ADEFFI-ASMCF Sources & Methodologies Series

February–June 2023

All sessions will run 5:30pm–6:30pm

Registrations are now open for the ADEFFI-ASMCF Sources & Methologies Series! This training series has been jointly organised by the Association for the Study of Modern and Contemporary France and the Association des études françaises et francophones d'Irlande.

This series focuses on the variety of sources and approaches that constitute the vast field of French Studies. While sources are our point of departure for interpretations and debates, their nature, their origins, their languages, and their trajectories constitute main challenges and limits that researchers have to grapple with. It speaks to the interdisciplinary nature of our field and may be of particular interest to PhDs; please feel free to share with those who may be interested.  

The programme is as follows. Please click here to sign up for sessions.
