SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Nobles and Yeomen: How French Brought 'Class' to English with Peter Sokolowski
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]French words that we use in English might seem fancy—like cuisine or couture. But these borrowings are just the more recent French invaders into our vocabulary since the time of the Norman Conquest. Waves of French and Latin words over the centuries tell much more than a linguistic story: they are a map of how we identify class and privilege in the words we use every day. \nAbout the speaker: \nPeter Sokolowski is Editor at Large at Merriam-Webster. He has written definitions for many of Merriam-Webster’s dictionaries\, is active as a blogger\, podcaster\, and speaker on language\, and has served as pronouncer for spelling bees worldwide. He was named among TIME‘s 140 Best Twitter Feeds of 2013. \nImportant information: The discussion will be available both online and in person. While the conversation will happen in person (Sokolowski will appear in the Reading Room)\, the Library will stream the conversation on Zoom for a live viewing experience. Both in-person and online attendees will be able to pose questions. \nThis event requires advance registration.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1661353661878{border-left-width: 8px !important;padding-left: 8px !important;border-left-color: #9e0143 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;}”] \nEvenings with an Author are free and open to the public (with a 10€ suggested donation)\nthanks to the generous support of Gregory Annenberg Weingarten of GRoW @ Annenberg.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Lindsey Tramuta\, Rokhaya Diallo\, and Grace Ly on Who Represents France
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]France\, with its wine country and white cliffs\, has resided in the public imagination for centuries. The image of Paris has undergone a series of transformations: at varying points an artistic refuge\, City of Love\, symbol of the aristocratic world\, and center of revolution\, the capital’s historical identity is rich and many-sided. Yet what lurks behind the city\, the country\, and its people when one looks beyond images of bread\, cheese\, and berets? How have stereotypes evolved with social media\, immigration\, and a changing political landscape over the twenty-first century? What do they share with the reality of contemporary France? Join authors Lindsey Tramuta\, Rokhaya Diallo\, and Grace Ly to discuss the fictions and fantasies of modern French life. \nAbout the speakers: \nLindsey Tramuta is Paris-based journalist and author. She has written for the New York Times\, Condé Nast Traveler\, and Vogue\, among others.

Her work has appeared in the Guardian\, Al Jazeera\, the Washington Post\, Slate\, and ELLE Magazine among others. She has published 10 acclaimed books\, including a graphic novel\, and has produced five activist documentaries. \nGrace Ly is an author\, podcaster\, and anti-racist and feminist activist.

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Processing the Processed Food Industry with Michael Moss
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]From unscientific diets to snake-oil products\, ‘healthy eating’ has never been a more nebulous term or challenging project. Nutrition labels\, packed with figures and jargon\, are little help in understanding the content of what we consume. In fact\, argues Michael Moss\, they only serve to further mystify it. In Salt Sugar Fat and Hooked\, Moss reveals the secret ingredients to processed food’s domination of supermarkets. Hidden behind the foods many Americans love most–potato chips\, cookies\, soda–is a world of research and marketing aimed at designing the perfect\, and most perfectly addictive\, snack. Join Moss at the American Library to learn how the world got hooked\, and what we can do now. \nAbout the speaker: \nMichael Moss is a journalist and author of two New York Times bestselling books on the processed food industry\, Salt Sugar Fat (2014) and Hooked (2021). He is a frequent guest on newscasts globally\, from CBS This Morning to the BBC. He won the Pulitzer Prize for Explanatory Reporting in 2010 for his investigation of the dangers of contaminated meat. \nImportant information: The discussion will be available both online and in person. While the conversation will happen in person (Moss will appear in the Reading Room)\, the Library will stream the conversation on Zoom for a live viewing experience. Both in-person and online attendees will be able to pose questions. \nThis event requires advance registration. \nAttendance at this event constitutes permission for your photograph or video to be taken at the event and used by the American Library in Paris for marketing\, promotional\, pedagogical\, or other purposes.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1661353661878{border-left-width: 8px !important;padding-left: 8px !important;border-left-color: #9e0143 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;}”] \nEvenings with an Author are free and open to the public (with a 10€ suggested donation)\nthanks to the generous support of Gregory Annenberg Weingarten of GRoW @ Annenberg.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Hélène Périvier on The Feminist Economy
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Can one be both an economist and a feminist? This is the guiding question of Héléne Périvier’s L’économie féministe\, which seeks to rebuke the alleged neutrality of economics and expose its gendered core. The study of economics\, Périvier argues\, was developed by men to serve a society led by men\, and the field’s fundamental concepts and methods of analysis are derived from a patriarchal model. This is also a field in which women are severely underrepresented: barely a quarter of all economists are women. Responding to the challenges of a discipline which undermines women and from which women are largely absent\, Périvier proposes a critical alternative to the established economic model: the feminist economy. \nAbout the speaker: \nHéléne Périvier is an economist at the Observatoire française des conjonctures économiques of Sciences Po Université\, where she is also director of the Programme de Recherche et d’Enseignement des Savoirs sur le Genre (PRESAGE). Périvier led the European Commission’s Effective Gender Equality in Research and the Academia project from 2014-2017. L’économie féministe was published in 2020. \nImportant information: The discussion will be available both online and in person. While the conversation will happen in person (Périvier will appear in the Reading Room)\, the Library will stream the conversation on Zoom for a live viewing experience. Both in-person and online attendees will be able to pose questions. \nThis event requires advance registration.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1661353661878{border-left-width: 8px !important;padding-left: 8px !important;border-left-color: #9e0143 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;}”] \nEvenings with an Author are free and open to the public (with a 10€ suggested donation)\nthanks to the generous support of Gregory Annenberg Weingarten of GRoW @ Annenberg.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Jeff Deutsch on In Praise of Good Bookstores
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]What is the role of the bookstore in the contemporary\, digital age? What services does it offer that mammoth entities such as Amazon lack? Can bookstores change the way we read? In his eloquent and impassioned debut\, In Praise of Good Bookstores\, bookseller Jeff Deutsch argues that bookstores are much more than commercial enterprises. Rather\, they are civic institutions which promote unquantifiable values: community\, friendship\, self-reflection\, meditation\, and more. Drawing upon economic\, literary\, and art history\, Deutsch also calls upon his personal experience as director of Chicago’s renowned Seminary Co-op Bookstores to make the case for the personal and public necessity of good bookstores.  \nAbout the speaker:  \nJeff Deutsch is the director of Chicago’s Seminary Co-op Bookstores\, the first not-for-profit bookstore whose mission is bookselling.  \nImportant information: The discussion will be available both online and in person. While the conversation will happen in person (Deutsch will appear in the Reading Room)\, the Library will stream the conversation on Zoom for a live viewing experience. Both in-person and online attendees will be able to pose questions. \nThis event requires advance registration.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1661353661878{border-left-width: 8px !important;padding-left: 8px !important;border-left-color: #9e0143 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;}”] \nEvenings with an Author are free and open to the public (with a 10€ suggested donation)\nthanks to the generous support of Gregory Annenberg Weingarten of GRoW @ Annenberg.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
