Racism, environment and health
Environmental racism and health inequalities
This issue of Journal Socioscapes aims to critically analyse the relationship between racism, health and the environment, in particular the relationship between environmental racism and health inequalities, the intertwining of environmental ills with the social ills of racism and capitalism, through the collection of theoretical or empirical studies. According to a multidisciplinary perspective, this issue of the Journal welcomes contributions from different fields of study, including (but not limited to) sociology, political science, anthropology, political economy, geography, epidemiology, public health, urban and rural studies, environmental studies, environmental justice studies, critical race theory, critical race feminism, political ecology, eco-feminism.

The Caribbean against the Covid19: A global crisis and local solutions
"Études caribéennes" Journal #48
Officially affected by the COVID19 pandemic in early March 2020, the Caribbean Basin is concerned about the fragility of its social fabric and the wide disparities in public health policies from one State to another, which make a comprehensive response at the regional level impossible. The situation worsened at the end of May with the withdrawal of US funding to the World Health Organization (WHO), finally condemning the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), an emblematic figure in the fight against epidemics in the islands and on the continent, to a drastic reduction in its interventions, or even its disappearance. In this way, this issue seeks to respond to various concerns about the regional impact of the pandemic, around the central issue: to what extent the economic, political and/or social impact hovers around unresolved points in the construction of Caribbean Nation-States that prevent them from facing the crisis.

Health: New Challenges for Development
« Revue internationale des études du développement », n°247 (2021-3)
A call for papers on health and development cannot but mention the current pandemic crisis. While international aid in the health sector has been rather stagnant of late, the Covid-19 pandemic could put health and infectious diseasesback at the heart of long-run priorities, particularly in countries of the South. While the African continent remains relatively unaffected, low-income countries share several characteristics: fragile and poorly funded healthcare systems that currently seem to be coping nonetheless, as well as a significant burden due to endemic health problems, including non communicable diseases. An integrated, unified approach to public and environmental health at different scales therefore seems more necessary than ever, especially in the context of climate change. This global crisis therefore provides new opportunities to better interlink the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and rethink the health and development nexus.

Grenoble
This event hopes to further discussions on the role of the State in the implementation of public health policies. We will also look into the responses given to these policies, whether they are judged too interventionist (denouncing dispossession of knowledges described as traditional) or insufficient (demanding for comprehensive and equitable care). We seek to to analyze the changes coming from the "left hand" of the State, in the contemporary neo-liberal framework, its genesis and its historical counter-examples. After a first day of sessions dedicated to scientific presentations, in a multidisciplinary framework open to all social sciences, the symposium also aims to open a space for exchanges with civil society. We would also like to take into account the international circulation of notions – as expressed by the phrase "obstetric violence", which both owes much to Latin American spaces and have had its meaning changed through such circulations.

Health from an environmental perspective: public policies and citizen mobilisation
Issue 19 of the journal Amnis proposes to address this connection between health and the environment. In addition to the fact that the recent fire at the Lubrizol chemical storage plant in Rouen on the night of 25–26 September 2019 confirms the importance of this topic (which was decided on four months ago), there are three good reasons why Amnis should examine the impact of the environmental crisis on health. First, tackling this subject gives the journal the opportunity to continue its reflection on the key political and social questions facing contemporary societies. Second, the subject lends itself particularly well to multidisciplinary interpretations, which Amnis has been committed to encouraging since its creation. Third, the principle of social responsibility in research, which has always inspired its various contributors, can be showcased with this subject. The aim will be to take an objective look at the issues associated with the impact of the environmental crisis on health within a context in which public discourse tends to blur the boundaries and delegitimise the types of action taken by some social actors.

4th Franco-Latino-American research conference in disability
Le réseau franco-latinoaméricain de recherche sur le handicap, l'équipe de recherche « Participation sociale et villes inclusives » (PSVI) et le réseau international sur le processus de production du handicap (RIPPH) organisent conjointement le IVe colloque franco-latino-américain de recherche sur le handicap à l'université de Laval, au Québec, du 25 au 27 juin 2020. Ce colloque est intitulé « Quelles sociétés du vivre-ensemble ? Réfléchir sur les expériences d'inégalités, de participation sociale et les processus identitaires ». Nous invitons les participants à discuter des dynamiques de participation ou d'exclusion des personnes en situation de handicap avec trois thèmes non exclusifs : les pratiques sociales liées à la transformation et à l'utilisation des espaces territoriaux ; les formes d'appartenances des personnes en situation de handicap à un espace social et/ou territorialisé ; la complexité des rapports de pouvoir.

Laboreal Dossier
If human beings are the result of a historical process and not the product of a pre-established plan, it is important to emphasize the significance of cooperative actions for their preservation throughout this process. A path in which work – as a constitutive element of our species – plays a decisive role in these actions. How has cooperation been taking place in formal and informal work activities? How have the current modes of management and their evaluation and training systems contributed to the construction or weakening of cooperative acts at work? What are the requirements to build cooperation?

Personal protective equipment: protecting but not always
Laboreal journal
Le recours aux équipements de protection individuelle (EPI) doit ainsi être la solution de la dernière chance et il ne suffit pas de les porter pour être protégé. Encore faut-il qu’ils soient adaptés au risque à couvrir et à la nature de l’activité, qu’ils soient correctement portés, stockés, entretenus et remplacés à temps. Dans le cadre de ce dossier, la revue Laboreal valorisera la multidisciplinarité – à savoir des contributions qui se situent dans le champ de l’ergonomie ou de la psychologie du travail, mais également de la sociologie du travail, des sciences de l’ingénieur et de toute approche qui privilégie les questions de la santé au travail.

40 years of democracy (ies): progresses, contradictions and prospects
VIII Portuguese Sociological Congress
Portuguese singularity presents today new communication bridges in comparison to other territorial realities, offering itself as a rare laboratory of sociological analysis. Regression phenomenon’s (both structural and dispositional) of articulation of social change’s asynchronous rhythms, of risk proliferation and uncertainty, conflictive conciliation of multiple modernities, within an unfinished one, challenge us to look sociologically at these last 40 years and also to think prospectively on tendencies and future challenges.
