Colloque « Villes et Migrations » – 29 & 30 Mars
Les 29 et 30 mars se tiendra le colloque « Villes et migrations: perspectives théoriques et pratiques » au Collège des Bernardins.
Organisé par Sciences Po et l’USPC (Projet INAME), il réunira des universitaires, des professionnels, des personnels associatifs pour ouvrir un dialogue interdisciplinaire autour des reconfigurations urbaines des migrations.
Phénomène transnational par définition, les migrations font généralement l’objet des réflexions sur les coopérations interétatiques ou les institutions régionales ou internationales. On cherche alors à dépasser le cadre de l’État-nation en faisant appel à des entités plus grandes. Notre démarche consiste à analyser le changement d’échelle vers des entités plus petites : pourquoi, comment et avec quelles conséquences les pratiques et les normes de l’accueil se déplacent vers les villes ? Quelles sont les conséquences de cette véritable prise de pouvoir par les villes sur la gestion et la compréhension des migrations ?
L’inscription est obligatoire, écrire à villesetmigrations2016@gmail.com
Comité d’organisation: Astrid von Busekist, Benjamin Boudou et Capucine Truong

CFP: Sciences Po 4th Graduate Political Theory Conference
We are happy to announce that the Fourth Sciences Po Graduate Political Theory Conference is going to take place at Sciences Po, Paris, 21-22 June, 2016.
We welcome contributions from young political theorists across the board and intend to accommodate various approaches to political theory (analytical, historical, normative and critical). We also aim at geographic diversity, in that we shall try to foster a substantial academic dialogue between young political theorists from Europe and their peers across the world.
Chantal Mouffe (University of Westminster) will deliver the keynote address. The work of Chantal Mouffe covers a broad range of topics regarding democratic theory, post-marxism and the critique of liberal politics. She has written extensively on issues related to the Gramscian concept of hegemony, the discursive construction of political subjects, agonistic pluralism and radical democracy, and has touched on subjects such as European politics, citizenship, feminism and artistic practices. Contributions that touch upon any of these subject-matters are encouraged, but we welcome proposals on other topics as well.
Only graduate students who have not defended their PhD are eligible. Each two hours-long session of the conference will concentrate on two to three papers and will be chaired by a Sciences Po graduate student. Presentations will be followed by a Q&A session open to the public.
Breakfast, lunch and refreshments will also be provided for the duration of the conference. Unfortunately, Sciences Po will not be able to provide funds for housing and transportation.
