Sociétés sécularisées aux défis des fondamentalismes religieux
5, 6 et 7 juin 2018, MMSH, amphithéâtre, Aix-en-Provence
Organisé par Florence Bergeaud-Blackler (IREMAM CNRS/AMU) & Joan Stavo-Debauge (THEMA/UNIL)

L’irruption des groupes et des thèses intégralistes dans des lieux stratégiques de production des normes sociales et épistémiques nécessite une mise au point de nos théories, méthodes et champ de recherche en sociologie et anthropologie des religions pour mieux en saisir les spécificités et les dynamiques propres.
L’objectif de ce colloque est de permettre à des auteurs de plusieurs disciplines des sciences humaines et sociales de faire état de leur recherche et de leur réflexion en mettant en relief la façon dont les groupes et mouvements qu’ils étudient font irruption, s’inscrivent et interagissent avec et dans les sphères politiques, économiques, juridiques, éducatives, académiques, médiatiques etc.
Ce colloque international rassemblera des professeurs et chercheurs des sciences sociales et humaines de Belgique, Canada, France et Suisse, engagés dans des réflexions scientifiques et critiques sur les mouvements intégralistes et/ou fondamentalistes religieux dans les sociétés sécularisées.

Defining an innovative path for Africa in the fourth industrial revolution

By Sharon Dell – Africa Editor. In Africa Features, Stephen Coan interviews aspiring Martian, theoretical physicist and innovation expert Adriana Marais about the role of African universities in the fourth industrial revolution. We also interview a unique team of three academics – a father and his two sons – about their new book on African philosophy of education which draws on some of their experiences in setting up and running a massive open online course at the University of Stellenbosch, South Africa. From Nigeria, Tunde Fatunde draws out some detail and implications of the latest government crackdown on illegal universities, while Gilbert Nakweya ponders the efficacy of strike action in Kenyan universities as a means to resolve academics’ grievances.
   In Africa Analysis, Wondwosen Tamrat discusses the pressures on universities in Ethiopia to generate income through their course offerings, and some of the pitfalls involved.
   In News from the continent, Wagdy Sawahel covers the recent violence on Moroccan campuses among student political formations, and Kudzai Mashininga reports on the African Development Bank’s latest investment in higher education aimed at industrialisation.
   In world News, Yojana Sharma outlines an Economist Intelligence Unit ranking of countries’ preparedness for an automation revolution; and in World Blog Hans de Wit highlights a growing need for training for university leaders to strengthen their ability to drive internationalisation, which has moved from the margins to the centre of higher education.
