Doctoral research from day to day

Le doctorant, comme tous jeunes chercheurs, passe par une phase d’apprentissage et de socialisation au sein du monde de la recherche scientifique. Une première thématique abordera ce-dernier point en traitant des processus de socialisation au sein de centres de recherche. De plus, les doctorants et chercheurs pointent régulièrement une forme de fusion entre leur vie de travail et leur vie privée, comme si les espaces ne se différentiaient plus. Il en résulte de nombreuses contraintes pesant sur l’individu, faisant passer cette notion comme un nouvel enjeu de société. Un échange convoquera la notion d’intersectionnalité dans les sciences sociales et ses enjeux quant aux conditions de production du savoir. Enfin, une dernière intervention abordera la problématique de l'écriture d'une thèse - les spécifités, l'agencement, ... - et son rôle dans la formation du chercheur.

Nutrition and Food Production in the Congo Basin

Nutrition is a universal human right. Population growth and a higher demand for food, together with a changing nutrition pattern, will put the environment, at global level, under a growing pressure in the coming decennia. This pressure will be very strong on regions with a high biodiversity due to the ever growing demand on arable land and an increasing demand for animal protein, which will negatively influence the global ecosystem, the global climate and the biodiversity. The aim of the conference is to highlight a number of topics dealing with nutrition, the demand for food and food production – past and future.

In-Corporate. The Human Sciences in Business History: between Naturalization and Legitimization (1880-1940)

Even if human scientists and business executives like to argue otherwise, the human sciences have always been in-corporated. Without them, the modern business corporation would simply have been unimaginable, just as the production and consumption of working bodies within these corporations. ‘The Firm’ continues to frame itself as a fundamental human enterprise, in which the prominence of human ressources and human relations only continues to increase, yet the humanities of the business corporation largely remain to be written.

Beyond the monument. The fate of churches: become heritage or disappear?

IXth International Young Scholars Conference on Heritage

The Ninth International Young Scholars Conference on Heritage intends to discuss heritage-making with respect to churches and chapels of the historical religious traditions by examining from a pragmatic perspective the transition of these buildings from the religious space to the public space of contemporary civil society. The following dimensions will be specifically addressed: public action, including its means and partners; funding methods; means of conversion; and selection criteria at various territorial scales. Property plans and the appropriate or inappropriate character of eventual uses obviously remain crucial issues as well.

Informality, International Trade and Customs

The objective of this conference is two-fold: to promote applied research on the relationships between States, customs administrations and local importers of the so-called developing and emerging countries and to deepen the analysis of informality as a reality in international trade in a multi / inter disciplinary perspective (social anthropology, law, economics, history, political science, and sociology). Professor Keith Hart will deliver a keynote address.

Food and Hospitals

An Historical Perspective

While contemporary grumblings about hospital food have become the quintessential hospital complaint, it is undeniable that a clean, warm bed, rest and the provision of food and drink, rather than medicines and therapies have always greatly increased hospital patients’ chances of recovery. Indeed diet has from the time of Galen been a central part of medical therapy. However, even if central to the day-to-day routine of hospitals, workhouses and asylums, food and drink continue to be overlooked in historical accounts of hospitalisation. This conference aims to foreground the role of food and drink in health care institutions in the past.
