Israel-Palestine doctoral seminar, Iremam / Mesopolhis #3

After an initial session between January and June 2023, the Israel-Palestine doctoral seminar will be held again in autumn/winter 2023-2024. Organised by Gabriel Terrasson and Théo Borel, doctoral students at IREMAM (UMR 7310) and MESOPOLHIS (UMR 7064), the aim of this public seminar is to provide a monthly meeting place for researchers, post-docs, 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 will be 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, teachers, post-doctoral researchers, doctoral candidates and students from both an epistemological and methodological perspective.

The four 2-hour sessions, scheduled to take place between November and December 2023, will be divided into three parts. The first part will be devoted to a summary presentation of the written work of one of the doctoral students. This will be followed by an argumentative commentary by a post-doctoral student, researcher or teacher-researcher, based on the text provided in advance. Finally, the debate will be opened to the audience for a collective discussion, in particular with the other doctoral students. 

A hybrid format (face-to-face/visioconference) will be used.
