Exploring the streets of Paris offers a fascinating journey through time, revealing not only the city's history but also the essence of France itself. With its grand palaces, renowned museums, and iconic monuments, Paris presents endless opportunities for exploration. But this course isn't your typical tour - it's a thoughtful exploration guided by the remarkable women who shaped the city in the 20th century. Imagine three insightful walks, each revealing a different aspect of Parisian womanhood. First, we'll explore the lives of resilient mothers navigating the tumultuous inter-war period. Next, we'll shine a spotlight on the daring women of La Sorbonne - be they students, elusive professors, or valiant members of the Resistance.

Prepare to see Paris from a new perspective as we uncover the stories and legacies of these remarkable women. It's time to infuse your urban exploration with a dash of gendered history. So, join us as we uncover the untold stories and fierce legacies of Parisian women who left an indelible imprint on the city's vibrant tapestry.

France has been one of the world's great innovators in introducing new political ideas, often born out of economic or social crises, that have driven not only its own economic and political development but have also influenced institutions around the world. From the trauma of the Great Revolution to the modern emergence of the Extreme Right, the experience of France has much to teach us: not only about how societies develop economically, and how to manage the political polarization and conflict that can often result, but also the role of new ideas in shaping the institutions of nations. In this course, we will study the latest ideas in Political Economics and Historical Political Economy in light of ideas and examples that draw from the French experience in comparative perspective. Each week we will pair a core concept in political economics with a detailed study of how the methods of social science history can shed new light on a particular crisis or episode in France¿s development. The aim will be to understand what lessons we might draw for reducing political polarization and conflict not only in France but around the world.

This innovative class offers two perspectives on sustainability: first, it pairs ecological economics with environmental humanities to allow for an interdisciplinary approach of sustainability's challenges; second, it offers a practical perspective on sustainability focused on the city of Paris to apply analytical insights on the ground and convert theory into sustainable practices. The course aims at equipping students with sustainability analytical toolbox from an ecological economics and environmental humanities perspectives: students will learn the fundamental of sustainability economics as well as put them in perspective with the help of philosophy, literature and art.
