Migration is a part of human history. People chose to migrate, looking for better opportunities, while others are forced into exile. The latter are called 'refugees', 'asylum seekers' to a point where the human being disappears behind these labels. In Afghanistan, the presence of the Taliban and the insecurity around the country have resulted in the greatest number of refugees and asylum seekers in recent years, following after Syrians and Venezuelans. Afghanistan is reduced to headlines in the West about war, terrorism and violation of human rights.
In this podcast, I go behind these headlines in an interview with Farishta Afzaly, who joined me to share her experience as a woman in Afghanistan. She was forced to leave the country as a child, and later returned to live with the presence of the Taliban while working at the American University Of Afghanistan in Kabul.

This podcast is about Rosie’s personal experience being a Taiwanese, studying at The American University of Paris, and living in Europe during this chaotic period of time. The Covid-19 disease (Coronavirus) is an acute respiratory disease that has managed to spread all over the world, since its first diagnosis in the end of 2019. On top of keeping ourselves safe, Rosie shows there are many other things we need to pay attention to, including but not limited to, how we treat each other in these trying times.
This podcast is the result of a two month research project conducted from October to December 2019. The format of our research was required to be a podcast by our academic professor. Our research is meant to explore how the use of cellphones in the metro impacts the behavior of commuters everyday. In order to gather our data, we intercepted eight people in the Parisian underground of which five were men and three were women, ages 18 to 26. In addition to these in-depth interviews, observation allowed us to enrich our method of researching. Although we assessed that our primary limitation resides in the fact that we didn’t separate the data between males and females due to a short time window, it refrained us from conducting a comparative analysis. In addition, the length of the podcast had to respect a duration of approximately 10 minutes which we found to be difficult to integrate given our desire to provide an extended rationale for our method. Therefore, we invite future researchers to take this research further, with more depth (taking in consideration gender, age, social background, or even conducting it in other locations) and to include a full rationale for their methods. In addition, it should be added that our hypothesis was that people use their cellphones to break from the social situation created by the metro environment. However, we have found that breaking the social link with the others was not the initial cause of the use of the cellphones but resulted from a maximization of people’s times, a desire to keeping themselves busy and for self-enjoyment.

Like this story? Then you’ll love “The Witch” director Robert Eggers’ newest film, “The Lighthouse.” The film, set on an eerie, remote New England island, stars Robert Pattinson and Willem Defoe as two lighthouse keepers desperately trying to retain their sanity. The Lighthouse premieres in France on December 18. If the strikes keep you Paris-side, catch the A24 film in cinemas across the city.
