West, Central, and North). They are also known for their colonial heritage and religious pluralism. They offer an ideal platform to study the continent’s society, cultures, politics, and history. Drawing from multidisciplinary sources, this course will focus on the myths about Africa and will address how colonial and postcolonial conditions have constructed those them. With on-site classes, students will challenge those myths, and learn the reality behind them.
