With the expansion of African universities and the democratization of access to higher education, campus food has emerged as a structural issue in university governance in the Global South. For thousands of students, securing food is a daily challenge linked to their academic resilience, health, and dignity. The book examines how ignorance of local food cultures can contribute to a form of epistemic symbolic violence that universities must address. Feeding students thus becomes a lever for justice, resilience, and the decolonization of knowledge, aiming to fill a gap in the scientific literature and serve as a reference for stakeholders in higher education in the Global South.

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.

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.

We tend to view the French Revolution as the prototype of all revolutions. Nevertheless, the revolutions that have occurred throughout the world undeniably possess their own unique characteristics. Furthermore, these revolutions have influenced many legal theories developed in France. This symposium, designed to bring together young researchers, lecturers, and professors, aims to highlight the reality of this movement.

At the intersection of the life sciences and the humanities and social sciences, the journal* * *Confluence:Sciences and Humanities*, supported bythe UCLy research unit, is opening its call for miscellaneous articles to a wide range of disciplines: from philosophy to biology, from law to anthropology, from theology to management sciences, from sociology to epistemology, from literature to political science, and from medicine to physics.

Originally conceived as a simple moral requirement, good faith has gradually become a legal concept, establishing itself as one of the fundamental principles of contemporary law. It now constitutes a legal requirement governing relationships between legal subjects within domestic legal systems, relationships between citizens and the government, transnational relationships between private individuals, and interstate relations. To highlight the cross-cutting nature of this concept across various legal disciplines, this conference will focus on two main themes: good faith as a legal concept and the functions of good faith.

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.

Contemporary societies are marked by crises: natural disasters, health crises, economic collapses, armed conflicts, forced displacement, and ecological disruptions. These events give rise to narratives, images, institutional discourses, and lived experiences that deserve to be examined by the humanities and social sciences.
