The issue of living together in teaching training. From policies to practices
Éthique en éducation et en formation journal
Ce numéro de la revue Éthique en éducation et en formation examinera les questions de formation des enseignants en lien avec les politiques nationales (neutralité, laïcité, multiculturalisme...), mais il pourrait aussi inclure des textes sur la formation à l'éducation au vivre-ensemble, de manière plus large, par exemple, la formation des enseignants au dialogue, au règlement de conflits, etc., ou encore à travers différentes disciplines. Dit autrement, ce numéro ne se limitera pas aux orientations politiques des différentes régions étudiées.

Rejuvenating politics? Student politics and the history of youth’s political selves in South Asia
UW Madison conference (October 2018)
By drawing attention to the historical formation of both master narratives and counter claims developed by educated youth in the postcolonial period, the panel explores the relevance of campus spaces in the fashioning of political selves. After partition, many scholars regretted that students’ ‘movement’ had given way to sporadic, dispersed ‘agitations’, focused primarily on campus issues. Instead of dismissing group-based demands as ‘parochial’, or looking at students’ dispersion as a problem, this panel proposes to explore the myriad ways in which student politics supported, challenged or re-interpreted mainstream understandings of South Asian societies.

Development policies, space and violence in Latin America: an interdisciplinary discussion
The main objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers working from different disciplines (anthropology, sociology, political science, geography) on the spatial impact of development policies applied under authoritarian regimes in Latin America. Although the “spatial turn” is already well-established in the Social and Human Sciences, the appropriation and adaptation of this theoretical frame remains scarcely explored to reflect on State(s) violence(s). Moreover, the analysis of the spatial impact of development policies carried out in a "forced" manner in the period of dictatorships in Latin America remains also barely analysed.

Research Residential Program at Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies
Fung Global Fellows Program “International Society: Institutions and Actors in Global Governance”
Princeton University is pleased to announce the call for applications to the Fung Global Fellows Program at the Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies (PIIRS). Each year the program selects six scholars from around the world to be in residence at Princeton for an academic year and to engage in research and discussion around a common theme. During the academic year 2016/17, the theme for the Fung Global Fellows Program will be “International Society: Institutions and Actors in Global Governance.” The growth of international organizations and transnational actors has brought about the emergence of a dense international society above the nation-state. Under what circumstances do new international organizations or transnational associations emerge, and when do they expand in their membership and jurisdiction? Does international society function as a constraint on states? How do states and societal actors navigate the complex and overlapping jurisdictions of international organizations? In what ways do international organizations and associations function as distinct cultures or as bureaucracies with their own interests?

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.

Fences, Walls and Borders : State of Insecurity?
Colloque international – Montréal – 17 et 18 mai 2011. Vingt ans après la chute du mur de Berlin, la question de Robert Frost demeure entière : « les bonnes barrières font-elles les bons voisins ? ». Depuis la Grande muraille de Chine, amorcée au IIIe siècle avant J.-C. par la dynastie Qin, le mur d'Antonin érigé en Écosse par les Romains pour appuyer le mur d'Hadrien, le Limes romain, le « mur » est une des constantes – en Orient comme en Occident – qui ont marqué les frontières infra et inter-étatiques. C'est ce que ce colloque, rassemblant des chercheurs de quatre continents, des anthropologues, sociologues, juristes, politologues, artistes va explorer. -

Fences, Walls and Borders: States of Insecurity or Insecurities of State?
Plus de vingt ans après la chute du Mur, ce colloque international permettra de poser la question du retour du mur/barrière en relations internationales et, le cas échéant, d'analyser les facteurs qui ont conduit à cette résurgence, sinon dans les faits, du moins dans les discours. L'événement, organisé par la Chaire Raoul-Dandurand en études stratégiques et diplomatiques en collaboration avec l’Association for Borderlands Studies, aura lieu à l'université du Québec à Montréal, Québec, Canada les 19 et 20 mai 2011.Twenty 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 in North America, particularly along the U.S.-Mexico border, and in Israel, where the old Green line has been transformed into a wall separating Arab from Israeli. 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? -

Le mur en relations internationales
La fin de la Guerre froide a été marquée par la chute du mur de Berlin, l’essor sans précédent de la mondialisation, la libéralisation des échanges, la promotion de la libre circulation des produits, des personnes et des capitaux. L’avènement d’un monde où, selon la littérature, l’État devenait second en relations internationales et où la mobilité devait constituer le nouveau cadre d’analyse du système mondial, doublé de l’obsolescence de la souveraineté et, ce faisant, de la disparition des frontières physiques ne laissaient en rien préfigurer du retour du « mur » qui, après 2001, est réapparu avec comme un instrument clé de la protection de la souveraineté étatique. Depuis la Grande muraille de Chine, le mur d’Antonin ou celui d’Hadrien réalisé par les Romains, le Genkobori construit par les Japonais sur l’île de Kyushu, ou encore le Mur de Berlin durant la période contemporaine, le « mur » est une des clés constantes – en Orient comme en Occident – de la protection d’une entité constituée et souveraine.
