Who We Are
The French Interdisciplinary Group (FIG) was created in 1996 to promote familiarity with French language scholarship at Northwestern, in all fields, by supporting scholarly exchanges with the French academy at all levels - undergraduate, graduate, and faculty. FIG works closely with the Buffett Institute for Global Affairs, the Vice President for International Relations, Weinberg College, other schools of the university, the Paris Program in Critical Theory, and the Program of African Studies. FIG also works closely with Global Learning Office (GLO), whose French programs are located in universities whose partnership FIG has cultivated. Northwestern sends more undergraduate students to France than any other midwestern university or college.
