  26. What is the need or demand for this course? (Indicate if this course is part of a required sequence in the major.) What other programs would this course service?

Francophone studies and postcolonial issues are an area of research of increasing importance in American academia. A course specializing in Quebec Literature studying all the genres (poetry, drama, novels, legends and short stories) is essential to our French program since this literature is the second most important Francophone Literature outside of France. This literature gives an original view of North American life and has a great appeal to our students.
