  Research-actions and social transformations - international doctoral conference

  Doctoriales internationales

  Ces doctoriales internationales veulent en effet placer les étudiant·e·s, dans une perspective de pensées critiques face aux questions des prédicats de leur recherche et des conceptualisations et face à l’usage social et politique des méthodes de recherche et des résultats de recherche. Seront également discutés, les méthodes de recherche dans et pour l’intervention locale, les méthodes de recherches sur les populations versus les méthodes de recherche avec les populations, mais aussi le rôle et la forme de la recherche-action en faveur de l’émancipation des populations et de la place de l’expérience dans la transformation sociale.

  Conference, symposium - History

  Experts and expertise in the mandates and of the society of nations

  Figures, fields and tools

  Our vantage point is to consider the growing in importance of expertise during the twentieth century within the management of the colonial world and hence to study the emergence of the international sphere as a level of decision making. The purpose of this conference is to investigate the influence of early international agendas, advanced across the colonial world by experts operating in the orbit of international organizations. The investigation should also focus on the procedures and framework of international recognition of expertise at the intersection of the colonial and the international spheres. A first line of enquiry tackles the relations between the epistemologies that underpinned scientific knowledge in the colony and the metropolis. Another one looks into the sites of production of Mandatory expertise. Finally, we want to investigate the explicitly evolutionary conceptual framework for the mandates and its influence on the work of experts. We invite contributions dealing with the figure of the expert, whether official or not, and the various fields and tools of Mandatory expertise. Part and parcel of our reflexion is also a study of the limits and scope of expertise.
