Historical allies, yet rivals in trade; partners in intellectual exchange, yet baffled by each other’s culture: in this course we will examine core elements of the relationship between France & the US through the lens of diplomacy, commerce, language, food, cinema, the arts, friendship, feminism, parenting, ethnicity, health, climate change, and social justice. Students will develop and exercise critical thinking habits while working toward the learning outcome of a deeper cross-cultural understanding of France and the US. In the bigger picture, interactions between the two countries will be considered as a significant model of international relations. Course is taught in English.
