SENIOR CAPSTONE
For me, cultural diplomacy is more than just a strategy, it’s a bridge between history, identity, and global influence. Through both written and visual storytelling, my senior capstone explores French language diplomacy as a tool of soft power, tracing its evolution from France’s imperial past to its influence today. Presented in a multimedia format, this research uncovers why France invests so heavily in cultural diplomacy explores how language and identity continue to shape perceptions and sustain influence worldwide. Join me on this journey to explore the power of language in global affairs.
