Join us to study the French Revolution in Paris in this exciting new “Reacting to the Past” Queens College Study Abroad Course.
Registration and Fees:
Queens College is proudly offering three “Reacting” study abroad opportunities for undergraduates including the French Revolution Game to be played in Paris, June 29-July 31. Undergraduate students from all colleges and universities in the US with a GPA of 2.8 or above may apply.
The original cost of the program was $3338. Now, the course can be offered to students from any "Reacting" campus for $2479. The price includes airfare, housing, tuition, and cultural programs.
Contact Information:
There is limited space, so interested students should contact Gary Braglia, the Director of Education Abroad at QC, ASAP: 917-208-6963. The deadline is May 11.
Additional information is available on the web at http://qcpages.qc.cuny.edu/studyabroad.
Course description:
During our stay in Paris, we will study the background and history of the French Revolution, including the Enlightenment. We will “react” in the historical moment of the meetings held by the National Assembly in 1791. The French Revolution game will plunge students into the intellectual, political, and ideological currents that surged through revolutionary Paris that summer.
Students will become leaders of major factions within the National Assembly (and in the streets outside) as it struggles to create a constitution amidst internal chaos and threats of foreign invasion. They will face questions such as: Will King Louis XVI retain power? Will the priests of the Catholic Church obey the “general will” of the National Assembly or the dictates of the pope in Rome? Do traditional institutions and values constitute restraints on freedom and individual dignity or are they its essential bulwarks? Are slaves, women, and Jews entitled to the “rights of man”? Is violence a legitimate means of changing society or of purging it of dangerous enemies?
Some of the highlights will include walking tours of revolutionary sites in Paris, including The Louvre, Les Invalides, the Bastille, the Palais-Royal, the Conciergerie, and the “revolutionary 6th” arrondissement, and day trips to Versailles and the Royal Palace of Fontainebleau. A special feature will be the opportunity to experience the celebrations of Bastille Day on July 14th, France’s national holiday, first hand.
