PARIS

We will be creating an interactive map of gay and lesbian Paris. To create this map, you will investigate and track (both geographically and temporally) the sexual landscape of 20th century Paris. You will add cites, anecdotes, photos and pertinent information to the maps that we will construct as a class.

Gay Paris Fall 2008

Welcome to our course's blog.

On this site you will find links to the syllabus, all of your readings, reading guides, a forum to ask questions, and other useful links. This site will also be a tool we will use when creating our maps of Paris.

This course is meant to be interactive. This inherently means that I want your input. I am interested in what you want to learn, how you want to learn it and why. I would love this class to be one long discussion forum - a place where you tease out your ideas and employ them by adding to and challenging other people's thoughts. 

This semester will be spent engaging with Paris. The city is a pivotal part of what we will learn and how we will learn it. It is the context for everything we will discuss, read and learn.
