Lyon, France: Global Seminar
This is an intensive 3-week course in Lyon that takes students outside of the classroom to engage in the course material in a real-world setting. Offered in French, this course explores the vibrant literary culture of Lyon, through visits, museums and documents such as essay, novels, comics and movies. This course will expose students to the many sides of Lyon capital (gastronomy, biodiversity, industry, ideology, literary) and of Lyon heritage in order to answer the question: What made and makes Lyon a literary vibrant topic across the ages? French author and Lyon expert Paul Fournel will lead the creative writing workshop embedded in this course.
