Marie-Vic Ozouf (EHESS) and Nicolas Verdier (CNRS, EHESS), “French Geography Through the Lens of Interdisciplinary, and Through Time”
Moderated by Sandrine Robert (EHESS)
Session in French
In France, geography was, for a long time, the auxiliary science of history before it won its independence by asserting its own epistemology and specific methods. However, it has always maintained links with other sciences. These rely on reciprocal borrowings and cross-fertilizations. In this talk, we shall not engage with the links to the natural sciences, from which the French school of geography has stemmed at the end of the 19th century. We will investigate the links — well before and after the spatial turn – that have brought geography closer to the other social sciences, around objects, concepts, problems and methods.
EHESS Spring talks
EHESS organizes the third edition its “Spring Talks”, that will be held from 27 March to 21 April 2023. The event consists of daily sessions accessible online and it aims at promoting EHESS’s highly original, interdisciplinary, research-based style of pedagogy and training.
Along those four weeks, EHESS will hold fifteen online events to nearly that will enable an international audience to directly engage with thirty of its professors, from all backgrounds, both geographic and disciplinary.
These online talks, intended for international students and scholars, are to be repeated every year. And each year, the event will broach new topics and new approaches in order to progressively encompass the wealth of seminars taught at EHESS, whereby offering insights into its unique inter-disciplinary dimension.
The fifteen talks will offer space for EHESS researchers to engage in one-hour live discussions with a moderator on the topic of their research seminar, in English or in French. For this new edition, the speakers will also be able to present their books or the scientific journals they supervise. The format of the talks envisages some discussion time to which the audience online will be warmly invited to participate.
All sessions will be held at 3:00 pm (Paris time) to be followed widely and will later be made available on the EHESS YouTube channel.
