Professionals on the move. Crossing professional borders and what it means
L’ambition de ces journées d’études, en conclusion d’un programme sur les professionnels de santé en politique (NOTISS, MSH-LSE), est de réfléchir aux conditions et aux modalités des déplacements dans l’espace social par lesquels des individus quittent leur univers professionnel pour un autre champ d’activité.

In the Shadow of the Petrochemical Smokestack. Chemical Corridors and Environmental Health
This conference endeavours to study chemical industries that use fossil fuel derivatives. It will focus on these industrial activities’ environmental and health effects on surrounding areas and local populations. In the 20th century, petrochemical activities shaped their surrounding areas. Not just because such facilities required massive ancillary infrastructure networks to be built, but also because they enabled the production of new substances requiring coal and oil derivatives. As soon as petrochemical facilities were brought on stream, their harmful effects on local communities were perceptible. These industrial activities were rapidly accused of causing health problems for workers and neighbouring populations alike. Conflictuality was generally latent but sometimes broke out in overt violence, especially when highly visible “industrial spillovers” occurred, abruptly putting the spotlight on previously-unnoticed chronic pollution. Up to the present day, this conflictuality can also be vehemently expressed when deindustrialisation breaks the unspoken agreement that may have existed between workers and the companies that paid their wages. When an industrial activity ends, its ecological and health effects may become apparent, fuelling the resentment of the affected local populations and giving rise to activist movements that sometimes draw on revived memories of past disasters.

Addiction and work 2014 conference
Work, health and the uses of psychoactive substances. State of knowledge and prevention models
Historiquement, la prévention a consisté à lever le déni en ce qui concerne les consommations d’alcool, de drogues illicites et de médicaments psychotropes dans le monde du travail. Aujourd’hui l’enjeu est d’éclairer les interrelations multiples entre travail / usages de substances psychoactives / méthodes de prévention. Instruire plus avant ces liens n’est ni une mise en accusation de l’organisation du travail, ni une occultation des responsabilités individuelles, c’est une recherche nécessaire pour adapter l’action et la formation des protagonistes du travail et du soin, aux réalités contemporaines et professionnelles des consommations de SPA. L’ambition et la singularité du Congrès « Addictologie et travail 2014 » est de prendre le temps de questionner précisément chacune de ces dimensions (usages de substances psychoactives, travail, prévention) et leurs articulations.

Industrial diseases and collective action
L'objectif de ce nouveau séminaire de recherche est d'explorer un champ encore peu stucturé des études en sciences sociales sur les liens entre travail et santé : l'histoire et la sociologie des mobilisations contre les effets sanitaires néfastes des activités de production.
