  Food in the Mediterranean and the challenge of globalisation

  Comme tant d’autres régions du monde, le bassin méditerranéen est confronté aux grands défis écologiques, économiques et sociaux - épuisement des ressources, appauvrissement de la biodiversité, déréglementation des marchés - qui influent sur ses modèles alimentaires et plus globalement sur sa capacité à nourrir les populations qui y vivent.

  Knowledge for Open and Inclusive Societies

  Inter-university Programme en Sociology

  The vision of the PhD programme is framed in its title: “Sociology: knowledge for open and inclusive societies” (OpenSoc). We depart from a main strategic assumption: the relevance of the knowledge produced by social sciences (particularly sociology) for understanding and intervening in contemporary reflexive societies. Understanding implies the critique of common sense and taken for granted “prenotions”, as well as the construction of adequate theory and concepts that foster a coherent framework to interpret reality, which is then methodologically put to proof and validated in empirical settings. Fundamental knowledge is to be nurtured by itself; but it also enhances the capacity of translating theory into informed and targetted social action and intervention. Societies need sociology. And sociology feeds society.
