Statement of Support

The Department of French and Francophone Studies at Carleton College supports people of color, especially the Black community, who are mourning their communities devastated by the pandemic and by police brutality.

Our department commits to continuing its educational mission on topics of race and violence within academia, but also to helping its students fight the systemic racism that terrorizes people of color in the United States and beyond.
