法文研究和法语哲学博士

联合博士学位 法语研究和法语专业课程是为有兴趣在与他们的社会，文化和政治背景紧密相关的文学文本的历史和分析研究方面发展兴趣的学生而设计的。它为学生提供了在法文各系教授文学和文明课程的准备，并为他们提供了融合两者的学术专长。该联合计划将文学分析方面的强大培训与历史学家和社会科学家提供的对法文，欧洲和法语国家的研究进行大量接触。申请该计划的学生应具有法文文学，历史和社会科学背景。该课程涵盖了自法文大革命以来的法文政治，社会，文化和文学，尽管学生在这段时间内发展了较窄的研究专业。
As a multidisciplinary program, the Institute of French Studies offers two Joint Ph.D. degrees: one in French Studies and French Literature, and the other in French Studies and History. These degree programs combine interdisciplinary work on contemporary France, Europe, and the French-influenced world with professional training in either French or history.Unlike a typical Ph.D. in French, the IFS joint program enables students to complement their work in literature and literary theory with courses in history, art history, sociology and other disciplines so that they can connect their literary work to key issues in history, society, and culture.Similarly, the joint Ph.D. in history and French studies permits students to pursue doctoral study in European history while enriching their specialized work on the history of France and its empire or former empire with coursework in sociology, politics, anthropology, and other fields.By combining strong disciplinary training in French or history with interdisciplinary work in allied fields, our students develop the knowledge and tools to write dissertations that often stand out from those prepared by candidates without the benefit of interdisciplinary work. Our students also profit from the Institute's long-established ties to France's top institutions of higher learning: the Ecole normale superieure, Sciences-Po, the Ecole des hautes etudes en sciences sociales, and the University of Paris. Professors from these schools teach as visitors at the IFS and then welcome our students to their classes in France, where IFS doctoral candidates make important intellectual connections to their French counterparts.
