SOC 280 - Le Flanuer I

A “flaneur” is defined as “an aimless idler; a loafer…from flaner, to idle about, stroll.” This class will initiate students to fields of knowledge ranging from urban studies to literature all the while exploring L.A. Students will use what they learn in this class for studies and an eventual project to be completed in Paris, in January. Though the course is in English, some language abilities are a must. Students are therefore required to enroll in a French language course or have taken courses in French at Whittier prior to the January course in Paris.
