<p>A new MA in History and Literature will be offered at Columbia University in Paris, starting in September 2011. This one-year degree, taught in cooperation with ENS and EHESS, will feature a theoretical reflection on the relationship between history and literature, and a practical introduction to the study of texts and documents in print and manuscript form, drawing on the resources of local libraries and archives.
While French history and literature will be strongly represented in the program, students will be given the opportunity to select a research topic from a wide range of languages and historical periods.
Courses will be taught in English and French. Written work will be done in English. Students will have full reading and borrowing privileges at ENS, which has the only open-stack research library in France. Reid Hall, Columbia’s campus in France, is located at 4 rue de Chevreuse in the sixth arrondissement of Paris. Application deadline is May 2, 2011. For more information on the program, please go to:
