Agenda:
8:30-9:00 registration and continental breakfast
9am -11am, Regarde les lumières mon amour, by Annie Ernaux.
We will have a book discussion. I will present some visuals, documents, and discussion questions I use in my French literature and history classes. We will brainstorm on how to integrate the text and/or the themes you find appropriate (for example: the evolution of the French consumer’s society, contemporary aspects of “l’écriture du moi”) in your courses (whether you teach mainly literature, culture, or history).
11am-noon Chris Bonner, Visiting Assistant Professor of French and Comparative Literary and Cultural Studies: « Enseigner la Négritude »
Cette intervention sera une introduction au mouvement poétique de la Négritude, se focalisant sur le poète martiniquais Aimé Césaire et le poète guyanais Léon-Gontran Damas. On parlera ensemble de différentes façons d’incorporer la poésie noire dans les cours de français au niveau secondaire. On parlera aussi de cette poésie comme ressource pédagogique pour pouvoir parler avec vos étudiants de la race, de l’histoire du colonialisme français, et de la diversité culturelle du monde francophone.
12–1pm Lunch
1pm -2pm Sarah Wood, Visiting Assistant Professor of French: « La France d’Outre-Mer: de nouvelles frontières dans les cours de français »
Après une introduction sur la création et l’histoire contemporaine des départements d’Outre-Mer français, cette communication se concentra plus spécifiquement sur la Guyane, région et département français en Amérique du Sud, pour montrer l’importance de considérer les 'DOM' comme partie intégrale de la France contemporaine, et de les intégrer dans les cours de français. Ce faisant, elle suggèrera des pistes et des activités pour faire connaître « la France d’Outre-Mer » aux étudiants.

UConn Early College Experience (ECE) is a concurrent enrollment program that allows motivated high school students to take UConn courses at their high schools for both high school and college credit. Every course taken through UConn ECE is equivalent to the same course at the University of Connecticut. Students benefit by taking college courses in a setting that is both familiar and conducive to learning.
High school instructors who have been certified through the University of Connecticut teach UConn ECE courses.
Established in 1955, UConn Early College Experience is the nation's longest running concurrent enrollment program and is nationally accredited by The National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships (NACEP).
