We will meet weekly for a discussion of readings on Paris, addressing a wide range of issues affecting scholarship today. As the emphasis is on research, students will be asked to focus on a particular aspect of the arts and architecture of Paris, conduct their own research on it, give a brief synopsis of their work in class, and submit a final paper (5-10 pgs for students taking the course for 3 credits; 15-20 for those taking it for 5) at the end of the quarter.
