    About the project

    French Politics is a public-humanities project by , an interdisciplinary expert in French and Francophone studies, political science, and critical discourse analysis.

    Through podcasts, visual essays, and critical analysis, I examine France’s political parties, presidential elections, and social issues shaping culture and society. Grounded in slow media, our news analysis studies how the same event is framed across the political spectrum, separating verified facts from editorial interpretation.
