New Fall Course: Francophone Perspectives on Wellness and Sustainability

submitted by gerlachs@augsburg.edu

Looking for a Gen Ed themed course in Sustainability & Wellness OR Local & Global Perspectives? In this new course from the Languages and Cross-Cultural Studies Department, we will explore cultural attitudes toward dietary habits, exercise, mental health, tobacco and alcohol use, and environmental practices. By comparing France and the United States, we will seek to understand how cultural and policy differences may facilitate or inhibit healthier lifestyles and sustainability.

Meets MWF 2:20-3:20pm. Taught in English using French materials in translation (CCS 215, no prerequisites). Optional French track (FRE 215, prereq FRE 112, modified assignments in French).

For more information, contact instructor Sharon Gerlach (gerlachs@augsburg.edu).
