Welcome to the Francophone world in Sewanee! We are a friendly department of five, and we love French so much that we would welcome any chance to show you our enthusiasm for all things French-related: literature, culture, music, movies, food, wine, and more! There are opportunities to study in France. On campus, you may practice your French in our classes, at the weekly Table Française (lunch on Mondays at McClurg), at the lovely Maison Française where students reside and where the Department sponsors Francophone programs, at the SUT for occasional French movies, and in the hallways of Gailor Hall where you will hear us chattering away in the "langue de Molière."
In Formal Revolution in the Work of Baudelaire and Flaubert, Kathryn Oliver Mills argues that despite the enduring celebrity of Baudelaire and Flaubert, their significance to modern art has been miscast and misunderstood. To date, literary criticism has paid insufficient attention to these authors' literary form and their socio-cultural context. To purchase from Barnes and Noble or Amazon, please read more.
Southern Teachers Agency has begun to receive French vacancy listings from schools for the 2012-13 school year. These jobs range from teaching French to elementary students through AP French Literature and Language courses. Occasionally, the jobs will call for an ability to teach an additional foreign language as well. STA is the oldest teacher-placement service in America. We receive job listings from hundreds of PK-12 private schools around the South. Schools come to STA because they recognize the value of STA's help in recruiting & screening talented candidates. Certification is not required by private schools for many French jobs.
Kathryn Mills will use the sabbatical year afforded by the Appalachian College Association grant to organize and archive the papers of her late husband, Wilmer Mills, in order to safeguard Wil's legacy to poetry. Only 41 when he passed away last summer after a short battle with liver cancer,Wilmer Mills, C’92, T’05, had already established himself as one of his generation's foremost poets. In addition to organization, Kathryn Mills’ work will involve sending out individual unpublished poems to journals, editing Wil’s third book, and writing on certain themes that evolved in his poetry.
There are no upcoming events to display at this time.
