These doctoral workshops will provide an opportunity to examine the legal regimes governing animals. Indeed, the plural is appropriate here, as there are a multitude of legal regimes: legal scholarship tends to distinguish between animals close to humans, animals useful to humans, and wild animals. This academic event will thus facilitate discussion on the various legal frameworks governing animals and contribute to a deeper understanding of the complexity of this subject.

For centuries, maps have depicted the far reaches of the world as populated by dragons and other fantastical beasts. These creatures did not exist in those unknown regions; fear, however, did. It expresses something about the world and the relationship that societies, cultures, and individuals have with places, territories, and space. This call for papers from the journal Géographie et cultures aims to explore this most common of experiences. We are interested here in how fear exacerbates and reveals our relationship to space and to inhabiting it, but also—and above all—in how it functions as a geographical operator, from social practices to geopolitics, including urban planning and land use.

The primary aim is to contribute to the discussion on the concept and phenomena of transition in the broadest sense—conceived in a non-reductionist and systemic manner as a contradictory dynamic of change marked by crises, leading to a gradual and profound transformation of capitalism, the outcome of which remains undetermined. These transformations are occurring at various levels—local, regional, national, and international.

Issue 17 of the journalTraits-d’Union explores plants as objects of knowledge and reflection at the intersection of the natural sciences, the humanities and social sciences, the arts, linguistics, and politics. Far from constituting a homogeneous category, plants invite us to rethink how we define life, how we create, how we inhabit the world, and how we conceive of the relationships between humans and non-humans.

This call for papers focuses on narratives, rumors, and collective imaginaries in Africa, and their role in public policy, governance, public management, and entrepreneurship. It invites analysis of the mechanisms through which these factors influence perceptions, behaviors, institutional trust, and economic and social dynamics. Contributions may focus, in particular, on social media, misinformation, artificial intelligence, health crises, political narratives, the media, and entrepreneurial practices.

The inclusion of people with disabilities is now a matter of social justice and respect for fundamental rights. Although enshrined in international treaties, this goal is hampered by unequal spatial realities, which are particularly evident in the overseas territories. While social science research on disability has expanded, studies specifically focused on overseas territories remain scarce. Similarly, statistical data in this area is incomplete. Furthermore, the legal statuses of these territories vary. And even within the Overseas Departments, situations differ due to history, local perceptions, or delayed integration into the legal framework (Mayotte). Moreover, the scales of analysis reveal different realities—particularly striking in New Caledonia, French Guiana, and French Polynesia—between local metropolitan centers and their more or less nearby peripheries. This gives rise to significant disparities—even entirely different worlds—between the regional capitals and their surrounding areas, on one hand, and the outlying regions, on the other.

The Journal of Social and Family Policies is issuing a call for papers for a special issue titled “What to Do with Youth? Political Frameworks, Institutional Socialization, and Social Destinies.” This special issue aims to analyze, from a contemporary or sociohistorical perspective, how public policies, institutions, and professionals contribute to the guidance and support of young people, as well as the effects of these interventions on young people’s life trajectories and social outcomes.
