Scienc.e.s: no science without us! Hello everyone, We are the organising committee of Scienc-e-s - No science without us! a multidisciplinary conference committed to inclusivity in science. We would like to promote a science based on respect for the identities and diversity of current and future scientists. This is why we are pleased to announce the first Scienc-e-s conference, which will take place on 14 November 2024 at the Centre de Biologie Intégrative (CBI) in Toulouse. This conference will provide an opportunity to discuss issues that are close to our hearts and that concern us all: the inclusion of people from minority backgrounds in research, gender bias in the academic world, sexist and sexual violence at university, and so on. This conference will also be broadcast by videoconference.
A day of discussions on inclusivity in sciencePlenary talk: Odome Angone (UCAD, Dakar) - Politicising scientific neutrality
For this first edition, we are honoured to welcome Odome Angone, university lecturer and researcher at Cheikh Anta Diop University in Dakar, who will open this day of discussions with a plenary lecture entitled ‘Politicising scientific neutrality’. Odome Angone is a teacher-researcher at Cheikh Anta Diop University. She teaches colonial memory in contemporary Hispano-African and Afrodescendant Spanish literature. Her work explores Africa's contributions to the international trade in ideas, closely linked to perceptions of the imaginary world. Her reflections take in the sociology of identities, Spanish/French Afrodescendence, African feminisms, epistemic justice and the geopolitics of placeless spaces (migrations, international mobilities, asymmetric North-South relations, transnationality, extraterritoriality, cyberactivism, social networks, imaginaries, languages and orality, etc.). She is also a member of the ‘Voces africanas’ research group (Universidad Complutense de Madrid), an associate researcher at IMAF (Institut des Mondes Africains, France) and co-researcher on the ERC Starting Grant research project ‘Afroeurope and Cyberspace: Imaginations of Diasporic Communities, Digital Agency and Poetic Strategies - Unravelling the Textures’ (AFROEUROPECYBERSPACE, 101110473). Since 2023, she has been the Senegal correspondent for the Observatoire Permanent de l'Hispanisme. She is also an active member of the GIRCI: https://girci-ucad.sn/ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Short talks and round tableThe conference will then be followed by a series of short presentations by researchers representing this diversity, who will present their research topics. These presentations are also open to people who are involved in projects to promote inclusivity and diversity in research and education and who would like to showcase them.
The day will conclude with a round table discussion at which the various speakers will be able to share their personal experiences and inclusive research projects with the audience. In this way, we aim to bring together research, experience and reflection on the themes of inclusivity.
Activity: Draw your science!To wrap up the day in style, we invite you to stay for some social time and take part in our activity Draw your science! Paper, pencil, scientists from all backgrounds: in small groups we'll discuss our vision of science and research in a fun activity. It's a fun way to get to know each other, and a good chance to win some goodies!
Registrations are now open!Come and participate to the short talks...We're looking for speakers for our short presentations. These presentations will last 15 minutes each and will preferably be given in English (French is also accepted if you don't speak English).
