Gendering Humanitarian Knowledge
Global Histories of Compassion from the Mid-Nineteenth Century to the Present
The conference invites scholars to think about the notion of "humanitarian knowledge" in a multidisciplinary way, by combining perspectives such as gender history, the histories ofemotions and the body, literary and visual culture studies, global health history, as well as the history of institutions and their agents. All of them are useful to explore the transnational networks through which humanitarian practices and ideas have been promoted, disseminated and standardised.The conference brings together scholars interested in working on the history of humanitarian knowledge from a gender perspective. The interventions deal with stories of flesh and blood, which put women’s and men’s humanitarian experiences at their centre, in order to inscribe their local practices within a global history of compassion from the mid-nineteenth century to the present.

Women in Educated Elites of Pre-Socialist and Early Socialist East Central European Societies
The opening up to modernity of East Central Europe since the late 19th century was marked – among other things – by a triple process generating structural transformations of established post-feudal societies and affecting often radically the status of women. Due to post-feudal conditions of competition for social standing, positions of influence and prestige, hitherto unknown forms of inequalities appeared in the very process of accumulation of political, economic, professional, cultural an educational assets henceforth necessary for the access to the elites. Female professionals, though they could rarely achieve advanced careers in the ruling elites in the old regime, so much so that they often encountered even various forms of public rejection and discrimination on intellectual markets, significantly participated in the framing of the way of life of the new middle class. This workshop will adopt a gender-focused perspective cocentrating on the place of women (training, education, professions) and bringing to light the differences and inequalities existing between male and female members of educated elites.

Le débat historique sur le déclin de la fécondité a mis en évidence la nécessité de multiplier les angles d’approche pour mieux comprendre les motivations des acteurs et actrices de cette « révolution silencieuse ». Cette journée, placée sous l'égide de la Société de démographie historique, souhaite faire le point sur la recherche actuelle et examiner la potentialité des nouvelles sources tant quantitatives que qualitatives, tout en appréciant leur complémentarité. -

Crises – causes, interprétations et conséquences
Journée annuelle de la Société suisse d’histoire économique et sociale
La journée annuelle de la Société suisse d'histoire économique et sociale qui aura lieu le 24 avril 2010 à Berne est consacrée à la thématique « Crises – Causes, interprétations et conséquences ». Il s’agira de dresser un bilan des crises des XIe au XXIe siècles en abordant des thématiques susceptibles d’intéresser les sciences historiques et, plus généralement, les autres disciplines des sciences sociales. Les recherches, adoptant une perspective comparative et permettant ainsi de situer les crises en Suisse dans un contexte international plus large, sont vivement encouragées.
