    Minority Uses of the Past and Dynamics of Power in the Americas (19th–21st Centuries)

    This conference follows on from an initial meeting, which focused on the forms of uses of the past, to examine the consequences of these uses and their results, both on national history and on minorities, as well as on disciplines and their methods. Researchers from different disciplines are invited to reflect on the same subjects from the perspective of their methods: anthropologists, sociologists, geographers, historians, specialists in literary studies, cultural studies, art historians, and linguists. The following four themes may guide proposals for papers.

    This thematic issue of Civilisations journal seeks to examine dialogical photographic practices in which the image becomes a space of exchange.

    Wilful Imprecision – Irregular Measures in Graeco-Roman Antiquity

    We are pleased to announce the call for papers for the international conference Wilful Imprecision: Irregular Measures in Graeco-Roman Antiquity, which will take place in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, 8–10 September 2026. This conference proposes an ex negativo approach to the concept of standardisation of measures in antiquity. Rather than focusing on norms and uniformity, we aim to explore irregularities in measures and measurement: their excesses and deficiencies, as well as their variations across time and space, and their inadequacy from a range of perspectives, including economic studies, political theory, legal history, literature, archaeology, religious studies, hermeneutics, and philosophy.

    Ordinary justice and everyday policing in colonial context (French Empire, 18th-20th centuries)

    Justice and policing are complementary instruments in the hands of a colonial administration characterised by the accumulation of judicial and executive powers in the French empire. In order to move beyond the opposition between the disciplinary approach to colonial rule centred on "indigénat" and its “coercive networks” and a social history of justice sensitive to the relationship between users and the judicial institution in a context of legal pluralism, this conference considers justice and policing as local institutions that shape everyday life and are part of actors' ordinary practices.

    The Nature of Anarchism

    Exploring Complicity and Conflict in the Relations between Anarchists and Environmentalists (19th–21st Centuries)

    This multidisciplinary conference aims to explore the relations between anarchism(s) and ecology(ies) from the 19th century to the present day. It seeks to fill a historiographical blind spot by examining the richness of anarchist ‘environmental reflexivity’, from precursors such as Kropotkin and Reclus to their contemporary reconfigurations. Anarchism's historical rejection of centralised power structures and the productivism of the ‘machine age’ makes it one of the political traditions most in tune with current ecological imperatives. By revisiting these affinities and tensions, the conference will offer new insights into understanding social movements fighting for environmental justice.

  • Call for papers - Education

    L’université au XXIe siècle

    Enjeux des mutations contemporaines dans l’espace européen de l’enseignement supérieur (EEES)

    This is a call for chapters. Since the 1990s, European and international policies (OECD, World Bank, Bologna Process) have reshaped universities within the European Higher Education Area around competitiveness, efficiency, employability, and international attractiveness. While massification and mobility have increased, deep inequalities in access and success persist, and new challenges, such as digitalisation, ecological transition, student experience, and academic freedom, remain insufficiently addressed. We therefore call for multidisciplinary contributions to critically examine the 21st-century university and whether it can truly meet the political, social, and democratic challenges of a rapidly changing world.

    Summer School - Representation

    Cultivating one’s own garden, expanding horizons

    Mapping the personal and the collective through history of art and the humanities, from Impressionism to the present day

    The Seine has shaped the history of the Impressionist movement, which, in turn, left a lasting mark on the land. The research framework of this programme places the focus on this influential geographical backdrop, as part of a broader reflection on our regions. Housing traditions, ways of life, social structures, land uses, and the impact of agricultural and industrial development on the landscape are just some of the lines of research that require further study about Impressionism. This summer school aims to open up new perspectives through cross-disciplinary collaboration while experimenting with scales of analysis, to reflect on the experience of land from the most personal to the most universal.

    Unleashing Transformative and Decolonised Education for Sustainability in a Globalised World

    The theme of the conference is grounded in the transformative learning paradigm applied to education for sustainable development (ESD). ESD is a central element in promoting “enlightened citizenship” for all students, but also in training future professionals who will integrate a sustainable development approach into their work, regardless of the sector. This call for contributions is based on UNESCO’s 2030 Roadmap for Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), published in 2020 and the 2022 Berlin Declaration, which places transformative ESD at its core.
