  Ethics and social engagement of researchers: questioning research practices in the social sciences and humanities

  Call for Papers - Graduate student symposium Organised by the research lab URMIS - University of Nice, France Thursday June 7 and Friday June 8, 2018

  Ethics and social engagement of researchers: questioning research practices in the social sciences and humanities

  Often, starting a new research project or fieldwork begins with a self-reflective survey by the researcher of their own research practices. The URMIS graduate symposium, which is held once a year at Paris Diderot University or the University of Nice, France, offers to Ph.D students, senior Ph.D candidates and post-doctoral fellows in Anthropology, Sociology, History, Geography, and Ethnic Studies, an opportunity to present their reflections on methodological and ethical questions about research practices in their own fields. For the 2018 edition, which will take place at the University of Nice, we invite submissions on researchers’ attitudes to social and political engagement and on the ethics of research. The symposium will allow researchers to discuss their past or present research projects in the light of such questions, which are too often left unaddressed and remain hidden in our publications.

  Populism in the concrete sense

  Comparative ethnographical perspectives around a controversial notion

  Le populisme en tant que champ d'étude constitue un domaine profondément clivé entre deux types de travaux  : ceux qui mobilisent la notion en tant que concept opératoire permettant de mieux comprendre le phénomène étudié, et ceux qui en contestent l'usage. Face à cet antagonisme difficilement surmontable en apparence, notre parti-pris consiste à réinterroger les pratiques dites « populistes » afin de repenser la conceptualisation de la notion. Indissociablement, nous voudrions également réfléchir aux processus de labellisation qui conduisent les acteurs politiques – mais aussi les chercheurs – à recourir à cette notion, que ce soit pour la revendiquer pour soi afin d'établir un lien symbolique avec « le peuple » ou tenter de disqualifier un concurrent.
