The Museum as a Machine for Looking with Chris Dercon

The Hand‑Drawn Report with Aubrey Gabel

What can a drawing do that a photograph cannot? In an era of collapsing newsrooms and widespread distrust of the press, comics journalism has emerged as a form of reporting that slows the reader down, grants access to spaces traditional journalists cannot enter, and protects the anonymity of those whose stories most need telling. In this episode, Aubrey Gabel, assistant professor of French at Columbia and Fellow of the Institute for Ideas and Imagination, maps the landscape of French bande dessinée as a space for serious reportage.  She traces the medium's political genealogy, examines how the illustrator's hand enriches the notion of objectivity, and asks what it means that, in France, one in four books sold is a comic.

Across Two Models of Medicine with Mirna Giordano

What happens when a physician steps outside the system she knows and begins to observe another, not as a critic, but as a learner? In this episode, Dr. Mirna Giordano reflects on what a visit to Paris's leading children's hospitals has revealed about how pediatric care is organized, communicated, and experienced across two very different healthcare cultures. A pediatric hospitalist and faculty at Columbia University Irving Medical Center, Dr. Giordano has spent over two decades co‑managing pediatric neurosurgical patients and researching opioid‑sparing treatment outcomes. She discusses the emergence of pediatric hospital medicine as a subspecialty in the United States, the structural and legal forces that shape documentation practices, the growing medical complexity of children who survive extreme prematurity and chronic disease, and the more fluid team dynamics she observed at Necker and Bicêtre hospitals in Paris. She also reflects on what it means to practice medicine as a calling, and on returning from her Reid Hall Faculty Visitorship carrying something she had not anticipated: the desire to do things a little differently.

Transnational Collaboration and the Future of Investigative Journalism: Live from Perugia

Cross-border journalism has reshaped investigative reporting over the past two decades — but as the model matures, it faces real pressure: inequities between partners, funding strain, and the question of whether collaboration can remain both ambitious and sustainable.  Recorded live at the International Journalism Festival in Perugia, this episode brings together three leading practitioners to examine what makes transnational investigations work and what must change. Marina Walker Guevara of the Pulitzer Center, Laurent Richard of Forbidden Stories, and Hoda Osman of Arab Reporters for Investigative Journalism draw on recent projects to discuss trust, equity, digital security, and the future of a model that, at its best, ensures no story dies with the journalist who started it.

The Museum as a Machine for Looking with Chris Dercon

Museums today must reckon with an expanding set of demands—community, spectacle, education, preservation—and their buildings must reckon with them too. In this episode, Chris Dercon, directeur général of the Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain, reflects on the museum’s new home in the center of Paris, reshaped by Jean Nouvel. The conversation closes with the next exhibition, a project by Ghanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama, staged across from the Louvre as a deliberate rethinking of what a museum can, or should, be.

Online Influencers, Politics, and Free Speech: Live from Reid Hall

Description: Recorded live at Reid Hall in Paris as part of the annual Saving Journalism Conference, this episode brings together journalists, researchers, legal experts, and content creators to examine one of the most consequential shifts in the modern media landscape: the rise of the influencer. What does it mean when influencers drive more political engagement than journalists? Who is accountable when political money flows invisibly through social media? And in an era of algorithmic opacity, AI-generated fakes, and billionaire-owned legacy media, is independent creator-led journalism a threat to democracy — or its best remaining hope? This episode features: * Moderator Emily Bell, founding director of the Tow Center for Digital Journalism at Columbia Journalism School,  * Julia Angwin, founder and CEO of Proof News * Taylor Owen, Beaverbrook Chair in Media, Ethics and Communications at McGill University * Alice Cappelle, video journalist and author * Allia Mohamed, co-founder of Openigloo and content creator * Eric Munch, legal analyst at the European Audiovisual Observatory Website - globalcenters.columbia.edu/paris Newsletter - globalcenters.columbia.edu/content/paris-newsletters Instagram - instagram.com/cgcparis LinkedIn - linkedin.com/company/cgcparis YouTube - youtube.com/@CGCParis Host: Marie Doezema Production: Marie Doezema, Charlotte Force, Tessa Overvoorde, and Anthony Valette Editing: Theo Albaric Music: Lili Boulanger’s Nocturne performed by Magdalena Baczewska and Sasha He With thanks to the Nadia and Lili Boulanger International Centre in Paris The Columbia Global Paris Center [https://globalcenters.columbia.edu/paris] is part of a network of 11 global centers of Columbia University in the City of New York, one of the world's leading academic institutions.
