  Did the Plague Impact Sub-Saharan Africa before 1899?

  Genetics evidence published in recent years suggests that certain strains of plague (Yersinia pestis) in sub-Saharan Africa may be centuries old. This raises questions whether there is correlation with the suspected depopulations in certain areas of sub-Saharan Africa in the late medieval period. This symposium, for the first time ever, brings together historians, geneticists, archeologists, art historians, anthropologists, and linguists to examine these questions.

  African diasporas in Canada: figures in the shadows and their role in international cooperattion

  L'objectif de ce colloque est de faire un état des lieux des initiatives de coopération internationale des diasporas africaines établies au Canada en vue de montrer les acteurs-clefs, les domaines d'intervention et les stratégies de financement et de mise en œuvre des actions pour le développement des pays africains. Le colloque se donne donc pour objectif de discuter d’enjeux insuffisamment abordés dans le champ de la coopération internationale, à savoir les diasporas africaines comme actrices de développement international dans leurs pays d’origine.

  World Cinema and Television in French

  This interdisciplinary conference will examine cinematic and televisual cultural productions that fall under a broad "French-language" umbrella in order to map out significant trends as well as new directions in the study of global French-language cinema and television and its points of contact with other languages and industries. It also aims to explore the opportunities and limitations of adopting labels such as cinéma-monde, transnational, Francophone, and World Cinema, as critical frameworks.
