Description

CALENDAR DESCRIPTION:

Social, cultural, intellectual, economic, and political aspects of the French and Francophone presence in the Americas, from the colonial era to the present.

COURSE DETAILS:

Que veut-il dire d’être francophone en Amérique? Des débuts de la colonisation française à aujourd’hui, ce cours tracera l’histoire de la présence francophone sur le continent américain. Nous examinerons l’installation des premières colonies françaises sur des terres autochtones, leur éparpillement à travers le territoire, le développement de cultures francophones distinctes, l’émergence de différentes formes de nationalismes et les défis liés au maintien et au fleurissement de la langue française dans la période contemporaine.  Berceau de la francophonie américaine, le Québec sera au cœur de nos explorations du fait français en Amérique, mais nous voyagerons à travers le continent, et bien sûr ici en Colombie-Britannique, pour découvrir les nombreux enracinements de ce groupe linguistique aussi diversifié que fascinant.

Veuillez noter qu’il s’agit ici d’un plan préliminaire. Le contenu du cours peut varier et un plan définitif sera distribué sur Canvas au début de la session.

Registrar Notes:

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: YOUR WORK, YOUR SUCCESS

SFU’s Academic Integrity web site http://www.sfu.ca/students/academicintegrity.html is filled with information on what is meant by academic dishonesty, where you can find resources to help with your studies and the consequences of cheating.  Check out the site for more information and videos that help explain the issues in plain English.

Each student is responsible for his or her conduct as it affects the University community.  Academic dishonesty, in whatever form, is ultimately destructive of the values of the University. Furthermore, it is unfair and discouraging to the majority of students who pursue their studies honestly. Scholarly integrity is required of all members of the University. http://www.sfu.ca/policies/gazette/student/s10-01.html

TEACHING AT SFU IN SPRING 2022

Teaching at SFU in spring 2022 will involve primarily in-person instruction, with safety plans in place.  Some courses will still be offered through remote methods, and if so, this will be clearly identified in the schedule of classes.  You will also know at enrollment whether remote course components will be “live” (synchronous) or at your own pace (asynchronous).

Enrolling in a course acknowledges that you are able to attend in whatever format is required.  You should not enroll in a course that is in-person if you are not able to return to campus, and should be aware that remote study may entail different modes of learning, interaction with your instructor, and ways of getting feedback on your work than may be the case for in-person classes.

Students with hidden or visible disabilities who may need class or exam accommodations, including in the context of remote learning, are advised to register with the SFU Centre for Accessible Learning (caladmin@sfu.ca or 778-782-3112) as early as possible in order to prepare for the spring 2022 term.
