Society for French Studies

The Society for French Studies, or SFS, is the oldest learned association for French Studies in the UK and Ireland. It aims to promote teaching and research in French Studies within higher education.

The current president of the society is Professor Simon Gaunt of King's College London

The society has a quarterly journal published on its behalf called "French Studies" (Oxford University Press), as well as a bulletin for shorter pieces and news called "The French Studies Bulletin". There is also an annual conference.

Each year, the society awards the R. H. Gapper Book Prize, the R.H. Gapper Postgraduate Essay Prize and the R.H. Gapper Undergraduate Essay Prize for the best scholarship produced by scholars at higher education institutions in the UK or Ireland. These prizes are presented to their winners at the annual conference.
