The DLCL Research Unit is co-sponsoring the long-running French Culture Workshop, which continues its work in 2006-07 under the auspices of the Stanford Humanities Center.

The French Culture Workshop began at the Stanford Humanities Center in the fall of 1998 and has earned a national reputation as a forum for the exchange of ideas on all aspects of modern French society. From its inception, the topic of the workshop has been broadly defined in order to bring together participants from many different disciplines, including French literature, History, Comparative Literature, and Art History. The workshop has focused on a wide array of subjects relevant to French culture and society in the modern period, defined roughly from 1700 to the present, placing particular emphasis on topics related to the research of current graduate students, such as political and intellectual history, imperialism and colonialism, gender and women, nationalism and national identity, immigration and minorities, and francophonie. By bringing together scholars from the Stanford campus and the Bay Area as a whole, the workshop provides a venue for mentorship and intellectual exchange in a free and sociable environment.
