Ep 61 - Navigating “Intégration” with Megan Brown

In France, a "good" immigrant is one who is intégré, integrated. This concept encapsulates values, language, culture, religion... and has frequently been weaponized against people of color. To delve into the ways in which this value looms large and small in French culture, Emily is joined by Megan Brown, a historian of Modern Europe with a focus on 20th-century France, European integration, and empire at Swarthmore college.

About Us
From one Emily in Paris to another... just speaking French isn't enough to understand the intricacies of the locals, but it's definitely a good place to start. Famously defended by armed "immortals" of the Académie Française (no, we're not making this up) the French language is filled with clues that show interested outsiders what, exactly, makes the French tick.

Each episode, listen in as Emily Monaco and an expert take a deep dive into a word that helps us gain a keener understanding of the French.
