Francophone Week
Celebrated yearly in March, the International Francophonie Day (Journée Internationale de la Francophonie) is a worldwide celebration that reunites francophones to celebrate French language and francophone cultures. This year, we reflect on the role of time in shaping the francophonie ; the French language has changed and continues to change to reflect the enormous diversity of francophone communities in all continents around the globe using the language for everything from everyday communication to writing scientific reports and groundbreaking literature.
The 2024 edition is the 4th by the WashU French community. This is a week-long and student-led event with the help of faculty members, the WashU center for excellence French ConneXion, RLL Department, and Olin Library.
The graduate students in French and Francophone Studies are pleased to present:
