Charlie Hebdo - Questioning the Response

Tune in for a critical look at the situation in France following the attack on Chalrie Hebdo last Wednesday. We will be joined by Caroline Fache, a native of northern France and a specialist in Métissage, the study of biracialism, multiracialism, and diversity as applied to literature, social studies, and political science. She will react to the attack on Charlie Hebdo and will offer insight into the history of race relations in France.

Caroline's research and teaching interests include modern Francophone literature, cinema, and the construction of identity in France for immigrants. She studies image and representation in the French world, especially as it relates to a crisis of identity in modern France. Carolyn says: “Immigration is a very big deal in France, as citizens from the colonies move to France and inevitably alter the physical appearance and cultural influences of the French-France didn't expect to be changed by her colonies.” Her current research project looks at the most recent portrayals of French immigrants in new TV comedies and how they deconstruct or reinforce existing stereotypes.

Hosted and Produced by Delphine Criscenzo, also a Native of France. Delphine is a community journalist and a multimedia producer.
