Last night I went to see a film with a friend and I fell asleep about a quarter of the way through. Strangely this turned out to be a near-perfect way to watch the film. It’s called, appropriately, Un Homme Qui Dort (1974) by [...]

Drôle de lettre, un video sur NewsLab. Excusez-moi les filles car j’utilise le blog pour envoyer une lettre vidéo à mon amie Soizic à Paris. Elle a commencé l’échange avec un vidéo de sa nouvelle maison a Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois. Son video c’est tres beau, mais un [...]

I’ve been watching these short videos about women’s lives and migration across different countries. Two in particular stand out: Maid in Lebanon and Maid in Lebanon II by Carol Mansour. We worry a lot about immigrants in the UK – legal and illegal, labour migration, [...]

From here, the situation in Gaza is penetrating lots of different realms of my awareness. This morning I heard the news about the rocket fired from South Lebanon, and listened to the analysis of what it might mean. People were trying not to be alarmist, [...]

Just before Christmas I went to Pune, a large University city in the state of Maharashtra, India. On my last day I went out with some colleagues to see a little of the surrounding town, villages and hills. I was sightseeing, looking for key Indian [...]

Here I am, very very small.
Et voila quelques photos pas tres romantiques du parc pres de chez moi – les arbres sans feuilles et l’herbe boueuse.

Mais en traversant le parc cet apres midi, après trois heures en lirent les journaux au pub le Prince Regent, [...]

Tellement emue par les photos, les petits morceaux, les impressions changeants de L’Israel et des Palestinian Territories. Et le mur. Je suis restée dix jours au Jerusalem, Ramallah et Bethlehem au 2004 et le mur commençait s’aggrandir tres vite, tellement grand et imposant, construit au grand [...]

Voilà quelques photos de mes vacances au Maroc.

Nous sommes allés au souk et nous avons vu les vieux hommes qui vendent la menthe.
Nous avons bu le thè à la menthe sans sucre parce qu’avec sucre c’est trop sucré pour nous.
Nous avons vu les garçons au [...]
