French Society: Sociological & Political Perspectives

Program Overview

This is a Summer 4-week program in Toulouse, France. Students will be enrolled in SOC 2320 Contemporary Social Issues and PSCI 3303 Civil Liberties.

Students will explore major contemporary social issues in France including problems related to immigration, crime and social control, the rise of the far right, work and the economy, youth and aging, and urban life.

A sociological perspective will be used to analyze these social issues and discuss how the problems are rooted in society rather than within individuals.
