Post/Colonial Issues in French and Spanish (C032)
GEC Coordinator: Kirk Read
The French and Spanish empires left linguistic, cultural, and sociopolitical legacies throughout the world. Colonial territories and postcolonial nations have responded to colonial power structures through self-inquiry and contestation. The courses included in this concentration approach colonial and postcolonial issues in French and Spanish through various critical perspectives. The concentration requires intermediate proficiency in both French and Spanish.
Complete four credits designated with the (C032) GEC attribute, at least one of which must be from French and at least one of which must be from Hispanic Studies. Students are expected to have at least an intermediate level of proficiency in both languages. An approved co-curricular project may substitute for one credit or two non-Bates credits may be applied toward this concentration if judged comparable to one of those below by the concentration coordinator and with prior approval. This concentration is not open to students who have declared a major or minor in French or Hispanic Studies.
