The American Library in Paris, Columbia Global Centers | Paris, and the Institute for Ideas and Imagination are pleased to announce Entre Nous, an interdisciplinary series featuring conversations between scholars, journalists, and artists from around the world. Inaugurated in September 2021, guest speakers join us virtually and in-person to explore topics ranging from climate change and the refugee crises, to the transcendental power of music and the art of contemporary storytelling.

Watch here Emily Apter and Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak discuss translating thought and thinking translation.
