While the legalization of abortion is most often treated as a moral issue, this issue ofL’Homme & la Société will examine abortion from a political perspective: what political effects does the decriminalization of abortion produce? We are witnessing paradoxical developments in democracies: some restrict access to abortion, while others recognize it as a constitutional right. Can we still speak of democracy when abortion is restricted or even banned? Isn’t abortion, fundamentally, a necessary institution of democracy? Doesn’t this amount to saying that democracy presupposes gender equality? How are women organizing to counter opposition to abortion? From this perspective, we will explore an important question: What impact has the decriminalization of abortion had on feminism?

Island territories present unique challenges for human resource management (HRM) and leadership. Remoteness, limited labor markets, the often-central role of the public sector, cultural and linguistic diversity, and exposure to climate risks all shape both organizational practices and employees’ career paths. Yet these specific characteristics are largely overlooked by management models designed primarily for large continental regions. These two half-day online sessions will bring together researchers from mainland France and the overseas territories. They aim to compare practical contexts, concepts, and methods, and to develop a comparative analysis of insularity in HRM and management.

The symposium “Violence Against Children: Recognizing, Addressing, and Preventing” aims to explore the field of hidden violence against children from a multidisciplinary perspective. It will seek to bring together diverse perspectives and disciplinary approaches on the political dimension of intangible or hidden violence against children, in order to enrich social science research and studies with cross-disciplinary perspectives.

Francophone research on lobbying has expanded significantly over the past decade, to the point where there are concerns about a fragmentation of theoretical frameworks and methods across disciplines. This one-day symposium, which builds on the event held in June 2026 on indirect lobbying, invites young researchers in the social, economic, and legal sciences to explore the conditions necessary for truly interdisciplinary research. The call for papers is organized around three themes. The first examines the relationship between lobbying and democracy, whether in terms of interest representation or asymmetries of influence. The second focuses on the regulatory framework governing interest representation and on emerging forms—such as cyberlobbying or electoral lobbying—that legal categories struggle to capture. The third focuses on actors and practices, particularly their digitization and the rise of artificial intelligence.

Trajectoires is the journal for young Franco-German researchers. Its mission is to contribute to the emergence and development of a generation of authors open to interdisciplinarity and committed to fostering, through their diversity, dialogue between French-speaking and German-speaking communities. The new “Échos” section ofTrajectoires offers doctoral students and recent PhD graduates the opportunity to publish, in the form of a thematic dossier, the results of a scientific event organized as part of their research activities.

Trajectoires is the journal of young Franco-German researchers at the Interdisciplinary Center for Studies and Research on Germany (CIERA). Its mission is to contribute to the emergence and development of a generation of authors open to interdisciplinarity and committed to fostering, through its diversity, dialogue between French-speaking and German-speaking communities.

The “Perspectives” section ofTrajectoires allowsyoung researchers to publish original articles based on their research (doctoral, postdoctoral, or master’s). Articles may address any topic within the disciplinary fields of the humanities and social sciences that has a Franco-German dimension. While comparative studies are particularly welcome, any article containing a Franco-German aspect—whether in its subject matter or field of study, of course, but also through the concepts employed or the bibliography used—may be considered for publication.

Union facilities—labor centers, people’s houses, union halls, workers’ offices, and the like—are much more than mere administrative addresses. They are the physical centers of union activity, the places where, generation after generation, workers’ collective capacity to organize, educate themselves, and resist has taken root. Yet for several decades now, these spaces have been repeatedly threatened: evictions, sudden rent hikes, reductions in floor space, and refusals to renew occupancy agreements. This conference aims to connect the deep historical significance of these places with their current vulnerability, using history as a resource for the present.
