Articuler les traditions politico-intellectuelles de l’écoféminisme français et allemand dans une perspective globale
In light of the ecological crisis ecofeminist thought that first emerged as political-ethical and theoretical field during the late 1970s and 1980s has flourished in French and German debates during the last decade. The aim of the conference is to examine the ways in which ecofeminist theory is currently discussed in France and Germany, and how – in both national contexts – the respective traditions of ecofeminist thought and politics are re-articulated, criticized and transformed. Thereby the question how post- and neo-colonial power relations that shape the current ecological situation are addressed in ecofeminist thought will be of central importance. The conference seeks to re-evaluate traditions of ecofeminist thought in French and German speaking contexts, their uneven circulation and their present-day re-articulations.

UNESCO’s Role in Post-War Educational Transformation and Decolonization
On the 80th Anniversary of UNESCO’s Founding
UNESCO played a pivotal role in shaping post-war educational transformations, contributing to the reconstruction of war-ravaged school systems and fostering new visions of education and learning. Notably, the organization assumed a critical role in the decolonization process, supporting the establishment of independent national education systems and promoting access to education for all peoples. In recognition of the 80th anniversary of UNESCO’s founding, the Roma Tre University is pleased to announce a call for papers for an international webinar series. This series is designed to provide a platform for presenters to showcase their ongoing research projects, discuss their chosen methodologies, highlight the types of sources being utilized, and share anticipated outcomes.

Connecting the Dots in English Language Teaching (ELT)
Tunisia TESOL 9th International Conference
The Tunisia TESOL Ninth International Conference, themed Connecting the Dots in ELT, aims to address the pervasive disconnect within the field of English Language Teaching (ELT). Our conference invites participations focusing on problems caused by the missing links, for instance, between various educational levels within a single system, the possible misalignment between theory and practice, and/or the inconsistencies within curriculum components. These issues are not isolated but are indicative of broader systemic challenges that challenge practitioners and could undermine the efficacy and coherence of ELT provision.

Stay or Leave? Family survival tactics during the age of emigrations
1770-1830s
During the Age of Revolutions (c. 1770-1830), Europe and the Americas were convulsed by a wave of interrelated political upheavals, social protests, slave rebellions, and wars. Republican alternatives to monarchies proliferated, even as colonial wars and abolitionist insurrections shook even the most entrenched empires. As a result, hundreds of thousands of people found themselves displaced and dispersed across the Atlantic world. While some chose to leave out of political or religious principle, others were forced out by some combination of ideological persecution, economic dislocation, and armed conflict. Wherever they ended up, the uprooted were forced to negotiate foreign and often hostile cultures and asylum practices. Drawing together historians and scholars of the literary, visual, and musical arts, this workshop aims to shed light on the least-visible members of these diasporas —women, children and servants— and to develop interdisciplinary perspectives on familial constellations of exile.

Symposium on Intellectual History and Legal History (INTELLEX)
The conference aims to gather scholars working on legal history or other aspects related to the teaching of legal disciplines in a historical context in order to contribute to an intellectual history of this discipline. Although the conference focuses on identifying the intellectual contexts in which legal history developed, social aspects are also considered, since ideas do not exist independently of people. The social aspects could be, for instance, teachers and students at universities, royal academies, or other institutions disseminating knowledge.

Genesis of professions and language learning: 16th – first half 19th c.
The early modern period saw the emergence of a number of professional groups in Europe that both shared characteristics with modern professions and showed distinct early-modern features. A key aspect of this process was the introduction of specialized education, which often included language learning. This was particularly true for occupations where proficiency in specific languages was essential, such as diplomats, diplomatic translators, secretaries, scribes, scholars, and clerics. Moreover, due to the intensification of transnational contacts and geographical mobility among specialists as well as the circulation of printed books, language proficiency became an integral part of the education for many other professional groups, such as military officers, engineers, and artists. The objective of the workshop is to contribute to our understanding of the roles played by both state and private actors in the development of linguistic training for early modern professional groups and to assess differences in the emerging professionalisation policies across Europe.

Breaking New Grounds: Democratising Gardens and Gardening in Great Britain, 19th-20th centuries
This conference stems from a reflection on the social and political dimensions of gardens and gardening in Great Britain ranging from the Victorian and Edwardian eras to the post-war period. Pondering on “People’s Gardens,” Vita Sackville-West claimed that “we have been called a nation of shopkeepers; we might with equal justice be called a nation of gardeners” (Sackville-West 1939). Her assertion insists on a sense of community, portraying gardening as an inclusive affair spreading across the country to amateurs along professionals who undertook training in botany and horticulture. Yet, such inclusivity needs to be qualified and addressed, taking into consideration class and gender: how was gardening dependent on class in Britain in the 19th and 20th centuries? How did class condition gardening practices? How did men and women’s experiences of gardening or access to gardens differ?

Scotism in the Reformation Era
Historical and Historiographical Questions
Recent decades have seen great progress in our understanding of the tradition of Scotism. Thanks to the work of historians of late medieval and early modern philosophy and theology, the importance, but also the doctrinal complexity, of Scotus’ legacy have been brought to light. Historians of the Reformation, however, have remained cautious regarding the broad impact of this intellectual legacy. In order to do justice to the diversity of early modern Scotism, it is therefore time to have a fresh look at Scotus’ legacy in the Reformation era and to bring together historians of philosophy, of late medieval theology, and of the Reformed traditions to discuss the import of Scotism in the 16th and 17th centuries. This is the aim of our conference.

Left-Wing Women’s Organizing and Activism in the Twentieth Century
This conference seeks to bring together scholars from different disciplines working on various aspects of the history of women’s activism and organizing. It aims to explore how women across the spectrum of left-wing politics shaped and influenced the twentieth century’s political, social, and cultural landscapes. The conference aspires to assess the contribution of left-wing women’s activists to the general struggle for women’s emancipation using intersectional, postcolonial, and critical-feminist approaches, acknowledging the pluralities in forms and methods of organizing. We encourage prospective participants to explore different forms and frameworks of women’s activism, collaboration, and/or antagonism; continuities and discontinuities within left-wing currents throughout the twentieth century. We urge moving away from Western-centric perspectives, looking into the broader history of women's activism.

« Suite française », 8/2025
Too often confined in the perimeter of military studies, the concept of débâcle discloses a plurality of dramatic, iridescent, vivid meanings. Facing a defeat means participating in a collective trauma, questioning established certainties, redeeming national identity in the face of a moral and political challenge. Rather than reconstructing the episodes of defeat and rebirth in French history, the eighth call for papers of Suite française invites to reflect on the perception of such episodes and their disruptive psychological and political impact. How were débâcle and similar categories such as décadence, trauma, failure, and renascence used by thinkers witnessing the Terror, Sedan, Vichy, and Dien Bien Phu?
