In this workshop we'll compare different cultures (France, US and other countries) and assess their various perceptions and expressions of sexual issues.
PROGRAM:
(If you want to be a speaker, please see instructions below.)
• Dr. Hélène Domon, professor of French Studies at CSUF: "Introduction to Chroniques sexuelles d'une famille française."
• Movie: "Sexual Chronicles of a French Family," a comedy by Pascal Arnold and Jean-Marc Barr (France, 2012). Three generations of a French family open up about their sexual experiences and desires after young Romain is caught masturbating in his biology class. If you're American, you must be 17 to watch this film. If you're French, you must be 12... :) Watch the trailer:
