Lilian Thuram talking with Lena Bopp (FAZ).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In mid-November, former French world-champion footballer Lilian Thuram presented his book \u201cLa pens\u00e9e blanche\u201d (\u201cWhite thought\u201d) in the University Library. In the book, the football legend vividly describes how European societies invented the categories Black and White, pointing to many examples, including some from his personal experience, that show just how these patterns of interpretation function. The book can be regarded as a deeply humanistic appeal to question established thought structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While visiting Frankfurt, Thuram also held a training course for teachers and met with schoolchildren from Frankfurt\u2019s four schools offering the French baccalaur\u00e9at alongside the German Abitur (Carl-Schurz-Schule, Liebigschule, Lyc\u00e9e Fran\u00e7ais Victor Hugo and Ziehenschule). The event was organized by Goethe University\u2019s Institute of Romance Languages and Literatures, the Institut fran\u00e7ais Frankfurt\/IFRA-SHS, Libingua (a network of grammar schools offering bilingual French-German education in Germany), and VdF Hessen (Hesse association of teachers of French). It was supported by the Polytechnic Foundation of Frankfurt am Main; Frankfurt\u2019s Mayor, Mike Josef, served as patron.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
