Yesterday’s Stories, Tomorrow’s Tools

Sara Wynn — Mon, 02 Jun 2025 13:07:53 +0000

As artificial intelligence transforms the future of knowledge, work, and communication, students at �� are harnessing it to reshape the past. Last semester, Assistant Professor of Law and Society Mariana Dias Paes guided students in her World History from 1500 course in using state-of-the-art digital AI tools to transcribe and analyze archival documents, bring them into public discourse, and contribute to a more inclusive understanding of history.

Dias Paes, a legal historian specializing in former Portuguese colonies, brings deep expertise in standard preservation practices. Before joining �� last fall, she served as a research fellow for the Max Planck Institute for European Legal History in Germany, working in African and Portuguese archives to digitize court records. She observed that even the best-resourced institutions struggle to make their collections accessible. At Portugal’s national archive, Torre do Tombo, she recalls, “they had documents from the 18th and 19th centuries and had never even opened the boxes… they always need to prioritize.”

When she discovered the Citizen Archivist program of the United States National Archives, Dias Paes saw a meaningful opportunity for students to be part of the solution. The initiative invites the public to help make historical documents more accessible by transcribing and tagging them with searchable metadata.

She also recognized a chance to connect the project to the broader conversation unfolding across campuses and workplaces about AI, moving beyond a binary choice of whether to adopt it towards how to engage with it ethically and impactfully.

“I don't think that prohibiting is the way to go,” she says, noting that students born in the digital world don’t always know how tools like Google and ChatGPT work. “The best thing to do is explain how it works and show them legitimate ways to use it.”

Dias Paes guided students in using Transkribus, a comprehensive platform developed by a consortium of European universities that supports the digitization, text recognition, transcription, and searchability of historical records. It greatly accelerates transcription—Dias Paes notes that the 70 court cases that consumed much of her PhD could now be processed in about a day—yet the process is far from automatic: users must train the machine learning-powered tool to recognize each unique handwriting. Once trained, “it allows us to read many more documents to produce a book or an article.”

Students say the experience shifted their perspective on AI. Raneem Grira ’26 shared that she generally feels strongly against its use, “particularly in history due to how easily it can be manipulated.” But she noted that Transkribus “did not have that element of easy misuse, as it was more of a practical tool—it works alongside you. You are still doing the analytical process.”

Students selected documents relevant to the course’s pre-19th-century timeline, such as US veteran registers. Many drew from the Archives’ curated “missions”—dozens of special-interest topics ranging from the Nuremberg trials and pirates to First Lady Bess Truman’s recipes and women in space. Some discovered surprising finds, including the contract between the US and France for the sale of Louisiana, and the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which ended the war between the US and Mexico. Other artifacts—such as slavery records—are more challenging to engage with, yet offer vital and practical insights into contemporary issues like citizenship and immigration.

For Dias Paes, every document presents an opportunity to talk about inclusivity and illuminate the experiences of historically marginalized groups. She notes that some archives “are not considered priorities for certain reasons. So it's important work of historians to take one step back.” Cultural bias also plays a role, as many AI tools–including Transkribus and ChatGPT– are better in English. “You find things in English easier. So we also had conversations about inequalities within knowledge production.”

Dias Paes says the project helps students understand the role of historians, countering the common impression that “they just read books.” Aakash Jayam, a visiting student from the University of Southern California, shared: “I’m grateful to contribute to the effort to digitize documents that might otherwise be lost to history. Transkribus is helping the academics of the future access the information of the past.” Grira, a double major in Environmental Data Science and Middle Eastern Pluralities, noted that parts of her studies benefited from the assignment. “I struggled with this assignment, but recognized it was integral to understanding the work historians go through to interpret primary sources… I strangely think it is one of the most important things any individual interested in understanding historians should do.”

Dias Paes plans to bring the project into her Latin American History course this fall and continue engaging students in the transformation–and democratization–of knowledge. “It’s an enormous revolution,” she says.

Getting to Paris

Lisa Palazzolo — Mon, 26 May 2025 09:37:37 +0000

Indicating your interest and confirming your participation

If you are interested in the Paris Scholars Program as a pathway to transfer to GW in your sophomore year, please let GW know by April 10, 2025. You can authorize GW to release your application information directly to ��; there is no further application or application fee. The instructions to indicate your interest are located in your GW Declaration of Intent information from GW. Remember this is an indication of your interest and not a binding confirmation of participation in the Paris Scholars Program.

We will send you instructions on how to confirm your participation with �� after you have indicated your interest with GW. The deadline to confirm your participation with �� is May 1, 2025. Although space is limited in the Paris Scholars Program, expressions of interest received after May 1 will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Once �� receives your information, you will begin receiving pre-arrival information on housing, roommates, confirming your enrollment, life in Paris, payment plans, everything you need to prepare for your study abroad in France.

�� has over 60 years of experience working with the families of students who are coming to live and study in Paris from the US and other countries and will do everything possible to make the process fast, efficient and as comfortable as possible.

Preparing for arrival

Once you confirm your attendance at ��, your admissions counselor will be there to guide and support you through the pre-arrival process. We are accustomed to working with students from around the world and are prepared to support you as you plan your arrival in Paris. The Move-in Date for visiting students is August 22, 2025.

Live like a Parisian

Lisa Palazzolo — Mon, 26 May 2025 09:35:59 +0000

Why study in Paris?

Paris is a global center for innovation and creativity. From literature and philosophy to business, fashion, music, and the performing arts, Paris is where people come to shine. At ��, you’ll be exposed to a wide variety of experiences and perspectives in a cosmopolitan capital of business and culture.

Our centrally-located campus in 7th arrondissement gives you easy access to some of the city’s most famous cultural sites—including the Eiffel Tower, the Grand Palais and the Musée d’Orsay. As you walk between our seven modern buildings, you’ll be immersed in a vibrant Parisian neighborhood full of culture, shops and cafés.

�� Housing

�� housing options are fully furnished and located in safe neighborhoods with an easy commute to the University. These options have been vetted and visited by members of our housing team, whose main priority is the comfort and safety of students. We know that housing is an important aspect of the �� experience, and for that reason, our housing options are designed to serve as a safe and supportive living community for our students as they transition to Paris and ��.

We offer two types of residences for incoming students: �� Residences are managed by the University, house only �� students and include one or two Resident Advisors. Partner Residences are apartment-hotels and French student residences that have partnered with the Housing Office to offer quality housing to our students and include Residence Representatives selected among the residents to help foster community.

Our housing offering usually includes single apartments or studios, twin studios, and single and shared rooms in co-living apartments. No two Parisians experience their city the same way, so we’ve made sure each of our housing options highlights a unique aspect of life in this beautiful city.

Each spring, �� releases detailed and specific residence hall information to all admitted students to review before the enrollment deadline. This year, the housing offer for Fall 2025 will be published on April 23. You will be invited to attend an online housing information session on April 24.

Why spend your first year abroad?

Lisa Palazzolo — Mon, 26 May 2025 09:34:26 +0000

Benefits of spending your first year abroad

Spending your first year abroad at �� is a transformative experience that will set you up for future success. You’ll gain independence, develop problem-solving skills, and learn how to adapt to new situations. Not only are these skills that will help you as you advance in your university career, but they are skills that can set you apart when you start applying for internships.

Studying at �� also give you the option to take GW pre-approved classes in an international setting, allowing you to study these topics with an added global perspective you might not be able to get anywhere else. Studying abroad early also gives you the opportunity to plan additional study abroad options in later semesters or give you more time to do internships before you graduate.

A challenging pathway

Starting your university career is a huge transition–it will likely be your first time living away from home, and the first time you are responsible for your own schedule. This can be tough regardless of where you choose to attend, but it’s important to acknowledge that starting abroad comes with its own set of challenges.

You will find yourself in a different country and cultural context as well as a different learning environment, where expectations in and around the classroom call for quick thinking and flexibility. This requires a certain level of maturity, confidence and independent thinking that might not suit all students, but if you do have these qualities, you can expect to thrive at ��. It is a wonderful opportunity to grow intellectually, personally and in a way that will enhance both your future studies at GW and the rest of your life.

World-renowned Journalist Kim Chakanetsa Continues to Empower Global Voices

Sara Wynn — Mon, 05 May 2025 09:52:24 +0000

Recording for The Conversation, BBC Studio, London

For broadcast journalist and writer Kim Chakanetsa ’05, journalism is about having the necessary conversations to elevate voices that often go unheard. With two master’s degrees from Columbia University and the University of Oxford and more than a decade of award-winning media production under her belt, Kim Chakanetsa has used her international education, curiosity and deep connection to the African continent to excel at storytelling across media. Born and raised in Zimbabwe, she began her academic journey at �� with a Bachelor’s degree in International Communications and Political Science.

“I always loved writing,” says Chakanetsa of her early years in Zimbabwe, “and I was inspired by women in journalism such as Christiana Amanpour.” Indeed, Chakanetsa had already decided on a career in journalism when she arrived in Paris, and �� gave her with the liberal arts foundation she needed to pursue that path. “It really set me up academically,” she explains, citing the intimate atmosphere of a smaller university and the accessibility of the knowledgeable professors she worked with as the highlights of her experience. “I knew all my professors, and it felt very intimate. I had meetings with them and felt that I was part of a community,” she recalls. This personalized approach to education is one of the strengths of the program, which gave her the foundational understanding of communication and the diverse perspectives that would shape her approach to the world and its stories.

Chakanetsa’s career took off after she completed her MSc in African Studies at Oxford University thanks to a Terence Ranger Fellowship. She took a job conducting research for a consultancy firm for three years in order to “feel out” what she wanted to do journalism-wise. While freelancing, she realized that she needed more technical skills and, thanks to a Pulitzer Africa Fellowship, began an MSc in broadcast journalism at Columbia University. She then won a Margaret Moth Fellowship and a placement at CNN where she was invited to stay on as an international assignment editor in the newsroom in Atlanta, Georgia, covering major global stories such as the Syrian uprising in 2011.

Following her time at CNN, Kim joined the BBC, where she spent a decade as a multimedia journalist with a particular focus on radio, which she has always loved. One of the highlights of her career at the BBC was hosting The Conversation, a radio program that brought together in each episode two women from around the world with different lives but similar experiences. The show, which Kim hosted for nine years and more than 450 episodes, saw her interview the likes of Íngrid Betancourt and Amanda Lindhout, Simon Biles and Nadia Comaneci, and won three prestigious awards for the ‘conversations’ it sparked about the struggles and triumphs of women around the world.

“There is a real ease and intimacy with audio,” she explains. While images can be powerful and sometimes shocking, Chakanetsa believes that the voice has a different power. “There’s just something about listening to people speak,” she says. “When you ask someone something off the cuff, there is a real difference in how people react when you have a camera versus when you have a microphone.”

In 2020, Kim co-created The Comb, the BBC’s first African narrative-led podcast, which proved hugely popular for its focus on African voices. The podcast, which ran for six seasons, explored a wide range of topics, from political disappearances and the Ebola epidemic to issues of gender and identity across the African continent. But Kim Chakanetsa did not stop at radio and television. In 2022, she published Africana, a children’s encyclopedia about Africa, which has since been translated into nine languages. Her book aimed to present a contemporary and accurate reflection of Africa, dispelling outdated stereotypes and showcasing the richness of African cultures and history.

As she continues to work on various writing projects, Chakanetsa is sometimes alarmed by the changing landscape of journalism. While she remains optimistic about the future, she acknowledges the major challenges facing the industry. The rise of low-quality podcasts, the fragmentation of the media market and a lack of media literacy have all reshaped the journalistic landscape, not to mention the risks associated with AI. But she remains optimistic, believing that new models are emerging, with new platforms giving journalists the freedom to produce authentic and independent work.

For students studying at �� today, Kim offers valuable advice: “Take advantage of being in such a unique place, surrounded by people who bring different perspectives.” For future journalists, she stresses the importance of understanding different points of view, especially in a world where truth has become so difficult to decipher. “Stay curious, read widely and listen to things you don’t agree with. It will make you a better writer and a better journalist,” she advises.

Reflecting on her own career, Chakanetsa considers herself lucky. “I’ve been so lucky to have had the career I’ve had,” she says. Her work has taken her to places she never imagined, introduced her to new worlds and people, and allowed her to have a direct impact on how the stories she cares about are told.

Currently based in New York City, Chakanetsa is focusing on new projects. She recently launched a newsletter about African arts and culture called Africa Unbound. As she continues to explore the world of writing, her career remains driven by a clear mission: to amplify voices, tell stories that matter, and bridge the gap between cultures and continents.

Kim Chakanetsa ’05 has built a distinguished international journalism career dedicated to amplifying underrepresented voices and reshaping global narratives through storytelling, radio, and writing.

Zachary Egan ’22

Sara Wynn — Mon, 14 Apr 2025 10:05:40 +0000

Born in Lithuania and raised in the United States, Zachary Egan ’22 came to �� following a gap year after high school. Initially drawn to Paris for a summer program, he quickly found himself captivated by the city’s history and culture. Given his curiosity and array of interests, from history and art history to politics and geography, he was immediately drawn to the flexible and globally-minded liberal arts education that �� offers. Entering as a history major, he immediately changed majors to ��’s interdisciplinary Bachelor’s in History, Law and Society after meeting with the department’s faculty who recognized his interdisciplinary interests, which allowed him to pursue all the fields that interested him—a choice he believes prepared him well for his current role in the Communications Office at the International Energy Agency (IEA) in Paris.

During his time at ��, Egan took full advantage of opportunities beyond the classroom, serving as Judiciary Chair to review and amend the University’s constitution from a student perspective, and later becoming Undergraduate Vice President, where he led the Senate, coordinated meetings and facilitated dialogue between students and the administration. He recognizes that these leadership experiences sharpened his organizational and communications skills, which helped him become a better team player in his career in an international organization such as the IEA. “These experiences were fundamental to making me comfortable in leadership roles,” he explains, highlighting his ease with public speaking and addressing all IEA staff, diplomats and ministers etc. “This is so essential to my job now, but it was really Student Senate that empowered me to hone in on those skills,” he adds.

Similarly, the diverse and multicultural student body at �� made for a fantastic learning environment where exchange through discussion, debate and teamwork reigned; and where coursework was bridged directly with the city. “One of my favorite courses at �� was the art history course “The Gothic Cathedral” with Professor Anna Russakoff, which included study trips to Chartres and Rouen,” he recalls. Egan, who spent many hours sitting by Notre-Dame between classes, found that studying in a city so rich with history broadened his analytical perspective, allowing him to approach complex texts and policy issues with a deeper sense of context. He appreciated the close-knit environment of the classrooms and the interactive law courses, including mock trials, which further reinforced his ability to think critically and engage in legal and policy discussions.

As he approached graduation, Egan yet again expanded his interests into the global geopolitics, trade and economics thanks to a course he took with Professor Peter Haegel, Global Political Economy. This, combined with an alumni mentorship at the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), helped him secure an internship at the IEA, during the Fall semester of his senior year. The internship soon turned into a full-time position in the Communications Division where he continues to make a name for himself.

Egan joined the organization in 2021, and by 2022, he found himself working at the Agency during a pivotal, and fascinating, moment in history due to the European energy crisis, post-COVID response and other conflicts causing energy market tensions. Working at the IEA has taught him a great deal about the intricate world of energy policy. As he progresses in his career, his understanding of bigger picture has given rise to a sincere desire to make a difference in the field, with a particular focus on access to reliable and affordable energy. “Energy affects every aspect of your life,” he says. “Energy touches everything.”

As he continues to gain professional experience, Egan has also begun a part-time master’s program in Energy Policy at the University of Sussex. His goal is to transition into the role of a policy analyst in order to further research on sustainable and equitable energy solutions. He is also a member of the Secretariat of the European Youth Energy Network, an EU-based, youth led organization dedicated to integrating youth voices into the fair and sustainable energy transition in Europe.

Building on his expert understanding of energy policy today, Egan is now passing on his knowledge to others, in particular when it comes to issues such as the potential role of AI in energy, energy security and clean cooking. He has helped organize high-level events where global energy ministers and leaders convene and he has introduced several student-focused initiatives. At a recent event he organized, 70 students from across France came together to pitch their ideas and workshop them with the IEA expert audience.

Looking back on his own time as a student, Egan sees strong parallels between �� and the IEA, both being highly international environments that foster cross-disciplinary discussions. “At ��, there were people with so many different interests. The IEA is similar,” he says. “�� was definitely the right place for me,” he adds, pointing to his education as the foundation upon which he built a meaningful career.

Even after six years in Paris, he still enjoys walking through the streets, discovering new places and reflecting on his journey. Though, these days, he may also find himself thinking a bit more about the streetlights and how much energy they consume.

Housing and Disability Accommodations

Sara Wynn — Thu, 27 Mar 2025 09:24:38 +0000

Students may require specific housing due to disability accommodations. There are two possible avenues for ensuring your housing needs are met.

Housing Medical Exemption

If none of the available housing options within our �� Housing roster fits your disability or medical needs, you can submit a medical exemption. To do so through your �� Status Page:

Select exemption on the “�� Housing/Exemption/Opt Out” form of your �� Status Page. You will then be given access to a Housing Exemption Form.
Complete the “Housing Exemption Form” on your �� Status Page – be sure to select “medical exemption” as the reason for your exemption request.

You will be asked to provide documentation to support your medical exemption request. The document must include all components to be accepted:

Must be issued by a Qualified Licensed Professional (must include licensing number, signature, and contact information)
Must be current: less than 5 years old (documentation must be clearly dated)
- However, this documentation does not need to come from your original diagnosing doctor. This documentation can be issued by any qualified and licensed medical professional.
Digital copies must be in PDF format.
Must clearly specify diagnosis(es), impact in an education setting, and recommendations.

To learn more about documentation requirements, please visit our Accessibility and Accommodations page.

Students who are approved for a medical exemption can receive housing assistance via the housing database.

Accommodations for Housing Placement

The process for requesting disability accommodations for priority housing placement at �� is managed by the Accommodations Coordinator in the Academic Resource Center (ARC) in collaboration with the Housing office.

Students with disabilities may be eligible for accommodations in the university’s housing. Students can request housing accommodations and provide supporting documentation by completing the “Disability Accommodations” form – this form is listed under the “VISA AND HEALTH” tab of the �� Status Page. Please note that, once that form is submitted, students will then need to sign up for �� Housing by completing the following housing forms on their �� Status Page:

The “�� Housing/Exemption/Opt Out” form, indicating they wish to book �� Housing.
The “Indicate Housing Preferences” once it is open, ranking the available options that could suit their needs.

Once your request for housing accommodations has been reviewed, if approved, a review will be conducted with ARC and Housing to determine if those needs can be met within ��’s university housing. If it is determined that the needs cannot be accommodated, students will receive a medical exemption from the housing requirement and assistance in seeking housing that best suits their needs outside of the �� Housing offer.

To be eligible, students must meet the posted deadlines and follow all policies related to the housing selection process. To learn more about documentation requirements, please visit our Accessibility and Accommodations page.

Priority housing for accommodation is issued on a first-come-first- serve basis. The deadline for request priority is outlined in the “Disability Accommodations” form of your �� Status Page. While late requests for accommodations may be submitted, such requests will be handled on a case-by-case basis, and it is less likely that the university will be able to grant them as there will be limited availability following the first round of housing assignments.
