Conference "Concepts of Freedom and the Development of Democracy in Great Britain in Historical Comparison"
Coference "Rebellion, Resistance, and Refuge: Slavery and Border-Crossing during the American Revolution"
On the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, join us for a conference that presents papers that rethink the cultures, events, and experiences of the American Revolutionary War across the liminal borders (regional and proto-national) of British North America. Our organizing premise insists that participants recuperate and center the aspirations, resistance, perspectives, and experiences of enslaved people and communities.

Conference "Recycling in the Cold War Era: Capitalist and Socialist Waste Regimes"
The two-day international workshop will bring together different perspectives on recycling in the Cold War era. It aims at a broader understanding of how capitalist and socialist recycling models were formed, developed, and interacted across historical contexts – including continuities, ruptures, and their impact on global and regional material flows. Our keynote speaker is Zsuzsa Gille with a talk on “Recycling in the Socialocene.”
CfP: L’urgence (dé)forme-t-elle la démocratie ? (French)
Rennes/France
Jusqu’à présent, l’urgence a le plus fréquemment été envisagée au prisme de sa propension à engendrer des états d’exception ainsi qu’à détricoter les processus usuels des démocraties libérales. Partant de cette acception, cette Journée d’étude est une invite à envisager positivement certaines incidences de l’urgence sur la démocratie tant à partir du terreau fertile qu’elle pourrait constituer au bénéfice d’une consolidation et de réinventions démocratiques, qu’à la lumière de discours justifiant l’urgence au profit d’une démocratisation de la démocratie.
