法语哲学博士

法语的约翰霍普金斯大学博士课程侧重于研究，论证和写作，因此对思想独立的学生特别有吸引力。经过为期两年的密集研讨会工作，录取博士学位的依据是论文招募说明书（ABD）的准备和答辩，而不是基于全面的考试。这种模式使学生能够充分理解法语学习的重要时期，并发展批评的工具。这些范围从文学史和诗学到哲学，科学史，文化理论，史学，基因批评和电影美学。
The Johns Hopkins PhD program in French has a long and distinguished history, having played a leading role in embracing and disseminating critical approaches and methodological innovations. The program focuses on research, argumentation, and writing, and is therefore especially attractive to independent-minded students. The first two years of study are devoted to intensive seminar work and culminate in a portfolio of twelve or more research papers. Rather than on comprehensive exams, admission to the PhD is based on this portfolio and on the preparation and defense of the dissertation prospectus (ABD). This model enables students to fully investigate questions of disciplinary and interdisciplinary within French studies and to develop the tools of criticism appropriate to their project. These range from literary history, poetics, and discourse analysis to cultural and political theory and genetic criticism. Interested students may also subscribe to a Graduate Certificate in Film and Media, in conjunction with the department's Media Literacy subsection and the Center for Advanced Media Studies. Following the ABD defense, students are funded to pursue dissertation research abroad through our graduate student exchange with the Ecole Normale Suprieure, Paris, or through doctoral internships with francophone universities. Other research opportunities, such as residences for students of early modern studies at Oxford University and the University of Warwick, are available, and students may receive funding to attend institutes, residential seminars, and other programs for scholarly enrichment, language study, and archival research.
