"Vis a Vis" is a new podcast produced by the Alliance Program at Columbia University. "Vis a Vis" will feature conversations that challenge our understanding of key global, economic and social issues by casting them in a transatlantic perspective. The "Vis a Vis" podcast will interrogate and contrast the perspectives of Columbia faculty with their French and European counterparts, focusing on a range of issues of urgent concern, including: climate change, migration, freedom of expression, diversity, the politics of memory, the role of culture in society, AI and the future of work, democracy and social media, participatory democracy... Guests will include a broad diversity of Columbia faculty, researchers, doctoral students, as well as French professors and scholars visiting Columbia under the Alliance Program.
