OSPPARIS 37: Paris, Maghrebi Capital City

This course explores the ways in which Paris can be seen as a cultural capital city of the Maghreb in the 20th and 21st centuries. It will center on the understanding of the place of the French capital city in the production of writers (including food writers), filmmakers, visual artists, architects, public intellectuals from Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia, and from the French citizens of the so-called 'second and third generations' of migrant parents from the Maghreb. We will examine foundational works while considering their engagement with the historical and political contexts in which they were produced, conveying the changing aspects of Parisian social landscape in the broader Francophone cultures of Paris (e.g. examining the dialogue with Francophone artists from Sub-Saharan Africa). The diverse topics discussed will include migration, colonialism and decolonization, political and social dissent, national and cultural identity, the politics of language, race and class, gender and more »

OSPPARIS 88P: Our Genomes - Vive la Difference!

The human genome carries the instructions for normal human development and reproduction. But it also carries predispositions to disease, and clues to our evolution, ancestry, and identity. The genome may also be pliable to environmental influences and genetic engineering. Through directed readings, activities and Paris field trips, students will learn about the human genome and applications of genome science and technology across diverse disciplines including medicine, comparative and evolutionary biology, paternity testing and forensics. A particular emphasis will be France's contributions to genome science, and uniquely French perspectives on the ethical, legal, and societal implications. The broad goal is to become informed and engaged about genome science and its impact on both the individual and society.

OSPPARIS 89P: A French scientific method?

Science is generally considered to be a universal subject, independent of national boundaries. However, a closer examination reveals historical distinctions, notably for specific features of scientific endeavors in France for which certain aspects persist to the present time. In particular, the Cartesian influence is readily contrasted to Anglo-Saxon empiricism. Exploring this topic will focus on key past discoveries (especially in genetics and epigenetics), the reception of scientific achievements by women, and insights obtained through the lens of Nobel Prizes. Contentious issues will be debated by students assuming opposing views.
