African Women Shaping the World

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

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.

Call for papers - Geography

An ecological transition under strain: country, landscape, and uses in contemporary Germany

The starting point for this conference is the observation that the ecological transition in Germany, which one might have thought would be easier or at least more harmonious than in other countries due to the importance that environmental issues have had in German culture, society, and politics from very early on, is in fact encountering numerous obstacles and is even being called into question. This is evidenced, among other things, by the setbacks which the energy transition encounters and by the success of the party Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) despite—or perhaps because of—its stance in favour of climate change denial.

Call for papers - Urban studies

Crossing urban Planning cultures in time of conflict and reconciliation

Views on continental Europe, 1937-1945. Session 69 – EAUH 2026

The aim of this approach is to consider how national urban planning traditions are shaped by conflict-related constraints during periods of escalation towards war and of occupation. National historiographies have long considered this period as a parenthesis in the circulation of ideas and models. In contrast to this approach, the perspective of the session involves an in-depth investigation of urban planning theories on a European scale, as well as an analysis of personal and institutional exchanges, technical transfers and expertises before and during World War II.

Lieux et espaces de la démocratie

Perspectives transnationales depuis 1848

Cet atelier international se propose d’explorer l’histoire de la démocratie à la lumière des apports du spatial turn, et ce, à partir d’exemples aussi variés que possible et dans une perspective résolument transnationale. En plaçant la dimension spatiale au centre de l’histoire de la démocratie et en nous interrogeant sur les frontières, les interdépendances et les influences réciproques au-delà des frontières nationales, nous espérons faire émerger de nouvelles perspectives sur les systèmes démocratiques. Considérant que les révolutions de 1848 marqué la culture politique en Europe, l’atelier se focalisera la seconde moitié du XIX^e siècle et le XX^e siècle.

Peripheral Archives in Africa and Eurasia (19th-20th century)

On 10 October 2025, we will bring together historians from Eurasia and Africa (19th and 20th centuries) to reflect on the concept of peripheral archives and how the production/preservation/use of archives located on the periphery or margins (geographical, political, global or national, family archives, village archives, non-state institutions, the Global South, etc.) informs the writing of history.

“Postcolonial Cultures Studies and Essays” journal

This is a call for articles or essays on historical, social or political issues in Commonwealth societies for issue no.4 of Postcolonial Cultures Studies and Essays. This issue will follow the SAES 2025 theme of “Transitions”. Articles are invited that consider political, social, economic, cultural or ecological transitions. This could include discussing transition to a greener future (for example in India, Australia, Canada…) or the climate crisis in particular countries. The theme could also cover political re-imaginings and desired transitions to a more postcolonial or decolonial standpoint as well as resistance to them. For instance, can the process of ‘transitional justice’ after the well-documented case of South Africa be observed in other countries?

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.

Vestígios do passado nas artes e letras afro-luso-brasileiras

Ces dernières années, plusieurs œuvres littéraires, audiovisuelles et artistiques ont abordé d’une manière différente le rapport au passé. Plutôt que de le figer comme une époque révolue, elles l’inscrivent dans le présent à travers des traces, des strates qui émergent au fil des récits et des représentations. Bien que de nombreuses intrigues se construisent au présent, et à l’époque de leur production, elles sont constamment traversées par le passé, non seulement à travers des références explicites, mais aussi par le biais d’empreintes subtiles qui hantent les personnages, les lieux et les dynamiques narratives. Ce colloque international propose d’examiner la façon dont les traces du passé s’inscrivent dans les œuvres audiovisuelles, littéraires et artistiques de l’univers afro-luso-brésilien. Il s’attachera à examiner comment les traces, les présences spectrales et les ruines, en tant que strates temporelles et mémorielles, hantent les imaginaires contemporains et nourrissent une réflexion sur la persistance du passé et ses résonances dans le présent.

Invisible Actors in the Making of International Law (1750–2000)

This interdisciplinary conference invites graduate students and early career researchers to consider the genealogy of international law since 1750. It aims to identify new or unrecognised actors – including individuals, groups, and institutions as well as non-human agents – and their contributions to the practices, interpretations, and applications of international law. How did they establish or challenge norms, customs, and institutions? How were their practices, actions, and ideas shaped into law? The event aims to historicise the making of international law by bringing together junior scholars of history and law and to provide a forum for the exploration of new ideas and alternative perspectives, combining and building upon historical and social scientific approaches.

Natura partigiana

Per una storia ambientale della Resistenza

La journée d'étude vise à aborder les aspects de la lutte partisane qui ont eu un fort impact sur l'environnement. Le renouvellement des pratiques historiographiques relatives à la Résistance nous pousse à interroger le rapport à l'espace. Le conflit a imposé des formes spécifiques et originales d'interaction avec le territoire, où chaque aspect du paysage et chaque ressource naturelle sont devenus un élément de lutte, de survie et de mémoire. Les montagnes, les vallées, les forêts et les campagnes ont été perçus et vécus à la fois comme des lieux de refuge et de bataille, et comme des espaces de résistance symbolique.

Connecting Courts and Coasts : Trade, Knowledge, and Cultural Networks in the Western Indian Ocean

From Post-Classical India to the Late Mughal Era

This conference explores the multifaceted networks of exchange that characterized the Western Indian Ocean from the Post-Classical period through the late Mughal era (approximately aligning with the Medieval to Early Modern periods in the West). The maritime connections between South Asia, the Middle East, and East Africa created intricate webs of commercial, intellectual, and cultural exchanges that profoundly shaped the region's historical development and fostered a deeper appreciation of societies across space and time.

Marc Bloch in Brazil. History and Social Sciences

The conference proposes a critical reflection on the work and legacy of Marc Bloch (1886–1944), a central figure in historical studies as a social science. His path as a medievalist, co-founder of the Annales, and committed intellectual reveals an interdisciplinary and transnational approach that remains highly relevant today.
