• Housing between market, law and solidarity - FLEPES and other entities - deadline (abstract) before 15 07 2026

  Online 20 05 2026

  Announcement Calenda 1 400 388 (extracts)

  This call for papers invites us to explore housing in terms of distributive justice, recognition, ownership, regulation, territorial solidarity, financing, legal status, local governance and social vulnerability. This colloquium aims to take note of the complexity of the housing approach, which cannot be limited to an abstract opposition between housing as a commodity and housing as a right, but rather to think of it as a field of tension between several normative and institutional logics.

• Building community in higher education: interculturality as a lever for integration, recognition and belonging - Université de Clermont-Auvergne - deadline (abstract) 12 06 2026

  Online 11 05 2026

  Announcement Calenda 1 398 650

  The colloquium organized at the University of Clermont Auvergne (Clermont-Ferrand, France) on November 25, 26 and 27, 2026 proposes to combine feedback from experience, analysis of systems, and theoretical contributions in order to question what it means to "build community in higher education" in a context of internationalization. The aim is to explore how interculturality can be thought of not just as an objective, but as a process that structures policies, pedagogical practices and forms of institutional life. We invite researchers from a variety of disciplines and practitioners to submit papers in French, English or Spanish.

• Ageing. Je vieillis, nous vieillissons: de la complexité des vieillissements pluriels - "Cahiers de systémique" - deadline (article proposals) before 30 11 2026

  Online 07 05 2026

  Announcement Calenda 1 394 491 (extracts)

  This issue of Cahiers de systémique proposes to address a phenomenon that is widely shared but rarely dealt with from the point of view of the dynamics of complex systems: aging, understood as a biological process (cells, organs, organism), a biographical process (individual trajectories marked by ordeals, e.g. widowhood, loss of autonomy), and a collective process (demographic, institutional and cultural transformations).

• De l'écologie du travail à l'écologie au travail - "Nouvelle Revue du Travail" (NRT) (issue 32) - deadline (article proposals) 11/30/2026

  Online 07 05 2026

  Announcement Calenda 1 396 031 (extracts)

  This issue of Nouvelle revue du travail (NRT) looks at the growing importance of ecological issues in the world of work and, in so doing, the transformations of work and employment in the context of a major ecological crisis. This issue invites contributions devoted to the full range of professional activities, including polluting activities, potentially challenged by the objective of reducing greenhouse gas emissions or, on the contrary, marked by resistance to the greening of work, and activities a priori remote from environmental issues.

• Le travail ouvrier - "Nouvelle Revue du Travail" (NRT) (issue 31) - deadline (article proposals) 01 09 2026

  Online 07 05 2026

  Announcement Calenda 1 396 062 (extracts)

  This call for papers from the Nouvelle revue du travail (NRT) aims to give visibility to the work of social science researchers who are questioning and reinterrogating working-class labor in this first quarter of the 21st century, in order to draw up new portraits of it. What can we say about work, its conditions, its organization, and workers' relationship to work? Through this thematic issue, the magazine aims to focus on work and, from there, to engage in a reflection on the boundaries of working-class work, on the identities of working-class work, on the sense of belonging to the working-class world on the part of actors and actresses, beyond formal inscriptions in administrative categories.

• La permission - Université de Franche-Comté (Besançon) - deadline (abstract) 01 06 2026

  Online 07 05 2026

  Calenda announcement 1 396 878 (extracts)

  This call for papers focuses on the notion of permission in law, understood as a category. The event aims to question its theoretical status, diversity and functions, distinguishing in particular the different forms of permissive acts (authorization, tolerance, empowerment). It also aims to analyze the growing role of authorization mechanisms in contemporary legal systems, marked by logics of prior control. At the crossroads of general legal theory and the branches of positive law, the aim is to clarify the place of permission in the typology of norms and its practical implications.

• The complexities of sexual consent - APHM (Marseille) - deadline (proposals) 27 09 2026

  Online 29 04 2026

  Announcement Calenda 1 394 366 (extracts)

  Organized by CRIR AVS PACA (Centre Ressource pour les Intervenants auprès des Auteurs de Violences Sexuelles Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur), this symposium will explore the complexities of sexual consent at the intersection of the human and social sciences, medical sciences, law and professional practices. The aim is to analyze consent as a dynamic process, marked by power relationships, vulnerabilities, social norms and psychological issues, particularly in the field of sexual violence and support for perpetrators, both adults and minors. The event aims to promote interdisciplinary dialogue on contemporary uses of the notion of consent, its evaluation and clinical, educational, social, institutional and judicial support.

  The symposium will explore consent as a dynamic process, based on a cross-reading of human and social sciences, medical sciences and law, in relation to professional practices. It is aimed at professionals concerned by these issues (carers, psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, educators, professionals in the judicial, penitentiary and medico-social fields, etc.), as well as academics, researchers and students engaged in reflection on sexual violence, sexuality and consent.

• Les révolutions étrangères vues par la France - Université Lyon III - deadline (proposals) before 01 09 2026

  Online 29 04 2026

  Announcement Calenda 1 393 731

  The French Revolution has long been considered the matrix of all revolutions. Having "flooded its shores" with a dynamic that was "salutary and fruitful among the blessings of men", its principles and majesty inflected the destinies of neighboring peoples. What's more, for Michelet, 1789 made France the "vessel of humanity", the guide for all peoples in their quest for emancipation and freedom. In this paradigm, subsequent foreign revolutions stemmed from a unique global message delivered in France, the homeland of human rights and, as such, the beacon of humanity.
