Sorbonne Université, Paris, France, is a key site for John Willinsky's historical work on scholarship and intellectual property. Just as there are roads, cities, people, and infrastructure that connect life here, the same is true of the research that is helping make scholarly publishing a global public good. John took the shot after giving a copyright talk to librarians from leading European libraries. From John Willinsky on his Amend Copyright Tour campaign. Sorbonne Université, Paris, France, 2022.
