Catalog description

Paris offers students and faculty alike an astonishing array of resources and possibilities for pursuing intellectual projects of all kinds. The city’s many archives, libraries, museums, and media outlets, to say nothing of its neighborhoods and inhabitants, have long made Paris a special place to do research. This summer course is structured to guide and support students as they carry out their own individually-designed project during a period of residence in the city. This course is also a group experience in which students respond to one another’s work, visit sites of special interest to researchers, explore questions of method, argumentation, and style.
