This summer I was enrolled in six weeks of intensive French courses at POINT3 Language Center in the Old Port of Montr\u00e9al. During my stay, I shared a classroom and developed friendships with people from all around the world. In addition to morning lessons devoted to advanced grammatical concepts, enhancing our vocabularies and fluency, afternoons were spent debating polemics, or candidly speaking about our personal lives and worldviews. Workshops on the local Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois dialect\u2014infused with lessons on their rich cultural history\u2014were particularly valuable. The concept of language as culture, indivisible from national identity and place, was made evident to me on a daily basis in the streets of Montr\u00e9al and the rural regions of Qu\u00e9bec.<\/p>\n

With a greater ability to communicate in French, as well as my activity as a musician, I was provided a cultural access point\u2014the medium through which I\u2019ve developed personal relationships with Canadians of distinct and varying cultural identities. My interest in the use of music and French language to project images of the \u201cQu\u00e9b\u00e9cois nation\u201d only grew when I was able to examine how contemporary genres in Qu\u00e9bec also represent \u201cnations within a nation within a nation\u201d– including the M\u00e9tis and Acadian peoples. In addition to living with Montr\u00e9aler musicians and attending concerts and jam sessions, I participated in a government-sponsored musical tour of Qu\u00e9bec. Witnessing Canadian models of hybridity, identity formation, and cultural resistance in musical performance, I was able to pursue my research agenda: blending musical analysis and a study of state interventionist policies in cultural domains. Through FLAS and the support of the Canadian Studies Center, I was able to explore critical themes within my own research as well as in the field of Ethnomusicology.<\/p>\n
