Cet appel s’adresse aux chercheuses et chercheurs de tout statut qui travaillent dans le large spectre des SHS, de l’Antiquité jusqu’à nos jours, sur des thématiques aussi diverses que le patrimoine, le religieux, le pouvoir, le territoire, les rapports sociaux, les circulations, le numérique, le changement climatique, les approches critiques, etc. La journée pourra également aborder les conséquences des crises géopolitiques actuelles sur les terrains et le champ de recherche centrasiatiques.
Les doctorant-e-s sont fortement incité-e-s à soumettre une proposition de communication.
Les propositions de communication devront comprendre un titre, un résumé de 200 mots, ainsi que le nom et l’affiliation de l’auteur/autrice.
