Mountain Infrastructure and Its Vulnerabilities: Design, Governance and Repurposing

“Journal of Alpine Research”

This thematic issue on mountain infrastructure is dedicated to exploring the planned structures and facilities that ensure the long-term accessibility, habitability and economic activity of mountain regions. These infrastructure assets have both a physical and technical materiality (in relation to the practices of the actors who use and/or manage them, and playing a central role in operational issues) and an economic existence (in terms of their management and finance). They therefore need to be approached both through the lens of the sociotechnical and economic systems of which they are a part, and from the perspective of their environmental, political and historical dimensions.

The Social Life of Names and Naming Practices in the Context of Migration

Names are not mere labels but powerful tools through which people assert identity, are categorised, and negotiate relationships with states, institutions and communities. Whether they refer to people, places or businesses, names do things : they index belonging and difference, tell stories, record histories of mobility and settlement, and mediate social interaction. This topical collection uses names and naming practices to trace the reconfigurations that accompany migration.

Self-writing and migration. Ego-documents by researchers in the humanities and social sciences, 19th and 20th century

“Diasporas” Journal

Focusing on a material and practical approach to ego-documents pertaining to researchers’ experiences of migration, this issue of Diasporas aims to rethink the reflexive return to these experiences carried out by researchers in the humanities and social sciences, wherever they come from, throughout the 19th and 20th century.

Policing the Mobility of 'Undesirables' (1870-1923)

Powder, People, Papers

This study day aims to facilitate conversations across borders. Specifically, we hope to bring together various fields – Border Studies, Refugee Studies, Mobility and Surveillance Studies – in order to investigate border control processes and experiences during the period (1870–1923) and to facilitate meaningful conversations with those studying the present. Taking onboard the statement by French anthropologist Michel Agier in La Condition cosmopolite that ‘seen from the border, the world also looks different’, organisers would like to advance an encompassing view of border experiences.

Lost in Translation: Historical Perspectives on Language and Student Mobility from the Nineteenth to the Twenty-First Century

This workshop, held at the University of Geneva on 16 June 2026, aims to foster reflection on the languages of student mobility from the nineteenth century to the present, through a historical perspective that has so far been little explored. In order to launch a historical reflection while remaining open to interdisciplinarity, the event will examine the tools and methods of language learning, as well as the actors involved in it, the learning environments, and the diplomatic stakes tied to the language of study.

How do former industrial towns and border towns welcome refugees?

Dans quelles mesures l’histoire de ces territoires intrinsèquement liée à la question de la migration peut-elle ou non avoir un impact sur les manières de percevoir et de vivre l’installation d’exilé·es, voire de campements d’exilé·es en leur sein ? Le passé migratoire conduit-il à s’identifier à ces nouveaux-elles venus-es, à éprouver pour eux-elles de l’empathie voire à leur venir en aide ?

Crossed Perspectives on/with Unaccompanied Young Migrants: Words, Images and Discourses

We are organizing this conference in order to reflect on the worlds of words, images, discourses, and opinions surrounding these young migrants, produced both by the young people themselves and by the influential actors of our societies. We will question the scope of these representational worlds and their capacity to offer real alternatives for understanding migration with regard to UM-FIM-YIM. It is also a matter of observing, through the prism of media discourse, the role of the state, institutions, and different associative actors in the management of these phenomena.

Decolonization and justice: Multiple criminological perspectives

Criminologie journal

This thematic issue aims to bring together scholarly contributions that explore the relationship between decolonization and justice from multiple criminological perspectives by offering both theoretical and empirical reflections. It provides a venue for critical dialogue across disciplines concerned with the persistence of colonial relations within justice systems, while foregrounding the forms of knowledge and approaches that contest or transform them. Core concerns include social justice, alternative systems, care for marginalized populations, recognition of structural violence and reparations for victims.

Precarious housing in the Global South

Public interventions and residents' expériences

This call for abstracts aims to highlight the growth and complexity of precarious housing in a context of increasing urban inequality. Far from being reduced to marginality or poverty, these spaces represent a third of the world's population and play an active role in urban dynamics, combining vulnerability, inventiveness and collective capacities. In the face of often repressive or insufficiently coordinated policies, it calls for recognition of their diversity, their essential function in the urban fabric, and the importance of interdisciplinary reflection based on field surveys, via the following thematic areas: theme 1 - Ambivalent effects of urban public action, theme 2 - Residents' practices, mobilisation and daily resistance, theme 3 - Institutional, symbolic and criminal violence: forms, effects and social responses.

Topografías del asilo

Dimensions spatiales des pratiques d’asile (trans)nationales dans les littératures allemande, française et espagnole des XXe et XXIe siècles

Le colloque explore l’articulation entre asile et espace à travers le prisme des études culturelles et littéraires. À la lumière du Spatial Turn, de la Critical Geography, de la Feminist Geography et de la Postcolonial Spatial Theory, l’espace peut être compris comme le produit d’une pratique socialement construite et dynamique. Comment les littératures allemande, française et espagnole des XX^e et XXI^e siècles localisent-elles et matérialisent-elles les pratiques d’asile ? Quelles institutions sont mises en exergue et quelles esthétiques suscitent-elles ?

Trump and Borders: assessing the first year of his second term in the White House

Les organisateurs de ce colloque souhaitent dresser le bilan de la première année du second mandat du Président républicain, sous l’angle des frontières et des enjeux qui s’y rapportent. Que ce soient les frontières qu’il souhaite renforcer, celles qu’il ambitionne de redessiner ou bien encore celles qu’il veut redéfinir, il nous a semblé que cette thématique représentait un prisme d’analyse pertinent pour mieux comprendre la politique de Donald Trump et les forces qui la structurent.

Temporary Migration (20th –21st Centuries): Spaces, Regulation, and Imaginaries

Recent migration research has recently adopted intersectional approaches by disputing age categories, Gender, and class, which have long been pivotal to the study of migrant populations. Despite being the focus of sustained scholarly inquiry, these domains continue to exhibit notable limitations particularly in areas where migrants navigate conditions of “illegality” and where state authorities frequently respond with various forms of repression, including violence, detention, stop-and-search practices, and police surveillance. This symposium will thus serve as a platform for scholars and practitioners to exchange methodological insights into short-range mobility and to explore innovative approaches to researching migration contexts. Furthermore, it will provide a critical space to examine how funding agencies shape, influence, and/or potentially limit migration research agendas.

Call for papers - Ethnology, anthropology

How do former industrial towns and border towns welcome refugees?

In this call for papers, we would like to focus specifically on the particular case of cities that have historically developed through multiple waves of migration. We are thinking not only of the former working-class towns in north-eastern Paris, but also of border towns that have found themselves on the front line of migration reception during previous flare-ups of conflict in neighbouring countries.

Internment Europe: From Colonial Practices to Contemporary Control

This workshop aims to critically rethink the concept of internment in its various forms, tracing its development from colonial practices to today's 'detention archipelagos' in migration regimes. By the term “internment” - therefore declined in the plural - we mean all forms of imprisonment, forced segregation such as confinement, containment, encampment, concentration, etc. that aim to remove/enclose individuals or entire populations in prisons, camps, places otherwise adapted for this purpose.

Geographies of Vulnerability. Assessing Protection in the Screening and Resettlement of Refugees

Central to policy discourses on refugee protection and resettlement is the imperative to include those with the greatest needs. International protection mechanisms for refugees increasingly aim to categorize and identify target populations according to their vulnerability. This topical collection recognizes vulnerability as fluid and contested, shaped by evolving policy landscapes and international cooperation dynamics and explores the impact of different understandings of vulnerability on access to protection and the aim of burden-sharing.

The Words of Gender

Circulation, Translation, and Interdisciplinarity

Ce colloque international propose de réfléchir aux déplacements linguistiques, culturels et disciplinaires des concepts issus des études de genre, féministes et queer. Nous souhaitons ainsi examiner la façon dont ces mots voyagent, se détournent et se redéfinissent à travers des pratiques de traduction, de réappropriation ou d’invention, dans des contextes variés — disciplinaires, géographiques, linguistiques.
