FFS 392 - Exile, Migration and Community Semester Offered: Spring 0.5 unit(s) This half-unit intensive focuses on skills in French for immigration justice in New York and in the Hudson Valley. Working with community partners, students listen to and learn about experiences of exile, migration, immigration, forced displacement and asylum for French speakers in the US and around the world. They also engage in independent work such as: creating resources, doing research, translating, interpreting, fundraising, conducting outreach, etc. In addition to community engagement, we invite guest speakers to address topics such as legal aid, organizing, and resettlement both locally and in other French-speaking communities. How can we use our French to get involved in our local community? What can we learn from other organizations or initiatives who are already engaging in meaningful and impactful work? Students keep a journal and present their independent work in a final presentation. Anne Brancky.
Two hours every other week.
