Young Scholars workshop in Paris: "A Space for ‘Place’ in Social Sciences"

(13-14 December 2023)

This two-day workshop provides young scholars (PhD students) the space to present and exchange their research on the role of ‘place’ in social sciences. We aim at nurturing a transdisciplinary discussion between PhD candidates by bringing together various perspectives of place-sensitive research. In doing so we help early career researchers to gather experience, inspire each other and build transdisciplinary networks.

The workshop takes place in the facilities of Sciences Po Paris. It will consist of two days of panel discussions (Wednesday 13th afternoon and Thursday 14th all-day) and social events in the evening. Panels will comprise two to three presentations of 15 to 20 minutes each followed by an open discussion with the workshop participants. Senior researchers of the CEE (Centre for European Studies and Comparative Politics) will act as moderators of the panels. An opening session will include a short address from the organising team, welcome words from the director of the CEE, Florence Faucher as well as a key-note speech of a distinguished scholar in the field. A closing event will allow for a common moment of reflection on take-away notes and potential future collaborations that emerged from the discussions.
