Program Description

LGBT in Paris
January 3–22, 2012

The LGBT in Paris Program focuses on topics that address gay life in Paris. Typically, LGBT courses focus on gay issues in the United States; the LGBT in Paris Program provides the opportunity to view the gay “world” in a French context and, thus, to contextualize the gay experience as it responds to the wider cultural framework. This program offers insight into a gay community outside the United States, underscoring the notion that gay issues depend on more than just sexual orientation, but also social and historical contexts. The opportunity to study LGBT issues in Paris provides immediate access to information and observations that can facilitate understanding differences between the United States and France, New York and Paris-both generally, and in particular, in terms of the LGBT “community.”

The City of Lights has so much to offer: famous monuments and sites, beautiful cityscapes, clubs, book stores, and the shopping-there will be serious after-Christmas sales
