Atelier

Après six ans de lutte, Assa Traoré a créé en 2022 Génération Leaders, un programme visant à former une nouvelle génération de leaders engagés pour l'égalité et la justice, et à combattre les discriminations sous toutes leurs formes. Elle y souligne l'importance de la prise de décision collective et la force qu'elle puise dans ce modèle de leadership collaboratif. Dans cet épisode, Assa Traoré revient sur son parcours d'activiste et explique comment le Comité Adama a tissé des liens de solidarité intersectionnelle dans la lutte pour la justice.

La formation Génération Leaders se déroule à Reid Hall depuis sa deuxième année. Découvrez plus d'informations sur le programme, ses liens avec Columbia, et comment postuler pour la troisième promotion ici : https://globalcenters.columbia.edu/news/justice-et-egalite-visions-davenirs-possibles-avec-generation-leaders

The creative process offers a liberating counterpoint to other work, encouraging diverse thinking through varied mediums and perspectives, reframing failure as a first step toward innovation, and balancing professional and academic efforts. In this episode, Delphine Grouès discusses the role of creativity in education at Sciences Po and its influence on her career as an academic, teacher, and artist.

Delphine Grouès is the Dean of the Maison des Arts et de la Création at Sciences Po. A passionate scholar and writer, she authored a thesis titled Cris et écrits de l'opprimé, which explores Chilean popular protests, and the play La Lueur de l'ombre, which delves into the theme of collective memory and silence. Delphine's love for Chile is reflected in her work and her adventurous spirit, as she annually travels through the Andes on horseback, exploring some of the most remote and wild areas. She has also written a novel, Cordillera, inspired by her personal journeys and connection with the Chilean landscape.

How can combining historical exploration and travel memoir reveal the poignant histories of diverse African Americans who left the United States over the past century? In this episode, Tamara Walker discusses her recent book Beyond the Shores: A History of African Americans Abroad (Crown, 2023).

Tamara J. Walker is an historian and Associate Professor of Africana Studies at Barnard College. Her scholarship focuses on the history of slavery in Latin America and its legacies in the modern era.

Anne Atheling’s advice to other travelers can best be summed up as follows: “Go young, go often, and go long.” A Barnard graduate of the class of 1950, she studied abroad at Reid Hall in the Summer of 1949 with the Smith Junior Year Abroad program, one of the first post-WWII and in the same year as future First Lady Jacqueline Bouvier. As she puts it, this “kicked off a life-long love of everything French.” From May to October 1950 she hosteled alone throughout Europe. It then took her 50 years to return to France. On one of her now-regular trips to Paris since 2000, she tells us about the impact of study abroad on her life, her love of solo travel, and the importance of independent thinking.

What does it mean to be bored, and what is the impact of boredom on creativity, connection, and inspiration? Ursula Kwong-Brown and Daniel Erdberg, in Paris for Reid Hall's annual "Nuit de l'Imagination," discuss their relationships with boredom and introduce listeners to their new composition, Driftscape, an immersive musical performance that attempts to create a space, both personal and collective, where listeners can rest their attention for sixty minutes, be present, and allow their minds to gently wander.

As is mentioned in this interview, an excerpt from Driftsape will be published soon as an Atelier minisode.

Ursula Kwong-Brown is an LA-based pianist/composer/arts technologist. Described as “atmospheric and accomplished” by The New York Times, her work has been performed in diverse venues across the United States, Europe, and Asia. Ursula received her PhD in Music and New Media from UC Berkeley, and her BA in Music and Biology from Columbia University.

Throughout his multi-disciplinary, international career, Mohamed Elshahed has found that the most apt description of his work is storytelling. In this episode, he guides us through Cairo, London, Mexico City, and Paris, intertwining histories and personal anecdotes to provide context for the book project he's currently undertaking as an Institute Fellow.

Mohamed Elshahed is a writer, curator, and critic of architecture. In 2011 he founded Cairobserver, a fluid project with six printed magazines distributed for free to stimulate public debates around issues of architecture, heritage, and urbanism. He is the curator of the British Museum’s Modern Egypt Project and of Modernist Indignation, Egypt’s winning pavilion at the 2018 London Design Biennale. As a 2023-2024 Fellow of the Institute for Ideas and Imagination, he has worked on a book about this project, envisioned as a companion to his previous book, Cairo Since 1900: An Architectural Guide (AUC Press, 2020).
