Israel-Palestine 2025 doctoral seminar: Karène Sanchez-Summerer, "Multilingualism, monolingualism and identification in Mandate Palestine 1918-1948".

For the third year, the Israel-Palestine doctoral seminar has a new programme. Organised by Gabriel Terrasson and Théo BorelThe aim of this public seminar is to provide a monthly meeting place for researchers, post-doctoral fellows, doctoral students and masters students in the humanities and social sciences whose research focuses on Israeli-Palestinian spaces.

Following on from the Mobilities, Borders and Conflicts in Israeli-Palestinian Spaces ANR programme (2007-2011) and the Palestinian Spatialities and Temporalities research seminar (2017-2020), this interdisciplinary meeting is at the crossroads of anthropology, geography, history, literature, sociology, political science and art. It will provide an opportunity to share the tools, approaches and concepts used by researchers, post-doctoral research teachers, doctoral students and students from both an epistemological and methodological perspective.

Le hybrid format will be in force (face-to-face/visioconference).
