Objective
In this confusing climate, the doctoral school sees itself as a speculative space, a place where people can collectively reflect on the ethical, epistemological, and methodological issues of current research. By encouraging co-creation, dialogue, and stepping outside the usual academic frameworks, it opens up a space where, for the duration of the program, we can imagine what a university more grounded in the concrete realities of the present might look like. By imagining possible futures together, we hope to create a space for sharing, without preconceptions, to describe the doctoral experience as it is lived and as it is dreamed of. In this vein, it is also a question of tracing paths of speculation, from which to explore the forms of university that we would like to help bring about.
Schedule
| Time | Program |
|---|
| 8:30 a.m. | Welcome and coffee |
| 9:00 a.m. | Doing research in a world on fire - Michael Chateauneuf will lead a group discussion on our roles, responsibilities, and possibilities in the current climate context. Together, we will reflect on how to continue thinking today, when everything seems to be burning.
|
| 10:00 a.m. | Research at the Tower of Babel - Through a workshop on language, translation, and gibberish, Nathan Pécout-Lebras and Charlotte Gagnon-Lewis will offer a reflection on confusion. They invite us to rethink these moments, as unavoidable as they are embarrassing, in order to reflect on a research ethic that listens to mistranslations.
|
| 11:00 a.m. | Learning to write for others - In this participatory workshop, Abdelhamid Benhmade will offer a lesson on writing opinion pieces. This session of reflection and practice will lead us to think about our collective role in public debate. More than just a reflection on action, the practice itself will be put into action.

| 12:30 p.m. | Lunch |
| 1:30 p.m. | Anthr’potes: anthropology, popularization, and popular media (bi-modal) - Drawing on their experience in creating the Anthr’potes podcast, Laurence Alain and Vicky Langlois will reflect on popular media and new platforms for sharing science in creative ways.

|
| 2:30 p.m. | Strategies for inhabiting and co-constructing a new form of doctoral school - Clémence Tanneau will close this workshop session by addressing multidisciplinarity. In the current research context, this workshop will invite us to join forces beyond the usual boundaries in order to better think about the research of tomorrow.
|
| 3:30 p.m. | Closing remarks and collective mural - We invite you to close this study day in the style of a guest book, collectively noting insights, discoveries, critiques, and avenues for reflection. This mural will serve as a basis from which future projects can emerge.
