French Conference Funded
By Daisy I. Alpert | April 26, 1994French professor Lawrence Kritzman recently received close to $100,000 in grants from the French Embassy and contributions from American colleges and universities to sponsor an annual conference on French cultural studies. The five-week conference, called the Edouard Morot-Sir Institute for French Cultural Studies, is the first of its kind. French professors from prestigious academic institutions such as Williams College, Brandeis University and Cornell University will also attend the Institute, which will be held at Dartmouth June 28 through July 27. Kritzman said he believes the Institute "will help make French a stronger discipline in the next century." The invited scholars will examine the theme "Culture and Memory in France." The Institute is sponsored by the Committee for the Future of French Studies, which Kritzman founded in early 1991.
