Originating in 2009, H-France Salon is a multimedia journal of French Studies in its broadest sense, encompassing history, literature, cinema, art history, theory, and culture. Salons have included debates and collective reassessments of critical, methodological, and professional issues in our fields, tributes to influential individuals, recordings of conference presentations, webinars, and innovative blog projects. We welcome proposals that build on these initiatives or take us in new directions. Please contact us with ideas. (gcakmak@umass.edu)

“Enabling Curiosity & Starting Careers: Honoring the Retirement of James R. Farr”
Edited by:

In May 2020, as the world remained within the first wave of the coronavirus pandemic, James R. Farr retired from his position as Germaine Seelye Oesterle Professor of History at Purdue University. Due to his contributions to the discipline and his inspiring teaching and friendship developed with many of his graduate students over the years, his students subsequently decided to honor him with a modest series of essays in H-France. We believe this setting is most fitting because Jim was one of the early advocates and architects of H-France in the 1990s. These pieces emerged from a Retirement Symposium held in his honor in April 2021, hosted online by the Department of History at Purdue University.
