RESEARCH THEMES
The Paris IAS and Université Paris-Saclay offer a 6-month research chair in the academic year 2018-2019 and one in the year 2019-2020 on one of the structuring themes supported by the research teams in the humanities and social sciences at Université Paris-Saclay. These cross-disciplinary themes are intended for researchers in all disciplines of the HSS: anthropology, economics, geography, history, law, literature and the arts, management, philosophy, political science, sociology… The chair aims to promote excellent, high risk and/or transdisciplinary research offering new perspectives for the HSS.
Applicants are encouraged to submit a research proposal within one the following themes:
Markets, businesses, work and innovation:
Researches related to work, its diversity, regulations and problems. The proposals can deal with businesses as organizations or institutions, or examine the regulations of companies, institutions, markets and private and public administrations. The dynamics of innovation can also be covered by the proposals.
Heritage, cultures and knowledge:
The proposals can deal with the past or present logics of granting heritage status (“Patrimonialisation”), whether the heritage is cultural, scientific or technical. Reflections on the circulation of knowledge, and in particular scientific and technical knowledge, are welcome, as well as projects investigating more particularly the links between cultures, knowledges and society through the lens of “patrimonialisation” processes.
Sciences and society
As a result of the specialization of the Maison des sciences de l’Homme Paris-Saclay in the interdisciplinary work linking the HSS (including law) and the natural sciences, the present call is extended to include proposals on the relations between sciences and society. Examples include –but are not limited to– themes such as climate change, energy, algorithms, biotechnologies, health, etc.
