Friedberg Fellowship Reports
Julian Smedley ’19 researches immigrant cuisine in Paris: how it is regarded, and how it tastes (c’est délicieux!)
“There is clearly a difference between how the average “Français de souche” conceives of immigrant cuisine and how French chefs do so. The conception of immigrant cuisine as lower class means that immigrant restaurants have to price lower to bring in customers. This is unfortunate, as the soft, delicate cockles I ate at Le Grand Bol far surpassed the tough, greasy and more expensive escargot I ate at a French bistro the next day.”

Merudjina Normil ’19 explores the work of Senegalese women filmmakers and the lives of Senegalese migrants and Afro-French people in Paris
“After an amazing abroad experience in Dakar, Senegal researching the place of women in film, I wanted to push my research towards a different francophone context with the same subject. Thanks to the Marguerite W. Friedberg Award, I could afford to conduct research on Afro-French and Franco-Senegalese women filmmakers in Paris to see if/how they were combating the male gaze and constructing Senegalese womanhood.”
