This year,Université Savoie Mont Blanc and its Faculty of Law will be hosting the eighth cycle of "Conférences de Vie Politique Comparée" (Comparative Political Life Lectures), featuring witnesses and researchers in the social sciences and humanities (sociology, philosophy, history) whose work sheds light on major contemporary socio-political issues. For the first time, three meetings will be organized as part of student initiatives, set up and run by students.
The third cycle conference will take place on Thursday, March 7, 2019 , from 1:30 to 3:30 pm, in amphitheater 3 on the Jacob-Bellecombette campus, with Romain Tiquet, on the topic of "Forced labor and labor mobilization in Senegal".
Romain Tiquet, PhD in African history from Berlin's Humboldt University, and currently a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Geneva, is a specialist in issues of policing and labor in French-speaking Africa. His work touches on both the history of decolonization and the early years after independence, and crosses a variety of sources, methodologies and investigative techniques, including legal comparatism and field interviews. He has kindly invited us to attend an absolute preview of his book Travail forcé et mobilisation de la main-d'œuvre au Sénégal (Années 1920-1960), officially published by PUR on March 7, 2019.
