• Feeding Students, Transforming Campuses. Toward Restorative Food Governance at Universities in the Global South—for a collective publication (University of Yaoundé I—Cameroon—and other institutions)—deadline (proposal) October 31, 2026

  Posted online on September 23, 2026

  Calenda Ad 1,432,642 (excerpts)

  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.

• Territorial Transitions in the Face of Contemporary Global Crises – CIST (Aubervilliers) – Deadline (papers): December 11, 2026

  Posted online on September 23, 2026

  Calenda Listing 1,434,898 (excerpts)

  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.

  Posted online on September 22, 2026

  Calenda Announcement 1,433,623 (excerpts)

  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.

• Illustrated Magazines in Circulation (1850–1950) – University of Lorraine and Other Institutions – Deadline (Abstract) November 23, 2026

  Posted online on September 22, 2026

  Calenda Announcement 1,434,377 (excerpts)

  This conference examines, from a long-term historical perspective, the media-specific and cultural characteristics of magazines and their circulation dynamics, both of which are closely intertwined. In particular, we wish to examine how the successors to the “magazines” of yesteryear (such as*The Saturday Magazine*,*Le Magasin pittoresque*,*Das Pfennig-Magazin*,*El Museo de las familias*, *Il Mondo illustrato*, etc.) are expanding their mission to democratize access to print media and culture, against the dual backdrop of the massification of education and the globalization of trade.

• "Disabilities and French Overseas Territories": Diversity, Delays, Dynamics, and Prospects – "Revue Francophone sur la Santé et les Territoires (RFST)" – Submission deadline (articles): March 5, 2027

  Posted online on September 21, 2026

  Calenda Listing 1,434,088 (excerpts)

  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.

• Categories, Age Thresholds, and Youthful Experiences: Historical Perspectives (18th–21st Centuries) - Journal “Agora débats/jeunesses,” No. 108 (2028/1) - deadline (article proposal) November 2, 2026

  Posted online on September 17, 2026

  Calenda Announcement 1,433,854 (excerpts)

  Youth is a historical and social construct, the contours of which have evolved according to the needs, values, and power dynamics of each society. This issue of Agora débats/jeunesses explores this instability dating back to the 18th century, when childhood and youth emerged as distinct but not yet established phases. It examines age-related policies—legal thresholds, administrative categories, and medical knowledge—that define and reshape these boundaries. It also analyzes the experiences of young people, which often diverge from institutional norms, through the lens of youth cultures and intergenerational relationships. The theme covers education, work, gender, sexuality, inequalities, and rights, using an intersectional approach (age, class, race).

• Foreign Revolutions as Seen by France – University of Lyon III - Deadline (abstract) by October 9, 2026

  Posted online on September 17, 2026

  Calenda Ad 1,432,747 (excerpts)

  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.

• Good Faith, Public Law, Private Law, Philosophy of Law, and History of Law – University of Grenoble Alpes – Deadline (abstract) October 30, 2026

  Posted online on September 17, 2026

  Calenda Listing 1,422,960 (excerpts)

  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.
