Gender and education amid Covid-19
Impacts, responses, and prospects
The present conference aims to examine the devastating impacts of Covid-19 pandemic on gender equality and quality education, two sustainable goals identified by the UN, and the kind of responses which were triggered as forms of activism, self-expression, and creation of new meanings. Furthermore, it explores the prospects which may be unlocked for future professionals through learning different skills and values which foster equal opportunities for both genders in leadership and in the labour market, eventually and hopefully resulting in an equitable, unbiased, and fair labour culture for all.

Social justice in times of uncertainty
The 2021 Congress of the Swiss Sociological Association (SSA)
Social Justice in Times of Uncertainty takes as a starting point the health pandemic that erupted in 2020, which led societies across the world to cope with disruptions in the provisioning of goods and services, means of livelihood, and fundamental freedom – not least, that of movement. The crisis also revealed global and local inequalities, translated into who has the right to live or not, and raised new questions around (in)justice in the contemporary world. In light of the turmoil experienced, as a globalized society and within our communities, this congress emphasizes the relevance of social and environmental justice in the making of a fair society, asking the question: in times of uncertainty, what does it mean to live a good life in a just society?

The role of art in and towards sustainable changes
While the sociology of arts and culture has long dealt with classical sociological questions of artistic production, distribution and reception, the concern for ecological issues and sustainability has only recently been taken up. On the one hand, the artistic field is an economy and an industry like any other, where the use of natural and human resources leads to questions of inequality, access and power relations. On the other hand, it represents a particular case, as intertwined with the issues of sustainability are those of artistic meaning, reception and cultural practices, and social factors different than in other fields. What is the environmental and social impact of art? Can art be sustainable, both ecologically and socially through time, and how? What can we make of the sustainability of art that is made to last long – sculpture, painting, print, recorded production – as well as of the required preservations techniques and places? And, on the other hand, what is the place of ephemeral art when considering sustainability (in all its aspects): street art, graffiti, art installations, live music and theatre? How can art support transformations towards more sustainable societies? A change in individual and collective practices is needed to achieve the SDGs. What role can or do art and artists play in these transformations? Can artists contribute to shaping alternative paths?

Society for the Advancement of Socio-Economics – University of Milan 2013
The 2013 conference theme, "States in Crisis," is an opportunity to ask and answer a broad range of questions about the contemporary state, from its role in and reactions to economic and fiscal crises to the way in which its contours have or have not adapted and changed in concert with the modern economy to its place as a bulwark against or a catalyst for the construction of more market-driven societies. Within the well-established remit of SASE, participants are invited to submit theoretical and empirical contributions, at multiple levels of analysis from the local to the global, drawing from multi-disciplinary socio-economic frameworks. -

Nouvelles dynamiques migratoires : activités régulières et irrégulières sur le marché du travail européen
Colloque international: Nouvelles dynamiques migratoires: activités régulières et irrégulières sur le marché du travail européen, 6-8 Décembre 2007, Université de Nice Sophia Antipolis, France Appel à contributionsLa volonté affichée au cours des dix dernières années par les Etats de l’Union Européenne, de rendre leurs frontières de moins en moins perméables est en apparente contradiction avec les pratiques ayant cours dans certains secteurs économiques, qui visent à exploiter au mieux les avantages d’une main-d’œuvre supposée plus flexible, plus disponible et moins coûteuse que la main-d’œuvre nationale. Ainsi, les étrangers, globalement mis en situation d’infériorité juridique face aux nationaux et souvent confrontés à des discriminations sur le marché du travail, se tournent fréquemment vers les segments d’emploi les plus précaires, ou bien contribuent au fonctionnement d’activités au sein desquelles se côtoient échanges officiellement régulés et pratiques informelles, voire illégales. Dans les sociétés européennes actuelles, la place de l’étranger ne correspond plus majoritairement à la figure de l’ouvrier non qualifié se situant au plus bas de l’échelle sociale, mais renvoie plutôt aujourd’hui à un ensemble de catégories plus ou moins marginalisées, tenues à l’écart de la protection de l’Etat, sinon passibles de ses sanctions. C’est cet état de fait et ses conséquences sur les mouvements migratoires que nous proposons d’interroger.
