Historical sociology - Session 2. The construction of notions: analytical operators, comparatism and singular concepts

If interdisciplinarity is a buzzword within the academic bureaucracy, it's hard to conclude that it exists in practice. Embracing a slogan does not an epistemology make, and claiming progress is no guarantee of it. To prevent the interdisciplinary approach from being reduced to avant-gardism, it is necessary to define the practical conditions for bringing together the different social sciences, going beyond the encounter between academic disciplines or the eclectic taste for the exotic. The eight sessions of the course presented below will seek to provide both a method for the construction of analytical notions by young researchers in history and sociology, and a set of tools favoring the objectification of scientific work in the social sciences.Session 2 - The construction of notions: analytical operators, comparatism and singular conceptsAs the division of labor between sociology as a producer of notions and history as a source of examples constitutes one of the main epistemological obstacles to a consistent practice of historical sociology, it is necessary to define a method for the elaboration of notions that can serve as analytical operators. In this context, the question of comparatism, a term covering diverse and sometimes contrary practices, appears central.Possibility of following the seminar online via Teams

Doctoral seminar: Aude Hansel and Natassia Schutz

Interdisciplinary collaboration with subject specialists is a key component in the didactics of "Languages for Specific Purposes" (LSP). For LSP teachers, this collaboration makes it possible to devise contextualized courses that integrate both linguistic objectives and disciplinary content. By basing their teaching on a thorough needs analysis, LSP teachers design tailor-made didactic content that precisely meets the communicative requirements of learners in their specialist field.However, the position of LSP teachers within the institution can sometimes make such collaborations less obvious; moreover, it is often LSP teachers who initiate and support exchanges. This workshop aims to deepen understanding of the aforementioned collaborative dynamics, with the aim of improving student learning outcomes by strengthening interdisciplinary connections and fostering an integrated didactic approach.

Doctoral seminar: Nephtali Callaerts

From its formal appearance in the 3rd year of general secondary education in FW-B, the chemistry course takes the form of a program detailing a series of contents to be taught. Within the framework of an internal didactic transposition specific to their activity, teachers are led to estimate their relative importance in the curriculum and to transform them. In the midst of a pandemic or following a prolonged absence, what content will teachers retain, adapt or delete?This research project proposes to study this prioritization of the content to be taught in the chemistry course by the teaching staff. More specifically, this paper focuses on the construction and analysis of a questionnaire investigating the organization of the main chapters (UAA) by chemistry teachers.

Producing glass like the Romans: scientific research with a life-size experiment!

On 15 and 16 July, as part of the Gallo-Roman Rendezvous, the Specularia research project, run by the University of Namur and the Malagne Archaeopark, will be put through its paces in Malagne. This unique and exceptional experiment will give visitors a hands-on opportunity to discover what experimental archaeology is all about and to witness the different stages in the production of Roman window glass. This life-size experiment is part of the second phase of the Spécularia research project led by Géraldine Frère, a doctoral researcher in archaeology at the Institut Patrimoines, Transmissions, Héritages (PaTHs).
