Audrey Celestine, a graduate student at the University of Paris, had a virtual presence in Hyde Park recently thanks to a bilingual videoconference that brought together students in Paris and students in Chicago.
The students were participating in a monthly videoconference workshop as part of a three-year project that the Partner University Fund and the French American Cultural Exchange are funding. Speaking from the University of Chicago?s Center in Paris via videoconference, Celestine quizzed Christopher Dingwall, a UChicago graduate student in history, about a paper he presented on W.E.B. Du Bois? book, The Souls of Black Folk.
Had he considered the migration of African Americans from the South to Chicago at the turn of the 20th century, she asked? Yes, he had thought about that, replied Dingwall, who was seated at a table in Harper 284.
The Paris-Chicago project brings graduate students and faculty from UChicago together with faculty and students from Maison Ren� Ginouv�s, Universit� Paris X, Nanterre, to discuss the experiences of migration in the two nations and the role of material culture and memory.
