French & Italian Graduate Student Organization

FIGSO is the student-led French and Italian Graduate Student Organization. Our projects for the 2011-2012 year include a Working Papers Series in which graduate students around campus will present work pertaining to French or Italian linguistics, literature, film, and culture. Our Invited Lecture Series will bring in scholars from around the country to host talks and workshops on topics in French linguistics, French literature, and Italian studies. In the spring, we will present a French play performed by French students at UT. We will also screen French films for the Film Series to be held in February 2012. Lastly, we will manage the French and Italian booth at the annual Explore UT event.
