Ep 32 - Navigating “68ard” with Dr. Ben Mercer

What the hippies were to North America, the 68ers or 68ards were in France. To address this political movement that essentially saw France shut down in May of 1968 is Dr. Ben Mercer, Senior Lecturer at the School of History at the Australian National University. He’ll be exploring how this movement embodied some values of French society that still hold true today.Join us on Patreon: patreon.com/parisundergroundradioFind Us OnlineWebsite: https://www.parisundergroundradio.com/navigatingthefrenchFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/parisundergroundradioInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/parisundergroundradio/Credits- Host: Emily Monaco. @Emily_in_France; Website: http://www.tomatokumato.com and http://www.emilymmonaco.comProducer: Jennifer Geraghty. @jennyphoria; Website: http://jennyphoria.comMusic CreditsÉdith Piaf - La Vie en Rose (DeliFB Lofi Remix)🎵 MSKD Sounds:↪︎https://www.instagram.com/mskd_sounds/↪︎https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRql...↪︎https://soundcloud.com/mskd_sounds🎵 DeliFB:↪︎https://www.youtube.com/c/DeliFB↪︎https://soundcloud.com/delifb↪︎https://www.instagram.com/cativo.kevin/↪︎https://twitter.com/DeliciousFBAbout UsFrom one Emily in Paris to another... just speaking French isn't enough to understand the intricacies of the locals, but it's definitely a good place to start. Famously defended by armed "immortals" of the Académie Française (no, we're not making this up) the French language is filled with clues that show interested outsiders what, exactly, makes the French tick.Each episode, listen in as Emily Monaco and an expert take a deep dive into a word that helps us gain a keener understanding of the French.
