    Questioning Spaces of Citizenship in Latin America and the Caribbean

    Latin American History Graduate Student Conference

    Scholars often invoke citizenship as an analytic frame to understand the history of Latin America and the Caribbean. While the concept can encompass a broad range of topics, this conference will focus on the spaces where individuals and groups come into contact with the institutions and symbols of the state. These spaces may be physical places, institutional settings, discursive realms, or other fora. In this graduate student conference, we will ask how such spaces of citizenship are constructed, delimited, and at times rejected, and how the terms of interaction and negotiation in these spaces are defined and re-defined.

    Borders, Walls and Security

    Thirty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the question still remains “Do good fences still make good neighbours”? Since the Great Wall of China, construction of which began under the Qin dynasty, the Antonine Wall, built in Scotland to support Hadrian’s Wall, the Roman “Limes” or the Danevirk fence, the “wall” has been a constant in the protection of defined entities claiming sovereignty, East and West. But is the wall more than an historical relict for the management of borders? In recent years the wall has been given renewed vigour all around the world, whether in North America, in Europe (with the Greek border fence), in Asia (for instance in India) or in Middle East. But the success of these new walls in the development of friendly and orderly relations between nations (or indeed, within nations) remains unclear. What role does the wall play in the development of security and insecurity? Do walls contribute to a sense of insecurity as much as they assuage fears and create a sense of security for those ‘behind the line’? Exactly what kind of security is associated with border walls?

    Research into the environment: learning to work with diversity and intermingling knowledge

    Dans le cadre du quarantième anniversaire de la maîtrise et du vingt-cinquième anniversaire du doctorat en sciences de l’environnement, les Associations d’étudiants en sciences de l’environnement vous invite au Colloque Recherche en environnement : apprendre à œuvrer dans la diversité et le croisement des savoirs, qui aura lieu le 15 mai prochain à la Chaufferie du Cœur des sciences. Lucie Sauvé prononcera la conférence d’ouverture, intitulée « Savoirs en environnement : enjeux épistémologiques, éthiques et stratégiques ». Ensuite, des étudiants issus de divers programmes de formation présenteront leur projet de recherche sous un angle particulier. Ainsi, à travers leurs communications, les étudiants partageront une réflexion menée à partir des trois questions phares du colloque : quels sont les croisements de savoirs (multi, inter, trans, ou in-disciplinaires) mis en œuvre dans votre projet de recherche ? Quelles curiosités, nécessités ou réalités ont fait émerger ces croisements de champs de savoirs ? Quelles possibilités et quels défis sont engendrés par ces métissages et comment y répondez-vous ?
