Calenda Announcement 1 439 640 (excerpts)

Guillemine TAUPIAC NOUVEL and JOANA FALXA, Senior Lecturers at UPPA’s EEI and SSH College, are organising an annual series of online lectures entitled ‘360° Studies: Incest’.

Against a backdrop of widespread tolerance and a heavy silence surrounding a criminal phenomenon of appalling banality, incest constitutes a subject of study at the crossroads of disciplines. Long regarded by anthropology and literature as a foundational taboo, it is now the subject of renewed attention from legislators and legal scholars.

Secularism and education in the Mayotte context. Religious pluralism, cultural diversity, equality and educational challenges – University of Mayotte – deadline (abstract) 15 November 2026

Calenda announcement 1 440 183 (excerpts)

Taking the context of Mayotte as its starting point – viewed as a prime vantage point for observing contemporary changes in secularism – the conference will analyse the tensions between republican universalism, diversity, equality and freedom of conscience. It will focus in particular on the philosophical, historical, legal and institutional dimensions of secularism, on educational practices and the development of citizenship, as well as on the challenges of combating discrimination and inequality.

Calenda announcement 1 440 861 (excerpts)

This doctoral workshop aims to open up discussions on death in the social sciences by embracing the convergence – and, at times, the productive friction – between sociological and anthropological approaches, and by bringing together situated studies whose very dissimilarity makes possible a comparative analysis of these collective interpretations.

Earth and World(s). Phenomenology, Ontology, Politics – In-person conference – University of Tours – 5 and 6 November 2026

Calenda advert 1 440 617 (excerpts)

The symposium focuses on the possibility of envisaging a way of sharing the Earth that does not lead to its destructive overexploitation and, moreover, on the hypothesis of an Earth that cannot be reduced to human appropriation – that is to say, one that has intrinsic value. It explores the different ways in which cultures relate to the Earth, whilst seeking to understand how human habitation can be reconciled with the preservation of the Earth itself.
