  Student mobility in the French-speaking space in the 20th century: institutions, trajectories and sensitivities

  Ce colloque cherche à mieux comprendre les réseaux et sociabilités forgés à travers les échanges étudiants qui se multiplient dans le monde francophone au cours du XX^e siècle, et en particulier après 1945. Plus précisément, ce colloque vise à éclairer les liens entre, d’une part, la mobilité et les séjours d’étudiants francophones (Canada, Suisse, Afrique subsaharienne, Maroc, Indochine, etc.), facteurs de rencontres et d’initiation à l’« international », et, d’autre part, les institutions en charge de la mobilité étudiante dans l’espace francophone.

  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.

  Historical Development of National Systems of Elite Formation in Eastern and Central Europe

  This workshop is bringing together specialists from mostly Eastern Europe together with some West European partners, capable and liable of sharing their localised research expertise in the study of the birth and initial development of national systems of elite training in a number of (mostly but not exclusively) small East Central European societies. All of them have very concrete empirical research agendas and records in these fields, but separately, applied to their own national societies. The idea of the meeting is born from the need of and the interest in comparing – in many thematic issues term by term – research findings, insights and questions gained from studies of the training, career and activities of various East European elite groups during the decades up to the Soviet take-over.
