The Department of French and Italian at Emory University (Atlanta, GA) offers a graduate program in French with a strong critical, cultural, and interdisciplinary orientation. In addition to their respective specialties in French and Francophone literature, faculty members pursue research in related disciplines such as philosophy, aesthetics, psychoanalysis, rhetoric, film studies, health humanities, and post-colonial studies.
Through inter-departmental cooperation with programs in Comparative Literature, Philosophy, Women’s Studies and Film Studies, students are encouraged to incorporate an interdisciplinary focus into their course work and dissertation. Moreover, the Laney Graduate School offers Graduate Certificates in English, Film Studies, Bioethics, Comparative Literature, Jewish Studies, Medieval Studies, Psychoanalytic Studies, Women’s, Gender, and Sexualities Studies, Digital Scholarship and Media Studies, which students can pair with their Ph.D. in French in order to formally enhance their interdisciplinary profile. More information is available at: http://www.gs.emory.edu/academics/graduate_certificates.html
All students admitted to the program receive a generous five-year funding package (tuition plus stipend), and supplemental funds for conference travel and professional development; as part of that package students typically teach five courses. To enrich student’s experience, Emory has recently established a graduate exchange program with Université Paul-Valéry, Montpellier III.
