Chaque année, l’association des jeunes chercheureuses inscrites en Master et en Doctorat au CESCM, au Criham et à l’HeRMA de l’Université de Poitiers (JANUA) organise une journée d’étude. Cette journée interdisciplinaire, ayant vocation à valoriser les travaux de jeunes chercheur·euses (étudiant·es de Master 2, doctorant·es et post-doctorant·es ayant soutenu leur thèse depuis moins de trois ans), portera en 2026 sur la thématique des Animaux dans les sociétés et les arts de l’Antiquité à nos jours.

Les journées auront lieu les jeudi 16 et vendredi 17 avril 2026.

Université de Poitiers, UFR SHA (campus centre-ville) [précisions ultérieures]

Semi-présentiel. Les communications pourront être assurées à distance, de même que le suivi de la journée d’études.

Toute question devra être adressée au courriel de l’association : association.janua@gmail.com

The newest issue of Springs: The Rachel Carson Center Review is now live! It opens with a dive into the world of comics, before embarking on a fieldtrip across an Arctic research station, Finland’s boreal forests, and the eroding riverbanks of Bangladesh. Three essays, a visual narrative, a short story, and an interview join forces to uncover missing pieces in our quest to understand human–environment interactions. 

Colonial Sanitation Workshop

Modern sanitation has long been tied to systems of power, governance, and social hierarchy. Sanitation is not only about treating sewage, waste disposal, and the supply of fresh water – it involves economy, technology, planning, regulation, and much more. Sanitation also represents cultural values, social justice, and Human-Nature relations. During the 19th-20th centuries, European sanitary ideology spread worldwide, often as a direct product of the colonial project. Sanitation reinforced European notions of “undeveloped” civilizations and legitimized colonial rule by demonstrating European control over territories and living conditions. While sanitary systems improved living conditions for some, they came with environmental and social costs.
This online workshop brings together scholars of any sanitation aspect under colonial rule across the globe in the 19th-20th centuries. We will discuss works in progress, identify common patterns, examine the uniqueness of each study, and gain inspiration and academic feedback on our work. Eventually, we will discuss future collaborations in projects, writing, and conferences. All scholars are welcome to participate in the workshop; however, we especially encourage early-career scholars during their PhD or Postdoctoral studies to apply.

The Oceanic and Maritime History Workshop is inviting submissions to deliver papers during Michaelmas Term 2025 (October to December). This Workshop offers a supportive and informal setting for graduate students and early career researchers (ECRs) to discuss their research.

 The interdisciplinary field of Animal Studies is bringing forth a growing scholarly interest in the subject of human-animal relationships across the humanities and social sciences at large. Animal-centred approaches argue for the vital role of nonhuman animals in people’s individual and collective lives, acknowledging historical entanglements of mutual dependency between human and nonhuman actors.

This panel aims to discuss how animal movement shaped human practices and ways of life throughout different historical periods, and in diverse cultural and geographical contexts. In one hand, debating the importance of the ecological movement of animals, i.e. their natural activity and mobility in shaping people subsistence, settlement and wealth, animal management practices, transhumance, or animal domestication; on the other hand, highlighting the impact of the forced movement of animals, namely their displacement, circulation and involvement in regional and global trade networks.

We encourage the submission from scholars at different career levels, from history and archaeology, but also literature and the arts, in the following topics, or others that fall within the scope of this panel:

• energy generated by the movement of animals;
• animal-human historical migrations;
• animal transport and transport through animals;
• diasporic thinking applied to animals;
• circulation of preserved species, animal body parts and by-products;
• spatial analysis and digital humanities.

Keywords: Animal History; Animal Studies; Multispecies Entanglements; Migration; Diaspora
