Brussels, 18-20 November 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since the second half of the 19th century, accelerations in the processes of globalization profoundly transformed human communities throughout the world.<\/p>\n

This event aims at highlighting current research in human sciences around concepts of empire, labour and citizenship and their connections with the long-term history of mankind. During three days, researchers in history, anthropology and political sciences are invited to reflect together on how political superstructures, workforce management and the making of collective identities contributed to shape today\u2019s globalized societies.<\/p>\n

The conference will be closed by a lecture of Pr. Frederick Cooper (New York University), a leading scholar in the History of (post)colonial Africa, and a major contributor to academic debates on these topics.<\/p>\n
