Activism, Networks and Connections (1920s-1970s)

Research on the long-term history of African women’s rights struggles in the 20th century is currently vibrant, however, a gap remains in the scholarship concerning the global engagement and impact of African women activists’ thought, practices and contributions to the emergence of international feminist movements. This workshop, convened by an international group of scholars, aims to foster collaboration on this issue, with a focus on African pioneers of women’s movements and their global connections.

Work and Utopia(s)"

Laboreal, July 2026

Since the 19^th century, the cyclical crises of our industrial societies have fuelled multiple initiatives aimed at envisioning another possible world. Yet recent decades have revealed a state of profound crisis that leads us to doubt, more radically than ever, the validity and sustainability of our ways of thinking and acting. Our futures are at stake, our models of society are being strained under the pressure of climate change, social and societal upheavals, public health crises, and political instability. In this context, human labour is an undeniable issue. In these times of transition, ways of thinking about and acting on work increasingly integrate the utopian dimension, which underlies the evolution of both the worlds of work and communities of life. This issue will therefore be an opportunity to take stock of the state of the art.

Women on stage: From the backstage to the to limelight

Women in theatre until the 19th century

Since its origin, the History of Theatre has been built by male names. However, it is unthinkable that women have not also had an important role in this construction. Besides existing as characters, their contributions as performers, playwrights, composers, entrepreneurs, patrons, scenographers or costume designers, among a broad range of other functions, were fundamental to the development of the theatrical practice. This conference aims to recover the place of women in theatre since its origin until the 19^th century, covering a wide variety of topics, which have women at their centre, either as the focus of a show or as marginal, as star or tertiary figure, as part of the audience or as producer of the cultural object. The conference aims to provide a comprehensive and transdisciplinary debate in order to rediscover the place of women in theatre in a global and historical approach.

Perspectives on Women’s Autobiographies from Africa and the Diaspora

This international conference aims to examine the autobiographies of women from Africa (during colonial and post-colonial periods) and the Diaspora to shed light on the meaning and significance of the various messages conveyed through those texts. Although there is an abundance of autobiographical texts by these women, many remain unknown to the general public. From that angle, the conference is positioned as a real prospect to further bring those half- veiled writings to public's attention. As such, the conference intends to bring together scholars, researchers, experts and doctoral students, in human and social sciences, as well as in languages and arts, affiliated to universities, research centers, NGOs and civil societies in Africa and around the world. Their objective is to present and discuss women's autobiographical writings from Africa and the Diaspora from a multidisciplinary perpective.

Displaying the social history of migrants: content, scenography, public engagement

Donner à voir l’histoire sociale des migrations: contenus, scénographies, médiations

We seek proposals from post-doctoral scholars, recent PhDs, as well as those in the final stages of their dissertations with a background in related fields, in particular migration studies and social history, especially as they intersect with museum studies and/or public history. Participants will discuss, from a theoretical and a practical point of view, the best ways to display, in an exhibition context, the daily experience of past migrations in all their social dimensions.

Integrating Gender in the History of Humanitarian aid: Europe (20th –21st century)

À l’heure des élections européennes, un colloque international se tient à Angers sur un sujet qui porte sur l’histoire de l’action humanitaire à l’échelle de l’Europe, à partir de la première guerre mondiale jusqu’à aujourd’hui avec l’investissement de l’Union européenne dans l’aide humanitaire. Le colloque pluridisciplinaire, Intégrer le genre à l’histoire de l’aide humanitaire, interroge l’action humanitaire au prisme des questions du genre. Il s’agit de comprendre en quoi le genre a pu avoir un impact sur le travail humanitaire et en quoi l’absence de prise en compte du genre a pu se répercuter sur les actions de terrain.

Biographies, Mobilities, and the Politics of Migration

Midterm conference of the Research Network “Sociology of Migration” of the European Sociological Association

Current political and media discourses on the questions of “integration”, “belonging” and “borders” are dominated by the perspectives of Western nation states. The objective of this midterm conference of the Research Network 35 “Sociology of Migration” of the European Sociological Association (ESA) is to shift the focus to the perspectives of those who are labeled and talked about in these debates and who become the target of ever-more complex and differentiated border and mobility regimes. This conference will, in other words, interrogate the way belongings and borders are presently challenged and reshaped on different levels (local, national, international) and how biographical perspectives in migration research can shed new light on these processes.

New contribution to Geoarchaeology

Word archaeological congress 8

Geoarchaeology, defined as the application of geosciences and geographical methods to prehistory, archaeology, and history, is now widely applied to study key subjects such as occupation patterns, territory and site exploitation, palaeoclimatic, palaeoenvironemental, and palaeogeographical changes, as well as anthropogenic impacts and system responses. The multidisciplinary and multiscalar dimensions of geoarchaeological approaches have encouraged continuous development and innovation of methods and approaches that have opened new possibilities for explorations in geographical sectors previously inaccessible, the development of large-scale data acquisitions and treatment, and also the development of microscopic scale analysis precision. This session will highlight global research in geoarchaeology with particular emphasis on innovative methods or cutting edge research using established approaches.

The Geographical Information of Art History: How and Why to Retrace the Circulation of Knowledge and Facts

Artl@s Bulletin 4, 2 (Fall 2015)

The spatial turn in humanities has enticed various disciplines to deconstruct the making of artistic facts: studying the circulation of artworks and artists now appears to be a fertile way to uncover the rationales, the constraints and the transgressions that shape the historical geography of art. This ‘return to facts’ calls for a closer examination of the methods used to identify, collect, re-assemble and interpret the geographical information produced by artistic activity. To examine the traceability of artistic knowledge and facts is the primary aim of this issue of the Artl@s Bulletin.
