Association for the Study of Modern and Contemporary France (ASMCF)
Description
The ASMCF was founded in 1979 by pioneers of an interdisciplinary approach to French Studies that went beyond the literary canon. Several generations of scholars came together at a time when many French departments across the UK followed more traditional ways of examining France and the French. These pioneers advanced the ways of understanding modern and contemporary France and the French-speaking world through the study of politics, history, film, literature, poetry and much more.
The founders of the Association came from a range of institutions and backgrounds and across several generations. Many of these scholars were based at teaching-focussed institutions, advancing the way French and francophone studies were taught across the whole UK Higher Education sector.
