2013-2014

 

50-minute colloquium: Dr. Marc Olivier in the French Studies program has always found interesting ways of making centuries-old material relevant to 21st-century students. Last semester his students re-wrote sections of Dangerous Liaisons as a series of tweets (140-character mass text messages). This experience required students to ‘translate’ their understanding of the text to another medium. MA student Kristen Ballieu will present data she gathered from the project, and Dr. Gideon Burton of the English Department will act as discussant.” Sep. 24th at 3:00 in JFSB B104
