Paris: empire + colony  | diasporas + assemblies

The vibrancy and diversity of the city of Paris is a microcosm of France and its overseas departments and territories (DOM TOM). The peoples, lands and resources of the DOM TOM remain entangled with France as vestiges of former colonies, as do now-independent formerly colonies such as Algeria and Senegal. These regions have all provided France with a wealth of resources, materials, and cultural practices that are inseparable from what constitutes France and French culture today. However, while the world has long celebrated French culture, from cuisine to couture, art, architecture and public spaces of assembly, rarely do we interrogate from where they originate and how they came to be, nor do we question these from both aesthetic and ethical perspectives—particularly vis-à-vis colony.

This six-credit summer program dives deeply into these burning and timely questions.

CAPLA Abroad - France is open to students of all majors and minors who have completed the third year of their undergraduate program or are enrolled in a graduate program. CAPLA, BA DAP, and Applied Humanities are particularly encouraged to apply and will receive preferred acceptance to this program.
