    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.

    Internationalization in Education, 18th-20th Centuries

    L’historiographie contemporaine porte un intérêt renouvelé aux phénomènes de transferts, circulations, diffusions, flux et échanges entre différents espaces. Pour tenter de les décrire, diverses notions comme internationalisation, mondialisation, globalisation sont convoquées. Tout en historicisant et en problématisant de telles conceptions, cette conférence propose d’interroger la manière dont ces processus opèrent dans le monde de l’éducation.
