Description

CALENDAR DESCRIPTION:

An in-depth study of a selection of French and/or Francophone films. The approach chosen by the course instructor may be thematic, by genre, author, region, or focus on a specific theoretical perspective.

COURSE DETAILS:

Dans ce séminaire, nous travaillerons sur les représentations croisées du genre, de la race, et de la religion, dans une série de films francophones et à travers une série de lectures.

Nous choisirons une approche intersectionnelle, suivant la définition suivante (extraite du site de la Commission ontarienne des droits de la personne) :

« intersectionnel » a été défini comme désignant une « oppression intersectionnelle issue de la combinaison de diverses oppressions qui, ensemble, produisent quelque chose d’unique et de différent de toute forme de discrimination individuelle[6] …» L’approche intersectionnelle tient compte du contexte historique, social et politique, et reconnaît le caractère unique de l’expérience vécue en conséquence de l’intersection de tous les motifs pertinents[7]. Elle permet de reconnaître l’expérience particulière de discrimination due à la confluence des motifs en cause et d’y remédier.[1]

Registrar Notes:

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: YOUR WORK, YOUR SUCCESS

SFU’s Academic Integrity website 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

RELIGIOUS ACCOMMODATION

Students with a faith background who may need accommodations during the term are encouraged to assess their needs as soon as possible and review the Multifaith religious accommodations website. The page outlines ways they begin working toward an accommodation and ensure solutions can be reached in a timely fashion.
