University of Arizona Grad Conference

The French & Italian Department at the University of Arizona is delighted to organize the 3rd edition of its graduate conference to which all MA and doctoral students in French are invited to participate so that they may virtually attend two plenaries (Dr. Hamel and Dr. Jean-Charles), give a talk and participate in live round-tables with fellow students and professors.

This conference mirrors our MA programmes. We thus look forward to receiving abstracts addressing one or more of the following strands:

  • theoretical and applied linguistics

  • first, second language acquisition

  • teaching French as a second/foreign language

  • digital technologies and pedagogy

  • French and Francophone literature, culture and civilization

  • French and Francophone cinema

  • Women’s studies, queer studies and sexuality

  • French/Francophone art, art history

  • Le français inclusif, le français neutre

Format: The pre-recorded Powerpoint presentations of accepted submissions will be available from March 14 to March 26. Then, on March 26, participants will be able to attend two plenaries followed by an interactive session with the speakers as well as participate in live roundtables with other presenters and participants around the conference strands.
