In the framework of the Hello TEMPUS-Reich 90 event, a special conference-concert within the global 2026 Reich series, we are organizing an interdisciplinary colloquium as a core scientific discourse. The colloquium serves as the central scientific component of the event, taking place in the historic Pesti Vigadó before an audience of 120 people. Reserved, personalized seating will be provided for all colloquium participants. The colloquium is built around the keynote lecture by Professor Simha Arom, the world-renowned ethnomusicologist.

Cet événement propose d’explorer la poétique de l’oubli comme une force active de transformation, de création et de reconstruction. Il interroge les liens entre oubli, mémoire, langage et littérature, en s’intéressant notamment aux formes esthétiques de l’absence, du silence, de l’effacement et de la fragmentation. La réflexion s’étend aux enjeux politiques et éthiques de l’archive, aux mémoires postcoloniales ainsi qu’aux nouvelles formes d’oubli liées au numérique et à l’intelligence artificielle. L’objectif est de mettre en lumière les différentes manières dont l’oubli peut produire du sens, renouveler les récits du passé et participer à la recomposition des identités.

La Jeune équipe associée à l’IRD (JEAI LÉSUM) organise sa première école d’automne internationale, intitulée « Migrations étudiantes et enseignement supérieur en Afrique : Genre, expériences et action publique ». Elle souhaite ainsi favoriser une réflexion collective, portée en particulier par les doctorants et jeunes chercheurs, sur les migrations étudiantes intra-africaines, en mobilisant les apports de la sociologie, de l’anthropologie, des sciences de l’éducation, de la psychologie, de la géographie, de l’économie, du droit, des études de genre et des sciences politiques. Les contributions pourront porter sur des recherches empiriques, des réflexions théoriques, des retours d’expérience ou des innovations méthodologiques.

We invite you to join us for the Twentieth Global Studies Conference, the annual meeting of the Global Studies Research Network, taking place 15–17 July at Sorbonne University, Paris, France, and online. The conference is held alongside the Twenty-Second International Conference on Interdisciplinary Social Sciences, reflecting shared commitments to understanding global interdependence, inequality, and the social transformations shaping contemporary life. The Global Studies Research Network brings together scholars, practitioners, policymakers, and educators concerned with large-scale historical, political, economic, and cultural processes that connect societies across borders.

We invite you to join us for the Twentieth International Conference on The Inclusive Museum, the annual meeting of The Inclusive Museum Research Network, to be held at Jagiellonian University, Krakow, Poland, 13-15 September 2027. The 2027 conference explores the special focus, “The Promise of the Museum as a Civic Space for All.” At a time of social fragmentation, democratic strain, cultural contestation, and institutional transformation, museums are being asked to do more than preserve and interpret collections. They are increasingly called upon to act as civic institutions: places where communities gather, difficult histories are confronted, public cultures are shaped, and more inclusive futures are imagined.

Dans un contexte de raréfaction de la ressource en eau et de prise de conscience politique du changement climatique et de ses effets, cette thèse s’intéresse aux transformations des modes de gestion de l’eau dans les Pyrénées occidentales depuis les années 1950, et aux enjeux propres à la reconnaissance de ces savoirs. À partir d’une approche située à l’intersection de l’histoire environnementale et de l’ethnologie, elle analyse les pratiques d’irrigation héritées et les savoirs écologiques traditionnels associés aux socio-hydrosystèmes montagnards. Le projet est d’étudier les processus d’effacement, de transmission, de réactivation via les dynamiques de patrimonialisation de ces pratiques face aux mutations agricoles, aux politiques d’aménagement et aux nouvelles politiques d’adaptation climatique.

We invite you to join us for the Twelfth International Conference on Tourism & Leisure Studies, the annual meeting of the Tourism & Leisure Studies Research Network, taking place 14–15 June 2027 in Niterói, Brazil, and online, hosted by Federal Fluminense University. The Network brings together researchers, educators, practitioners, policymakers, and community stakeholders concerned with tourism and leisure as social, cultural, economic, and environmental phenomena. The annual conference serves as a key meeting point for interdisciplinary inquiry into how tourism and leisure shape places, experiences, and livelihoods across diverse global contexts.

We invite you to join us for the Eighteenth International Conference on Sport & Society, the annual meeting of the Sport & Society Research Network, taking place 17–18 June in Niterói, Brazil, and online, hosted by Federal Fluminense University. Held in Brazil in the period leading up to the Women’s World Cup, the conference brings together scholars, practitioners, educators, policymakers, athletes, advocates, and community leaders concerned with the social, cultural, political, and economic dimensions of sport. The annual conference serves as the Network’s central meeting point for interdisciplinary inquiry into how sport both reflects and reshapes wider social relations.

Jewish law is often presented as a comprehensive, self-contained, and all-encompassing legal system. Yet beyond the classics on the bookshelf and in the classroom, lived experience and theoretical inquiry challenge this conception. To explore these tensions and their implications, the Jewish Law Association invites scholars from a wide range of disciplinary perspectives to reflect on the theme of the Jewish Law Association’s International 2027 Conference, Inside/Outside: Jews, Law, and Jewish Law.

This Call for Papers invites contributions spanning from Prehistory and Antiquity, through the Middle Ages, Early Modern, and Modern periods to the Twenty-first Century. We explore borders and sustainability through human and natural resources, water systems, Pre-Columbian and Post-Columbian American histories, island studies like Rapa Nui, endangered and minority languages, and local history.
