For Henri Lefebvre, author of the concept of the right to the city, the urban margins are a privileged place of observation, as it is there that the narrative of the city is revealed. His thought develops from the threshold that divides and shatters the urban space, separating the wealthiest groups from the most vulnerable groups.
Will Lefebvre’s perspective, key to reading the processes of accumulation and expropriation in societies shaped by more mature capitalism, remain relevant in light of the socio-spatial problems raised by urban neoliberalism ? This is the question that we want to address in the proposed special issue, from a specific attention to the urban margins of contemporary metropolises both in the Euro-North American context treated by Lefebvre and in the post-colonial context of the global south.
In both contexts, Lefebvre’s observation in relation to the traits of a “new internal colonialism” (1972, p. 43) becomes pertinent when considering the way in which post-war urban development separates hyper-developed areas from areas abandoned to poverty and underdevelopment. This view is thus close to Fanon and his attention to the way in which the idea of ??race and the processes of racialization operate together with class and space, producing “compartmentalized cities” (1968, pp. 23-75). We rediscover this perspective in the theorization of a modern dual cartography (Santos, 2007), which corresponds to a system of distinctions that, having its genesis in European expansion and colonialism, today crosses the heart of the old metropolises. Distinguishing and separating hegemonic knowledge and practices, which assert themselves as universal, from areas of non-being (Fanon, 1968), such compartmentalization denies the co-presence of diverse forms of knowledge, representation and action on the world.
On the other hand, the urban issue is also a spatial form of struggle against inequality, fostering new resistance and the testing of alternatives. It is part of a wider space-time dialectic, with the dual purpose of global liberation and everyday emancipation (Fanon, 1968, pp. 105-106). A group of researchers, linked to scientific currents that promote academic engagement in urban transformation processes, have been embracing alternative strategies that look at urbanization as a mode, rather than a model : as something organic and collectively dynamic, opposed to the modernist/ pre-established and pre-defined colonial/capitalist, which simultaneously takes cities as territories in resistance, power and emancipation, framed in the line of decolonization of the territory advocated by authors such as Zibechi (2015) or Ela (2013), fostering a greater distribution of public resources and stimulating the specificity of the way of life of the place.
In this volume, we intend to question and document the urban transformation experienced today, based on focused research - conceptually and empirically - on the urban margins of contemporary metropolises and taking into account the way in which three planes intersect, in concrete terms - like the elements of an experience chemistry - react together in the urban space : the question of class and the ethnic-racial question, already discussed, to which, crucially, the question of gender is added. How do these three plans complicate and problematize the contradictions of the new contemporary neoliberal urban model ? We invite the presentation of articles with an interdisciplinary approach, crossing all disciplines with a focus on critical urban studies.
We propose some points to develop :
1. How did the compartmentalization of the city specifically pointed out by Fanon evolve in the present context ?
2. At a time when the suburbs of the largest metropolises in the global north and south are increasingly crossed by populisms that threaten democracy, what emancipatory resistances can we identify ?
3. The protagonism of women in urban struggles is increasingly important and much feminist literature highlights a political role of the concept of “care” in new forms of “production of space”. What agency is this and how is it related, today, with the urban issue ?

PRESENTATION
The Gulbenkian Commission had in its 1996 report “Opening the Social Sciences” discussed the present situation in the social sciences, but not given clear answers for their future development, as has been criticised in the sociological discourse (Wearne 1998 in “The American Sociologist”). What opening towards the future meant remained unclear : it was not a clear plea for an opening towards inter- and transdisciplinary knowledge creation and integration, that was already on the way at that time. Moreover, the report did not answer, how the social sciences can, after the two liberations from the church and the state in the course of modernisation, liberate from the third dependence that is dominant today, that from economic power, business and marketing control, as Wearne writes.
The thematic issue planned has the aim to assess and reflect the experience with the interdisciplinary opening of the social sciences since the Gulbenkian report, that happened in paradigmatic forms with the concepts of inter- and transdisciplinarity, describing new forms of knowledge production. Both terms include a variety of knowledge practices that show similarities. In this issue we want to collect about 15-20 articles that analyse the interdisciplinary trends in human ecology and the environmental sciences, where sociological and ecological knowledge is required and needs to be integrated. The oldest interdisciplinary subject in this sense, the core theme of the special issue, is human ecology ; newer subjects originating from that in the course of the 20th century include cultural-, social-, and political ecology. Recent developments include sustainability science and transformation research, that show the connections to the interdisciplinary discourses about sustainable development in science and politics.
The new interdisciplinary knowledge practices were since the end of the 20th century intensively discussed in epistemological debates about “new knowledge production” (mode 2, interdisciplinarity, transdisciplinarity, post-normal science). Also the European Union has in its funding of research supported the interdisciplinary opening of social scientific research, as the calls and reports from recent years show. The joint feature of the new approaches in interdisciplinary science is their distancing from the conventional forms of academic science and research based on disciplinary and sub-disciplinary specialisation (mode 1). Knowledge integration between disciplines and cooperation between scientists from different disciplines, practitioners and citizen are main features of the new approaches, that spread quickly in some fields, especially in environmental research, where the integration of social-and natural-scientific knowledge became necessary.
The importance of the new inter- and transdisciplinary approaches is justified with two arguments :
the limited perspectives of specialized academic research (mode 1), that does not deal adequately with such complex social and environmental problems as climate change, biodiversity loss, land use change, urbanisation, population growth and its management, exponential economic growth, globalisation and its social and environmental consequences, social inequality and the digital divide, or problems of sharing resources more fairly between countries, as discussed in the sustainability discourse;
specialized academic knowledge does not address sufficiently problems that come with the transfer and application of scientific knowledge in social practices of resource use and other fields of action.
In the issue should be included examples from the practice of interdisciplinary research (how is it done), and of the application of such research in resource use practices, policy and governance processes.

This special issue will be published on December 2023.

Configurações: Revista de Ciências Sociais | N.º 33/2024: Discrimination and diversity on work and organizations (extended deadline)
Revista Configurações: Journal of Social Sciences, edited by the Interdisciplinary Centre of Social Sciences - Pole of University of Minho, is accepting papers for a new issue (no. 33/2024), on " Discrimination and diversity on work and organizations", to be published in June 2024.
New deadline for paper submissions: 22 June 2023
Coordenação: Carolina Machado, Emília Fernandes, João Leite Ribeiro e Regina Leite (CICS.NOVA.UMinho, Departamento de Gestão da Escola de Economia e Gestão, Universidade do Minho).
Apelo a contributos:
Apesar do conhecimento universal do direito à igualdade e à não-discriminação no emprego e no trabalho, a discriminação racial e étnica, baseada no género, orientação sexual, idade, aparência física, deficiências físicas e mentais, classe social, estatuto socioeconómico e educacional, localização geográfica, religião e identidade nacional, continua a afetar milhões de trabalhadores. Este cenário de desigualdade produz obstáculos no acesso ao mercado de trabalho e às condições de emprego (e.g., oportunidades de progressão de carreira, remuneração, formação). Mais ainda, reflete-se nas fronteiras entre trabalho e não trabalho, nomeadamente no uso do tempo, na qualidade de vida e nas expectativas ligadas aos vários domínios da vida humana e social. A literatura recente continua a evidenciar os contextos de trabalho como espaços de discriminação cumulativa que perpetuam e complexificam o modo como a desigualdade opera com base na diferença e na interseccionalidade das várias categorias sociais acima identificadas. Devido às conturbações económicas e financeiras, à intensificação dos fluxos migratórios, crises na saúde publica, e inovações tecnológicas, de que é exemplo paradigmático a introdução da Inteligência Artificial no contexto laboral, o trabalho tem sofrido transformações profundas que resultam na reconfiguração das profissões e em novas formas de conceção e execução do trabalho e da hierarquia organizacional. O cenário assim traçado tem resultado num aumento da precariedade e vulnerabilidade no emprego, nas profissões e nas organizações para os grupos socialmente minoritários, tornando os espaços de trabalho crescentemente opressivos e violentos. Todavia, os movimentos sociais e ativistas têm paulatinamente conquistado direitos e voz na defesa das minorias nas esferas pública e privada, levando a uma crescente atenção da gestão para uma visão mais complexa e articulada da diversidade e do seu potencial criativo e inovador para as organizações e seus ambientes sociais. Fruto dessa maior visibilidade das minorias e da tomada de consciência das várias partes envolvidas, as organizações começam a reinventar formas de acolher e integrar a heterogeneidade da força do trabalho e de conceber as estruturas e as dinâmicas relacionais organizacionais.
Esta chamada de artigos pretende renuir trabalhos académicos que explorem o modo como a desigualdade e a diversidade se manifestam e são justificadas nas relações de trabalho a partir de diferentes quadros teóricos e metodológicos. Especificamente, visa acolher contributos que se incluam, embora não de modo limitativo, nas seguintes linhas de orientação:
a) Desafios no/ contornos do acesso ao emprego e à progressão de carreira por parte das minorias;
b) Formas de discriminação (formais e informais) no contexto laboral;
c) Desafios da diversidade para a gestão;
d) Constrangimentos e estratégias individuais de gestão do trabalho e não-trabalho;
e) Novas formas de trabalho e suas consequências para a discriminação e gestão da diversidade nas organizações.
f) Sistemas e processos de inclusão/exclusão e culturas organizacionais.
g) Abordagens legais e políticas para lidar com a discriminação no local de trabalho.
As propostas devem ser endereçadas à Direção da Revista, através do e-mail configuracoes_cics@ics.uminho.pt, até ao dia 22 de maio de 2023. Recomenda-se aos/ às autores/as a leitura das normas de publicação, disponíveis em https://journals.openedition.org/configuracoes/16576.

INTRODUÇÃO
Quase três anos depois do início da pandemia e da imposição de políticas com fortes impactos negativos nas indústrias do turismo, lazer e restauração, as cidades portuguesas enfrentam um futuro complexo. A crescente inflação e o agravamento da crise energética europeia a partir do outono de 2022-2023 configuram um cenário difícil e incerto. Atualmente, o risco de pobreza atinge quase 20% da população portuguesa – cerca de 2 milhões de pessoas, sobretudo mulheres, idosos e famílias monoparentais – e os preços da habitação aumentaram de forma muito significativa na segunda metade da década de 2010.
Por outro lado, a atual transição ecológica urbana promovida pelo programa Next Generation Europe coloca novos desafios no que respeita à reestruturação morfológica e espacial das cidades e, mais particularmente, às novas formas de planeamento e governança urbanos que devem integrar a digitalização progressiva do âmbito económico, social e cultural da vida quotidiana das cidades, a descarbonização e uma maior participação cidadã no desenho de cidades mais ecológicas. De facto, cada vez mais evidências indicam que, no atual caminho para a construção de um Portugal mais competitivo, resiliente, inclusivo e sustentável, a transição para o “capitalismo verde” está a produzir ‘novas’ desigualdades urbanas e a aprofundar velhas desigualdades que têm vindo a caracterizar o Portugal urbano na contemporaneidade.
OBJECTIVOS DO LIVRO
O livro “O antes e o depois da pandemia no Portugal Urbano: desafios e propostas para um futuro mais igualitário, inclusivo e sustentável” visa realizar um exercício de análise empírica comparativa entre o Portugal urbano antes e depois da pandemia de COVID-19. O livro, que tem por objetivo oferecer um espaço de debate científico interdisciplinar e de acesso aberto, será estruturado em quatro grandes partes: habitat, governança, sustentabilidade e coesão. Além de apresentar uma análise comparativa entre os dois períodos/momentos referidos, cada capítulo apresentará propostas ao nível local e/ou nacional para contribuir para que o mote dos fundos Next Generation "não deixaremos ninguém para trás" deixe de ser uma frase de marketing político e se transforme numa lista de medidas, acções, ferramentas e estratégias socioterritoriais consequentes e eficazes.
ENVIO DE PROPOSTAS
Os coordenadores do livro convidam a comunidade académica a enviar resumos até 750 palavras, contendo informações essenciais sobre o quadro teórico-conceptual do manuscrito, os seus objectivos, a metodologia utilizada, os principais resultados obtidos, bem como um breve resumo das conclusões.

PRESENTATION
At the time of writing this special issue proposal (November 2022), the night in many cities in the Global South and Global North is glowing again after more than two and a half years of night-time curfews and forced closures of nightlife-related businesses. Today, every weekend, tens of thousands of people go out to dine, meet friends or even dance ; thousands more work at night in back-office and logistics centres, supply centres, essential services and health institutions ; many (consumers of cultural and leisure activities, and workers) use night-time public transport, digital ride-hailing platforms, or even take their own vehicle to cross the city. Meanwhile, a number (difficult to quantify, but significant) of informal workers (e.g., domestic workers, street food vendors, street dealers, and male, female and transgender sex workers) carry out their activities at night, some of them taking advantage of the liminal anonymity of darkness.
Undoubtedly, the increase in urban economic, cultural and nightlife activity presents a truly surprising range of tangible and intangible dimensions that has to date been little addressed by the scholar community. On the one hand, the concept of ’urban night’ also implies the existence of a ’non-urban night’ that includes not only rural nights, but also metropolitan (suburban or peri-urban) nights. All of these kind of ’nights’ are largely unknown knowledge areas that deserve more academic attention. After all, the economic importance of urban centres is inversely proportional to the volume of population of suburban and metropolitan territories. Interestingly, these territories shelter fascinating night scenes that are in most cases unknown to the central city. Their dimension for the development - for example - of the cultural avant-garde, alternative, alter/anti-capitalist and in some cases even depatriarchalising, has so far not received sufficient academic (journalistic or political) attention. On the other hand, ’the night’ can be seen as a space-time of cultural production and consumption in its different formal and informal, institutional and non-institutional versions. In the formation of this very particular space-time, the symbolic, emotional and affective permeates all spatial, social, cultural and economic phenomena at night.
To speak of ’the night’ is also to speak in environmental terms and of the different discursive conflicts that arise in the conception and exercise of the governance of ’the night’. One example of this is the promotion of commercial nightlife as a central element of the tourism industry in the face of the systematic breach of the constitutional right to physical integrity (i.e. rest and sleep) and its impact on the individual physical and mental health of populations living in neighbourhoods characterised by the strong presence of nightlife establishments. Another example, among several that currently exist, is the lighting of public spaces as a safety mechanism in the face of the so-called “right to a dark sky” or the impact of noise pollution on vertebrates, invertebrates and plant species, both in terrestrial and aquatic environments.
Talking about the night also means looking at both the past and the future simultaneously. On the one hand, recovering the retrospective image of the Roaring Twenties of the last century to predict what the return to normality would be like, or even claiming the material and immaterial cultural heritage character of nightlife establishments with decades of life in the face of their definitive closure due to hotel speculation or institutional-police pressure, brings us back to the fundamental importance of reconstructing nightlife (not only urban) of the past. It is precisely this historiographical exercise of our social and cultural life in the past through the analytical lens of the ’night’ that allows us to claim the importance of the ’Whos’ and ’Hows’ when writing our historical memory (which is a memory also written at night). Full knowledge of our past and our present, without nuances or rose-tinted colours to sweeten it, allows us to reflect, debate and (self-)determine what future we want and what means should be mobilised to achieve it.
This special issue, edited by Jordi Nofre (CICS.NOVA, Portugal), Manuel García-Ruiz (CIES, ISCTE-IUL, Portugal), and Alejando Mercado Celis (CISAN-UNAM, Mexico) aims to build a space for interdisciplinary and open access scientific debate on one of the least explored research topics to date in the Social Sciences and Humanities : the night. This special issue, “Nocturnal Cities : Past, present, and future” aims to bring together scientific articles written from the fields of Social Sciences and Humanities, as well as Life Sciences, Health Sciences, Physics, Chemistry, Economics or Law that contain a clear interdisciplinary integration with one or more disciplines of the Social Sciences and Humanities. Manuscripts may be written in Portuguese, Spanish, French or English.
The number of articles foreseen for the dossier ranges between 6 and 10 and will be published in the journal Forum Sociológico (a Portuguese prestigious, indexed OAJ) in December 2023.

Seminário Internacional Projeto MAIs
Deadline for abstract submission: 28 February 2023
É reconhecido o papel fundamental que as mulheres detêm na construção de sociedades democráticas e sustentáveis, a diferentes e múltiplos níveis e dimensões. Todavia, são cada vez mais claras as desigualdades e discriminações a que as mulheres são sujeitas, sendo estas discriminações multifacetadas e complexas. Assim, refletir estas questões evoca a necessidade de cruzar diferentes olhares sobre esta problemática, promovendo diálogos entre diferentes disciplinas e modos de construção de conhecimento.
Este foi precisamente, um dos vários desafios do projeto MAIs - Mulheres Agricultoras em Territórios do Interior, que se encontra na reta de conclusão dos trabalhos. Para simbolizar este momento conclusivo, o projeto MAIs está a organizar o seu seminário internacional final, a ter lugar dia 21 de abril (mais informações em breve!).
Em virtude , deste Seminário Internacional, a comissão organizadora do mesmo convida à apresentação de trabalhos e resultados de outros projetos, que possam contribuir para uma reflexão mais ampla e aumentar o impacto e a visibilidade do trabalho que se desenvolve um pouco por toda a parte.
Neste sentido, convidamos a que enviem o resumo dos trabalhos que queiram propor até 28 de fevereiro de 2023 para o endereço de e-mail mais2020pv@gmail.com
Por se tratar de um encontro presencial, o número de vagas é limitado. Inscrição gratuita, mas obrigatória: AQUI

Configurações | Special issue - Human trafficking, anti-trafficking and critical perspectives
Journal Configurações, edited by CICS.NOVA.UMinho, has an open call for papers within the scope of the thematic dossier Trafficking in persons, anti-trafficking and critical perspectives.
Submission deadline: January 30, 2023.
Guest Editors: Mara Clemente (CIES-Iscte) and Cecilia Varela (CONICET-UBA).
Context: In recent decades, few problems have drawn public attention like “human trafficking”. Since 2022, the conflict in Ukraine has only renewed the presence and extraordinary capacity for indignation and mobilization of images such as those of women and children, described as defenceless objects of brutality and violence by international criminal networks. At the political level, attention to trafficking is no less intense and anti-trafficking agreements and instruments have historically enjoyed great support at the international level. In short, trafficking is a concern and is firmly present in national and international political and social agendas. However, empirical study and research on trafficking has problematized both the dominant idea of ??trafficking and the anti-trafficking interventions it gave rise to. Although described in public discourse as a violation of human rights, trafficking is conceived by different states primarily as a crime that threatens state security and national interests. As a result, the fight against trafficking has led to responses that are based mainly on increasing controls and chasing criminals, without substantial concern for other social and political dimensions, i.e., the role of current migration policies. and work and its impact on the lives of migrants with less social and economic capital. In turn, simplified and stereotyped representations of “trafficking victims” have rarely contributed to “protection” practices that respect their expectations and life needs.
This thematic dossier aims to bring together articles that mobilize critical perspectives in the study of trafficking and anti-trafficking. In particular, research contributions are requested inside and outside Europe, from different disciplinary approaches, related to the following questions:
(i) Representations of trafficking and its protagonists (from the “victims” and their “traffickers”) by anti-trafficking agents and their impact on policies and practices of “prevention”, “protection” and “punishment”;
(ii) Governmental and non-governmental organizations, their national and transnational networks, and the roles played (and not played) in the field of combating trafficking;
(iii) Academics, organizations of sex workers, migrant organizations, trade unions and other agents and their potentialities and limitations in the production of knowledge about human trafficking and the development of intervention policies and practices;
(iv) Criminal policies for the pursuit and fight against trafficking, its agents, deployment and effects.
The proposals must be addressed to the Journal's Management, via the e-mail configurações_cics@ics.uminho.pt. People interested in submitting proposals are recommended to read the publication rules, available here.
Deadline for article submission: 31 december 2022
A discussão acerca da regionalização está de volta. Uma das questões mais polémicas e controversas da sociedade portuguesa, pelas implicações que pode ter ao nível da reorganização político-administrativa do território, a regionalização surge novamente como possibilidade. Depois da publicação, em 2019, de um relatório produzido pela Comissão Independente para a Descentralização, que lançava algumas pistas para a sua concretização num horizonte de curto prazo, o governo comprometeu-se a criar condições para a realização de um novo referendo já em 2024. Importa, pois, refletir sobre aquilo que pode estar em causa, tendo em conta a passagem do tempo e as transformações sociais, económicas, políticas e culturais ocorridas na sociedade portuguesa desde a realização do anterior referendo em 1998. Este volume coletivo, provisoriamente intitulado “(Re)visitar a Regionalização, 25 anos depois”, pretende apresentar, do ponto de vista académico, diversas perspetivas acerca desta temática, promovendo a construção de novo conhecimento no domínio da organização político-administrativa do território português. Os destinatários desta publicação são os académicos - docentes, estudantes -, decisores públicos e outros interessados nesta problemática.
Normas para submissão:
Os autores deverão enviar os originais para um dos editores desta publicação, disponíveis neste documento, fazendo referência ao título da publicação.
Os originais não poderão exceder as 8000 (oito mil) palavras, incluindo título, resumo, notas, figuras, referências bibliográficas e anexos.
Os textos a submeter não deverão ser assinados, salvo em casos devidamente justificados, por mais de quatro autores.
Além do título do artigo, o texto deverá ser acompanhado por 2 resumos do artigo (um em português e outro em inglês) com um máximo de 800 caracteres cada. Os resumos serão seguidos, em português e em inglês, de palavras-chave, até ao limite de 5. Na publicação os gráficos, mapas, diagramas, etc. deverão ser designados por “figuras” e as tabelas por “quadros”.
As referências bibliográficas deverão seguir a norma APA (7a edição).

Apelo a contributos
No último dia de 2019, o escritório chinês da Organização Mundial de Saúde tomou conhecimento da existência de uma pneumonia de etiologia desconhecida que afetava residentes em Wuhan. Rapidamente se percebeu que estávamos perante um vírus que, alastrando à velocidade dos aviões que cruzam os céus do planeta, se transformou numa nova pandemia. Por causa de um agente patogénico, fomos confrontados com uma ameaça que se generalizou e vai ceifando vidas, agora de modo menos intenso. Aparentemente nada de novo… A história está tingida de pandemias, algumas das quais mataram em número bem maior à atual. Se a epidemia confronta as nossas sociedades hipertecnológicas com o facto, sistematicamente obnubilado, de não estarmos fora da natureza, pelo que as nossas vidas são condicionadas e até eliminadas por ela – logo, não podendo ser pensadas, ignorando-a –, as respostas dos governos suscitam interpelações que renovam a urgência do debate sobre o Estado. A bem dizer, a pandemia alertou-nos para a força dos dispositivos estatais, não só mostrando que nada há de fatalismo nas escolhas políticas que se faz, nomeadamente, no campo económico, como também que o Estado está equipado de recursos e instrumentos de controlo que convocam Giorgio Agamben e o seu conhecido conceito de estado de exceção, aliás, discutido por Walter Benjamin no seu Zur Kritik der Gewalt de 1921. Como hipótese provável, já não se trata de ver o estado de exceção no horizonte das nossas vidas, ele é já a forma do Estado. Ainda que não existindo uma coincidência perfeita de argumentos, Shoshana Zuboff considera que o atual Estado capitalista é dominado pelo excecionalismo de vigilância, quer dizer, aquilo que era exceção, só se aplicando a situações e indivíduos particulares, como a guerra e os terroristas, passou a aplicar-se de forma generalizada e permanente. Os sistemas de vigilância, incluindo os que vigiam as nossas comunicações, como nos mostraram Edward Snowden e Julian Assange – este, objeto de uma ação de lawfare – são parte fundamental do estado de exceção, suscitando interpelações sobre o modo como se exerce o controlo legal, ideológico e sanitário das populações. Como esta configuração do Estado capitalista tem de ser compreendida considerando também as duas mudanças decisivas em curso – a da quarta revolução tecnocientífica e industrial (indústria 4.0) e a da riqueza, conhecimento e poder para o Oriente –, serão bem acolhidas propostas de artigos que, alicerçados em diferentes enfoques disciplinares, teóricos e metodológicos, contribuam para o debate crítico sobre o Estado e seus dispositivos de controlo e vigilância, facultando ao/à leitor/a o aprofundamento do seu conhecimento, em particular, acerca dos seguintes tópicos:
As propostas devem ser endereçadas à Direção da Revista, através do e-mail configuracoes_cics@ics.uminho.pt, até ao dia 15 de outubro de 2022. Recomenda-se aos/ às autores/as a leitura das normas de publicação, disponíveis em https://journals.openedition.org/configuracoes/14779 e aqui.

Abstract
In recent years, we have seen a violent attack on the values of democracy. The growth of populism and authoritarian governments has contributed to a democratic backlash. In this context of threat to liberal democracy, citizenship and civic participation are also at risk. It is therefore urgent to reflect upon the growth of these trends, but above all it is necessary to understand that in a scenario dominated by media and digital communication, as well as by disinformation, it is essential to
develop literacy for citizenship, participation and democracy.
Description and Framework
In recent years there have been several phenomena put democratic values to the test, to the point that we now can speak of a regression of liberal democracies around the world (V-Dem 2020; Democracy Index, 2019). The political transformations that have taken place in countries such as Hungary, Turkey or Brazil, with the election of populist leaders and the constitution of anti-democratic governments, are just some of the visible faces of a larger problem, which reaches its maximum expression with the increase in the number of autocracies, which is now higher than that of democracies, something that has not occurred since 2001 (V-Dem, 2020, p. 6).
Researchers have explained most of these transformations based on the idea that citizens no longer trust “the political system and democratic institutions” (Belchior, 2015). This mistrust would be at the origin of citizens' discontent and at the base of their adherence to populist politicians, who defend nationalist or protectionist measures, as well as restrictions to individual freedoms and rights.
The media have been used, in this process, as the main channel to transmit populist ideas. When the media are not available, digital platforms are the privileged vehicles to attack traditional media, convey disinformation and encourage the polarization of discourses. In this context, the question that arises is whether citizens are prepared to understand and critically assess the diversity of messages to which they are exposed in contemporary society.
The fast pace at which information circulates, especially in the digital world, combined with the transformations that have taken place in the production of content (Bruns, 2007; Anderson, Bell & Shirky, 2014), have reinforced the importance of promoting media and digital literacy as a democratic development strategy. Critical understanding and active participation are thus the basis of all democracies, as the absence of these competences prevents certain sectors of society from making informed choices, exposing them to false content and affecting the nature and quality of public debate.
In this context we understand that it is necessary to consolidate scientific knowledge and the perception that citizens have about the democratic process, civic participation and citizenship. It is not simply a matter of analyzing what the public knows about politicians or political institutions. Thinking about literacy for citizenship and democracy is to enter the broader field of identifying a set of competencies without which citizens would not be able to act critically, in a democratic context. In this sense, this call for papers aims to collect theoretical and empirical contributions that can help to reflect on the importance of this kind of literacy for citizenship and democracy, and more specifically what skills should be developed and what tools can be used to help combat democratic backlash. Among others, it seeks to obtain answers to the following questions: How to prepare citizens to participate critically in the democratic process? What kind of knowledge, attitudes and skills are essential for the exercise of citizenship in the digital age? To whom should media literacy actions be addressed? What strategies can help foster young people's interest in democracy?
Objectives and approaches
Considering that literacy for citizenship and democracy is the central axis of this call for papers, we seek contributions that take into account the following topics, (although not limited to them):

Apelo a contributos
O conflito é um fenómeno transversal a todas as dimensões da vida humana. Preocupações com a guerra e a paz estão, assim, na obra de psicólogos/as e sociólogos/as desde o início das suas ciências. Entendido paradoxalmente quer como acionador de desenvolvimento pessoal e societal (e.g., promove mudanças sociais, estimula novos pensamentos, ajuda a formar o sentido de identidade pessoal e social), quer como propulsor do rompimento das relações interpessoais a todos os níveis (e.g., horrores da guerra, violência entre países, inimizades em famílias), o conceito de conflito tem vindo a ser cada vez mais abrangente e considerado estruturante no sentido de incluir toda a diversidade de processos que integra o ser humano (sentir, pensar e agir). As noções teóricas sobre o conflito e as perspetivas de análise do mesmo evoluíram progressivamente de um conceito circunscrito a meras ações adversas com base na inevitável perceção de escassez de recursos para abordagens mais integradoras, da Psicologia, da Sociologia e de outras Ciências Sociais, que incluem, além da análise de estados psicológicos antagónicos dos/as protagonistas, os processos comportamentais, cognitivos e emocionais que ocorrem, simultaneamente, em situações conflituais. O facto de existir algum consenso sobre os conflitos funcionarem com base na escalada irracional tem alavancado, científica e tecnicamente, grandes avanços no sentido de o foco não estar apenas na sua resolução, mas também na sua gestão construtiva aos mais diferentes níveis da realidade (e. g., escola, família, organizações, política, justiça e saúde, entre outras). Nesse sentido, entendemos que será útil debater, neste vasto campo, questões relacionadas com as diferentes metodologias de gestão construtiva de conflitos, a importância da negociação como pilar essencial das democracias, a utilidade da mediação em diferentes âmbitos de aplicação, a relevância da arbitragem e da conciliação como meios alternativos de justiça e a construção de uma cultura de paz.
Para este número/ dossiê temático, são bem-vindos manuscritos que versem, entre outros, sobre:
Dando-se especial destaque a artigos assentes em investigação empírica, serão consideradas, igualmente, revisões da literatura relativa a assuntos de manifesto interesse para o desenvolvimento desta área temática, artigos com descrição e análise de projetos no âmbito da gestão construtiva de conflitos, reflexões com base em relatos de experiências profissionais em contexto de negociação e/ou mediação e recensões críticas de obras relevantes para a análise psicossocial das áreas do conflito, negociação e mediação.
As propostas devem ser endereçadas à Direção da Revista, através do e-mail configuracoes_cics@ics.uminho.pt, até ao dia 15 de junho de 2022. Recomenda-se aos/ às autores/as a leitura das normas de publicação, disponíveis em https://journals.openedition.org/configuracoes/12189

ICNS.LX3 | International Conference on Night Studies
The 3rd edition of the International Conference on Night Studies will take place from October 5 to 7, 2022, at Colégio Almada Negreiros (NOVA FCSH).
Deadline for submission of proposals: 15 June 2022 (Extended deadline)
Night Studies is a transdisciplinary field with works from different social and human sciences. Research covers a wide range of topics related to the so-called ‘Nocturnal World(s)’, including a good number of geographical, cultural, and social contexts; formal and informal practices; and normative and non-normative behaviours. In recent years the study of the night, either as object of study or as context, has grown exponentially. It would not be risky to affirm that, we are witnessing the emergence of a ‘Golden Age’ for Night Studies.
Over the past year, the interplay between economic, social, and (bio)political forces have produced (are producing, and will produce) profound changes in the Nocturnal City. Many businesses have closed their doors during these last months of confinement, and new businesses have taken their places, taking advantage of the gaps left by their predecessors. The streets at night have a different flavour, a strange atmosphere, other music, physical and emotional voids interpellate us while we are forced to move forward towards new, biopolitically controlled ways of socializing. However, not all of these places have been occupied, leaving behind the range of collective and individual memories of what they once were.
The reopening with new businesses brings a renewal of the cultural, gastronomic, sports and leisure offer, underlining the night’s cultural, economic, and social value. New formulas and new products are offered to the public, reinventing the night or updating to new times. New restaurants, new groups of runners, new boxing matches, or new stand-up bars pop up all over, both in the Great North and in the Great South. A new gentrification of the night seems to break through the ruins of the previous city. But in turn, all of this also poses new challenges for the governmentality of the nocturnal city under the current pandemic and climate emergency scenario.
At the same time that the nocturnal city awakens, social inequalities, patriarchal, homo- and transphobic violence seem to arise in both public and private nocturnal spaces, and the occupation of the city seems to be unevenly divided. Meanwhile, new leisure areas seem to consolidate, putting the question back on the center/ periphery debate. Youngsters, migrants, and minorities gather at new public spaces at night, redrawing the map of nocturnal informal leisure.
Cultural festivals, such as light festivals or street theater events, are timidly coming back, although occupying new spaces such as gardens or zoos. Other cultural forms are, once again, receiving viewers, although with strict controls. Innovative proposals such as the possibility of reserving an entire movie theatre for relatively affordable prices come to play as a possibility. Music festivals, meanwhile, reappear with greater controls than ever. In parallel, raves and other non-licensed parties at night emerge elsewhere across our geographies as visible expression of the necessity of social interaction among peers as well as of the wish of evasion amidst an everyday life highly featured by repression, oppression, and criminalization of ‘the otherness’.
The (night) governance of the city faces a constant uncertainty as new variants of COVID-19 may spread at any time. It has to reinvent itself and find new effective ways of management. New bridges between local communities, private sector and authorities seems to come up. But realistic, reliable data and good indicators are still on the agenda.
ICNS.LX3 invites all researchers to submit genuine and unpublished works that take the nocturnal city as object or as study context. On the other hand, papers that reflect on night studies, their possible future research agenda, new methodologies and methods, and reflections on ethical issues related to fieldwork in challenging times are more than welcome.

Territorial asymmetries: socio-environmental issues and inequality factors
The International Conference "Territorial asymmetries: socio-environmental issues and inequality factors" will take place on the 2nd and 3rd of June, at Évora University.
Deadline for submission of abstracts: 7 May 2022 (Extended Deadline)
Nearly a quarter of a century after holding its XV Congress in the city of Évora, Alentejo, AISLF will again gather sociologists at the University of Évora, to reflect on the major social, environmental, and territorial transformations that influence our collective future. Évora, a city classified by UNESCO in 1986, is at the confluence of multiple cultures, temporalities, and "civilizations". The traces of a well-preserved patrimonial and environmental richness can be seen in the architecture and in the immaterial culture of the city; they are acquiring a growing power of attraction not only for tourism, but also for being a dynamic pole of the region. However, these characteristics contrast with other areas of the Alentejo region, which have been severely affected by decades of depopulation, demographic ageing, and economic recession.
Calling for the participation of specialists in humanities and social sciences, including sociology and geography, this conference aims to be a moment of dissemination, sharing and scientific creation, expressing the strong connection of Portuguese sociology to the Francophone world. The proposed theme, territorial asymmetries, may concern, among others, the following analytical axes, which are then thought through:
- Heritage and culture
- Tourism, attractiveness and sustainability of the territories
- Territories and digital transformation
- Mobility and social integration
- Sustainable cities, rural areas and communities
- Environment and lifestyles
- Vulnerabilities, inequalities and social networks
- Citizenship and social participation
- New forms of work organization
- Innovation and entrepreneurship
- Families, childhood and education
- Ageing and social policies
- Territories and conditions of access to health services
- Quality of life, well-being and happiness
GUIDELINES FOR SUBMITTING ABSTRACTS
Communication proposals, in the form of an abstract of approximately 250 words, in French or Portuguese, should be registered until April 25th 2022 in the Conference Platform: https://sge.uevora.pt/

REMHU | Special issue «Migrant women and domestic work»
The No. 65 of the Revista Interdisciplinar da Mobilidade Urbana will include a special issue on "Migrant women and domestic work".
Deadline for article submission: 10 April 2022
This proposal is based on the recognition of the importance of studies on migration, domestic work (paid or unpaid) and gender in contemporary societies, especially in a context characterised by growing hostility towards migrant populations. In other words, a context of increasing vulnerability and health emergencies where organised struggle has shifted to digital media in order to reach more workers, but where the digital divide widens and further increases isolation and lack of access to labour rights.
The proposal is to bring together articles that analyse the relationship between migrant women and domestic work with various possibilities for reflection, for example, labour exploitation, violence, abuse, the commodification of affection, caretaking, isolation, loss of privacy, forms of resistance, struggle and organisation, among others. We also accept contributions that analyse the situations of vulnerability and lack of protection of migrant domestic workers, which are aggravated in the context of the pandemic caused by the coronavirus, as well as their capacity for agency and the strategies of struggle and resistance they employ to transform these situations.
This special issue seeks to broaden analytical perspectives on the issue in the various contexts in which domestic work has historically been carried out by migrant women.
We suggest some topics that can be further explored in the articles:

I Jornadas da Secção Temática Sociologia do Turismo da APS
The I Conferences of the Thematic Section Sociology Tourism of Portuguese Association of Sociology will take place on the 7th, 8th and 9th of April 2022, at the Faculty of Economics of the University of Algarve.
Deadline for submission of proposals: 27 March 2022 (extended deadline)
Nos últimos dois anos, a pandemia originada pela COVID-19 desferiu um golpe sem precedentes nas viagens internacionais e nacionais, com escalas e amplitudes diferentes, e, consequentemente, na configuração mais recente dos processos turísticos globais. Mas se, por um lado, constatamos o quão este fenómeno contribuiu para uma significativa e acelerada alteração dos fluxos turísticos, por outro lado, visualizamos o quão necessária é a reflexão científica acerca do turismo e, no caso, dos efeitos que acontecimentos globais podem ter nas experiências turísticas. À semelhança do que aconteceu no pós-11 de setembro de 2001, o turismo internacional e nacional reconfigurou-se, colocando-se questões como a articulação entre turismo sustentável e novas alterações climáticas; as novas formas de turismo como o turismo digital e o detox tourism; o papel central do turismo interno ou, entre muitas outras possíveis, a indispensável razoabilidade entre as economias de turismo e os processos de desenvolvimento integrado dos territórios e comunidades.
Deste modo, a coordenação da Secção Temática de Sociologia do Turismo (ST) da Associação Portuguesa de Sociologia (APS) e o Centro de Investigação em Turismo, Sustentabilidade e Bem Estar (CinTurs) convidam todos os investigadores nesta área – sócios ou não sócios da APS – a participarem nas I Jornadas de Sociologia do Turismo que terão lugar na Faculdade de Economia da Universidade do Algarve nos dias 7, 8 e 9 de abril de 2022.
Tratando-se de uma Secção Temática cuja criação no seio da APS foi relativamente recente e de um campo científico bastante fragmentado e disperso pelo território nacional, afigura-se-nos importante e desafiador esta partilha e reflexão em torno dos múltiplos objetos de estudo que temos vindo a trabalhar e dos que pretendemos concretizar. Neste contexto, estas I Jornadas não se organizam em torno de um tema principal, mas constituem-se como um momento de conhecimento interpessoal e temático por forma a criar uma comunidade constituída por aqueles que se dedicam à sociologia do turismo em Portugal.
O desenho das Jornadas assenta na participação de cada um através de uma pequena comunicação do seu trabalho (15 minutos) na área e num debate alargado em todas as sessões por forma a darmos visibilidade ao corpus científico da abordagem sociológica aos fenómenos turísticos.
Está ainda prevista a publicação dos trabalhos destas I Jornadas num número especial dedicado à Sociologia do Turismo em Portugal da Revista Anais Brasileiros de Estudos Turísticos.
São aceites, entre outros temas, comunicações sobre:
O lugar do turismo nas ciências sociais
Novos rumos para a sociologia do turismo
Turismo, Artes e Cultura
Turismo Criativo e experiências de co-criação
Autenticidade e as suas declinações
Turismo, lifestyle mobilities e novos nomadismos
Turismo, sustentabilidade e desenvolvimento
Gentrificação turística e overtourism
Hosts & guests: estereótipos, representações e atitudes
O papel transformacional do turismo
O turismo e as redes sociais digitais
Efeitos da pandemia no turismo
O turismo pós-COVID-19
As propostas (resumo com o máximo de 400 palavras) devem ser submetidas on line, no formulário: https://forms.gle/
A participação, com comunicação ou para assistir, é gratuita mediante inscrição online, no formulário: https://forms.gle/

Resumo
Tendo como pano de fundo a pesquisa etnográfica em contextos de saúde, pretende-se neste painel discutir vários aspetos éticos e metodológicos que demarcam a etnografia nestes contextos: desde o acesso ao campo e permanência no mesmo até à saída dos investigadores. Para além dos desafios, singularidades e limitações associadas ao desenvolvimento da etnografia em contextos de saúde, pretende-se dar conta da vivência emocional dos investigadores decorrente da sua imersão nestes contextos e do contacto com situações de doença. Procurar-se-á também refletir sobre as dúvidas e as incertezas decorrentes da situação pandémica ao nível da pesquisa etnográfica em contextos de saúde. Pretende-se, igualmente, a partilha de caminhos alternativos no desenvolvimento da etnografia em contextos de saúde face aos constrangimentos provocados pela pandemia de Covid-19. Quais as soluções que foram identificadas pelos investigadores para a continuidade da pesquisa etnográfica? Que estratégias metodológicas foram introduzidas na pesquisa de forma a assegurar essa continuidade? Quais os novos riscos associados ao desenvolvido da etnografia em contextos de saúde? São algumas das questões que se pretende também dar resposta neste painel. Convida-se à submissão de propostas tanto empíricas como teóricas que visem o aprofundamento da reflexão sobre o desenvolvimento da etnografia em contextos de saúde.

Extended deadline for paper submission: 15 February 2022
Coordenação: Virgílio Borges Pereira (Departamento de Sociologia da Faculdade de Letras e Instituto de Sociologia da Universidade do Porto) e Edison Bertoncelo (Departamento de Sociologia da Faculdade de Filosofia, Letras e Ciências Humanas da Universidade de São Paulo – Brasil)
Apelo a contributos
A prática sociológica de Pierre Bourdieu foi, durante a vida do professor e investigador francês, muito influente tanto dentro como fora do seu país, contribuindo, activamente e em vários domínios, para a construção do campo académico disciplinar e para a definição de prioridades de investigação específicas com impactos que se foram materializando, com inevitáveis cambiantes e cronologias, ao longo de quarenta anos de intensa produção científica. Seja pela definição, aperfeiçoamento e renovação conceptuais, seja pela vinculação desse trabalho conceptual a um afincado esforço de construção de objetos em esferas muito distintas das práticas sociais e simbólicas, seja ainda por um constante convite ao equacionamento da dimensão reflexiva da prática sociológica tanto nos planos epistemológico, teórico e metodológico, como nos relativos à respetiva dimensão mais orientadamente política, Bourdieu animou colectivos de investigação e desenvolveu uma produção científica sui generis muito densa e variada, materializada em cerca de 40 livros originais e em várias centenas de artigos e de intervenções de âmbito muito alargado. Com a sua morte, repentina, em Janeiro de 2002, a sociologia perdeu uma das suas vozes mais influentes e mais originais. Contudo, não obstante a morte do autor, e por força, desde logo, dos colectivos que Bourdieu animou, foi possível, nos anos posteriores ao seu desaparecimento, continuar a conhecer vários textos sociológicos - documentos inéditos, intervenções transcritas, textos reeditados - que têm vindo a alargar a sua obra publicada (entre outros, ver Bourdieu, 2015, 2016). A um tal trabalho acresce o continuado interesse que vários colectivos de investigação, em diferentes contextos mundiais, têm colocado na dinamização de projectos editoriais dedicados à discussão do legado sociológico de Bourdieu e à respetiva mobilização para o desenvolvimento de investigação sociológica e científico-social sobre aspetos distintos das práticas sociais e simbólicas (Medvetz & Sallaz, 2018; Coulangeon & Duval, 2013). Cerca de 20 anos depois da morte de Bourdieu continua, por isso, a ser pertinente equacionar o legado da sua obra e sistematizar conhecimentos em torno do modo como esta tem vindo a ser recebida na prática de investigação à luz de análises estabilizadas sobre tais processos (Ortiz, 2013; Machado, 2020) e de interrogações novas que se possam gerar a seu propósito. Sabendo-se que o trabalho sociológico de Bourdieu tocou, em modalidades diferenciadas, domínios alternativos de investigação, procura-se, com o presente número da Configurações: Revista de Ciências Sociais, contribuir para o aprofundamento do conhecimento sociológico sobre a prática analítica de P. Bourdieu, sem perder de vista a necessidade da sua difusão; documentar a recepção do trabalho sociológico de Bourdieu em diferentes contextos nacionais, com especial enfoque no mundo de língua portuguesa; registar e discutir criticamente usos da teoria e prática sociológicas de Bourdieu, dando especial enfoque a trabalhos que permitam documentar inovações em matéria de construção de objecto e de cruzamentos disciplinares. Para esse efeito, serão aceites propostas de artigos que procurem responder a pelo menos um destes grandes objetivos.
As propostas devem ser endereçadas à Direcção da Revista, através do e-mail cics@ics.uminho.pt CC. para configuracoes_cics@ics.uminho.

PRESENTATION
The Gulbenkian Commission had in its 1996 report “Opening the Social Sciences” discussed the present situation in the social sciences, but not given clear answers for their future development, as has been criticised in the sociological discourse (Wearne 1998 in “The American Sociologist”). What opening towards the future meant remained unclear : it was not a clear plea for an opening towards inter- and transdisciplinary knowledge creation and integration, that was already on the way at that time. Moreover, the report did not answer, how the social sciences can, after the two liberations from the church and the state in the course of modernisation, liberate from the third dependence that is dominant today, that from economic power, business and marketing control, as Wearne writes.
The thematic issue planned has the aim to assess and reflect the experience with the interdisciplinary opening of the social sciences since the Gulbenkian report, that happened in paradigmatic forms with the concepts of inter- and transdisciplinarity, describing new forms of knowledge production. Both terms include a variety of knowledge practices that show similarities. In this issue we want to collect about 15-20 articles that analyse the interdisciplinary trends in human ecology and the environmental sciences, where sociological and ecological knowledge is required and needs to be integrated. The oldest interdisciplinary subject in this sense, the core theme of the special issue, is human ecology ; newer subjects originating from that in the course of the 20th century include cultural-, social-, and political ecology. Recent developments include sustainability science and transformation research, that show the connections to the interdisciplinary discourses about sustainable development in science and politics.
The new interdisciplinary knowledge practices were since the end of the 20th century intensively discussed in epistemological debates about “new knowledge production” (mode 2, interdisciplinarity, transdisciplinarity, post-normal science). Also the European Union has in its funding of research supported the interdisciplinary opening of social scientific research, as the calls and reports from recent years show. The joint feature of the new approaches in interdisciplinary science is their distancing from the conventional forms of academic science and research based on disciplinary and sub-disciplinary specialisation (mode 1). Knowledge integration between disciplines and cooperation between scientists from different disciplines, practitioners and citizen are main features of the new approaches, that spread quickly in some fields, especially in environmental research, where the integration of social-and natural-scientific knowledge became necessary.
The importance of the new inter- and transdisciplinary approaches is justified with two arguments :
the limited perspectives of specialized academic research (mode 1), that does not deal adequately with such complex social and environmental problems as climate change, biodiversity loss, land use change, urbanisation, population growth and its management, exponential economic growth, globalisation and its social and environmental consequences, social inequality and the digital divide, or problems of sharing resources more fairly between countries, as discussed in the sustainability discourse;
specialized academic knowledge does not address sufficiently problems that come with the transfer and application of scientific knowledge in social practices of resource use and other fields of action.
In the issue should be included examples from the practice of interdisciplinary research (how is it done), and of the application of such research in resource use practices, policy and governance processes.
PUBLICATION
This special issue will be published on June 2023.

methaodos.social science journal | Systemic violence and gender
methaodos.social science journal is accepting papers for a new monograph issue on "Systemic violence and gender", coordinated by Ana M. Martínez-Pérez and Marta Cabezas, to be published in May 2022.
Deadline for proposals: 1 February 2022
Violence is a complex, structural and incessant phenomenon, which is often understood as a sum of isolated cases. With this special issue, the intention is to interpret this violence as a means of cohesion typical of the patriarchal societies of late capitalism that generates a multiplicity of resistances and negotiations.
This special issue hopes to bring together a plurality of investigations, originating from diverse locations, disciplines, theoretical traditions and methodological approaches, in order to broaden the debate around the thematic areas:
1. (Re) conceptualization: Theorizing of systemic violence from diverse feminist perspectives, accounting for new approaches, tensions and problems.
2. Citizenship, rights and public policies: Critical knowledge of public policies and regulations - international, national or local - on violence against women, girls, adolescents and other subjects subordinated by their sex-gender, ethnic and functional diversity.
3. Movements and alliances against violence: Struggles of feminist movements, women and sex-gender diversity, among others, that face systemic violence from different angles.
Interested researchers may submit their work in the form of articles, research notes and book reviews.
The journal's publication guidelines and other relevant information, as well as previous issues, are available on the journal's website.

Cartoon Conflicts and Caricature Wars - Call for chapters
Book presentation:
7 January 2015 was a watershed for political cartooning across the world. The terrorist attack on the Paris offices of Charlie Hebdo killed 12 and injured 11, and prompted the worldwide Je suis Charlie campaign, focused on issues of freedom of speech and freedom of expression. The attack had deep roots, stretching back to the 2005 Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy, the resurgence of terrorism from 2001, and beyond, to Charlie Hebdo’s long history of challenging cartoon commentary.
While the fallout from that event is still being felt, the twenty-first century has seen a number of other significant conflicts over the nature and significance of cartoons, as well as many in which cartoons have been used as weapons in ideological, ethnic, religious, gendered, class, and cultural contests. Previous eras have also seen their fair share of cartoon-based controversy.
Cartoon Conflicts and Caricature Wars aims to bring analysis of these controversies various together for the first time, and to go further – exploring the significant cartoon conflicts that have animated the art and practice of cartooning over the centuries.
The editors invite proposals for chapters concentrated on significant cartoon conflicts, or caricature wars, from any and all global contexts, and time periods. Joint authorship is encouraged, as this volume is intended to showcase the collaborative and cross-disciplinary scholarship that is so characteristic of cartoon studies. Contributions may take historical, literary, art-historical, legal, linguistic, media studies, or other approaches.

Deadline for submissions: 31 December 2021
In 2022 we will celebrate the 40th anniversary of the decriminalization of homosexuality in Portugal, with the publication of the Penal Code of 1982. This historical milestone gave rise to a long march of visibility and achievements, but also struggles that still continue. The discrimination and stigmatization of LGBTI+ people does not cease with the many legal and political changes that have succeeded each other in these four decades. Not everything is done, in our country, to break homo/les/bi/trans/interphobia, towards visibility, inclusion, and equality. The 40 years of Decriminalization of Homosexuality: LGBTI+ History in Portugal meeting aims to report on how much has been done, but also on what remains to be done.

Sustainability | Special issue «Sustainable Public-Private Partnerships for Future-Proof Efficient Assets»
The journal Sustainability is accepting contributions for a special issue, dedicated to the theme "Sustainable Public-Private Partnerships for Future-Proof Efficient Assets".
Deadline for submission of articles: 31 December 2021
Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) have been adopted worldwide as a procurement model able to leverage private capital and private expertise, to deliver and manage public infrastructure and public services. The focus on PPPs has been primarily financial, given the numerous financial and fiscal benefits provided by the model (although these potential benefits have turned negatively in some countries). Therefore, the evaluation of such projects has been primarily done in terms of their financial impact, comparing the (potential) gains with the alternative public management model. The results have been mixed across different sectors and distinct countries.
Traditional PPP models now have over 20–30 years’ experience, and a growing number of researchers has been questioning the absence of social, environmental, and larger economic KPIs able to provide a comprehensive evaluation of PPPs. Even from a strictly financial point of view, the lack of a life cycle perspective over expenditure, has led, in many countries (e.g., Greece, Portugal, Italy) to unsustainable financial burdens. Simultaneously, the challenge of climate change will require increased resilience of existing and new infrastructure, requiring a new perspective on how do we evaluate investments.
The debate and literature on PPP have grown significantly in the last decade. This Special Issue intends to bring sustainability to the center of debate on PPPs, providing a set of papers that can pave the way towards a more holistic evaluation, development, and implementation of PPPs. The following areas are most welcome (not exclusive):

The period for the submission of articles for the thematic issue "Transforming territories for sustainability: a look at the Portuguese reality" to be published in the Guaju Journal is now open.
Deadline for submission of articles: 30 October 2021

The purpose of this Special Issue is to bring contributions from the Portuguese reality in these domains, and the main topics in focus are the following:

Civitas – Revista de Ciências Sociais | Dossier Urban childhood in Social Sciences: Problems and methodological challenges
The call for contributions for the special issue "Urban childhood in Social Sciences: Problems and methodological challenges", to be published in Civitas - Revista de Ciências Sociais, will be open from 1 July 2021.
Deadline for contributions: 30 October 2021
This special number aims to give visibility to contemporary debates on urban childhood in the social sciences. It is intended to bring together productions that reveal how the analysis of the relationship of children with the city - split, unequal and excluding, can be carried out at various levels, enabling both the understanding of structural elements about childhood in a given urban territory, and the analysis of ways in which children from different social groups participate, circulate and interact with the city, taking into account, gender, class or ethnic-racial crossings. On the one hand, the effects of the neo liberal model on Latin American cities present transformations that are different from European cities, with emphasis on the privatization of public spaces, segregation and socio-racial differentiation, impoverishment, urban violence and precarious public transport. On the other hand, the analyis of children through the focus of human dignity and their right to the city is even more necessary in contexts of crises and disasters such as the current situation of the Covid-19 pandemic. Indeed, the health crisis has generated changes in urban sociability, visible for example in the increase in the occurrence of social conflicts, and the stigmatization of marginalized social groups. In this sense, we are interested in works that investigate childhood by contextualizing it within the dynamics of power that structrure socio-spatial, intra and inter-generational relations and urbanity itself, in themes such as: Right to the city and children's rights; Childhood and city in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic; Urban resilience and child resilience; Children’s participation and urban planning; Presence and social action of the child in the public space; School and city relations; Child mobility in the city; Socio-spatial interventions with / for children; Architecture, Education and Childhood; Childhood and New Urbanism; Children in urban collectives and social movements; Urban policies and social protection, among others.

Although technological advances and new technologies allow new and rapid forms of communication, they do not allow us to recover the touch, the hug, the kiss, the human warmth. Technologically advanced forms of communication, but which do not avoid affectively more distant societies. It is necessary to reinvent forms of work, interaction and intervention. New mediations are urgently needed for a world in permanent change. New tools are indispensable for an understanding at personal, community, social and political level, where the transforming and humanizing role of mediation can take the central place of a new more humanizing culture (Torremorell, 2008).
In the end, the pandemic context changes experience(s) that translate into new forms of coexistence(s) that, in the limit and many times, also imply survival strategies, as we want to listen (listen with the heart), understand, discuss, deepen, debate, share and systematize in the 9th conference on Intercultural Mediation and Social Intervention.

Deadline for submission of chapters: 10 August 2021
Management methodology and its applicability in society changed after COVID-19. Organizations have had to adopt new forms of resilience based on the needs of a different consumer; this means that an overview should be applied in a different market. The COVID-19 market is a challenge for both producers and consumers because it meets new needs and a new capacity of merchandising. This book fully unleashes the broad potential of entrepreneurial activity by exploring and highlighting new businesses and, as a result, the well-being of millions of people virtually everywhere after COVID-19. This book explores the impact of COVID-19 on the market and the various sectors of the global economy. It also holds a specific focus on businesses and networking post-COVID-19.

The period for abstract submission for the 45th ANPOCS Meeting, which will take place online from 19 to 27 October 2021, is now open.
Deadline for abstract submission: 7 June 2021
We highlight the symposium "The conflicts and their transits in the ways of inhabiting the space", coordinated by Vera Ribeiro de Almeida dos Santos Faria (CICS.NOVA.UÉvora) and José Manuel Resende (CICS.NOVA.UÉvora)
This symposium seeks empirical research that discusses, from a pragmatic perspective, the conflicts and their trajectories in the various forms of inhabiting spaces in their social and territorial dimensions. The purpose is to broaden the scales of observation and their temporalities, receiving studies, reflections and analyses that base their objects or their centres of interest on issues that debate the possibilities or impossibilities of thinking inspiring, creative, enchanting and comfortable spaces from public conceptions of space increasingly harnessed in plans and projects where the guarantee is the main concern, since without this safeguard the beings who inhabit them are deprived of the security entrusted in modes of governance presided over by duly standardised and calibrated norms. In the face of worlds of discontinuities and mobilities, it is then a question of giving an account of the apprehensions of these spaces, in the more or less turbulent tensions, in the faintness of the borders between conflicts and states of violence, in the meanings of institutions, both in their instituting and instituted forms.

Revista Configurações n.º 28/2021 | O ensino e a divulgação da Sociologia em Portugal
Revista Configurações: Journal of Social Sciences, edited by the Interdisciplinary Centre of Social Sciences - Pole of University of Minho, is accepting papers for a new issue (no. 28/2021), on "O ensino e a divulgação da Sociologia em Portugal", to be published on December 2021.
Extended deadline for paper submission: 31 May 2021
Coordenação: Ana Maria Brandão (CICS.NOVA.UMinho, Departamento de Sociologia do Instituto de Ciências Sociais, Universidade do Minho), Benedita Portugal e Melo (UIDEF, Instituto de Educação, Universidade de Lisboa), João Teixeira Lopes (Instituto de Sociologia da Universidade do Porto, Departamento de Sociologia da Faculdade de Letras da Universidade do Porto).
Longe vão os tempos em que Adérito Sedas Nunes redigiu uma breve reflexão sobre os “Problemas da Sociologia em Portugal”. Desde 1963, data em que esta foi publicada na revista Análise Social, o panorama alterou-se significativamente no que respeita aos contornos da oferta formativa neste campo disciplinar. A Sociologia está, hoje, claramente firmada enquanto área de formação especializada do Ensino Superior e enquanto área pericial, mas está também presente nos planos de estudos de outras áreas disciplinares e níveis de ensino, incluindo o básico e o secundário. A reflexão dos próprios sociólogos sobre esse percurso, no caso português, é já assinalável. Menos comum, no entanto, tem sido o seu enfoque nos aspetos pedagógicos. Como se ensina e se promove a Sociologia em Portugal? Em que moldes se dá a conhecer o conhecimento sociológico a públicos não familiarizados com esta ciência? Com que questões pedagógicas se confrontam os seus professores quer ao nível dos ensinos básico e secundário, quer da oferta graduada e pós-graduada, especializada ou não? Quais as suas preocupações e que instrumentos e estratégias pedagógicos mobilizam? Que experiências pedagógicas concretas têm desenvolvido e quais os seus resultados? Como se relacionam essas preocupações, instrumentos, estratégias e experiências com as características diversificadas dos públicos com que trabalham?
Não excluindo questões ligadas aos processos de afirmação, consolidação e institucionalização da Sociologia como área disciplinar, são especialmente bem-vindas propostas originais, sob a forma de reflexões, investigações empíricas ou relatos de experiências concretas, que contribuam para a compreensão dos aspetos especificamente pedagógicos do ensino e/ou da divulgação da Sociologia em Portugal.
As propostas devem ser endereçadas à Direcção da Revista, até ao dia 31 de Maio de 2021. Os artigos submetidos deverão ser enviados para configuracoes_cics@

Forum Sociológico | COVID-19: access to rights, social inequalities and institucional (re)arrangements in Portugal and Brazil
The Revista Forum Sociológico announces the opening of the selection of scientific articles for the thematic dossier "COVID-19: Access to rights, social inequalities and institutional (re)arrangements in Portugal and Brazil, with publication scheduled for the second half of 2021.
Extended deadline for article submission: 30 May 2021
The proposal intends to bring together qualified research and empirical and interdisciplinary investments that deal with the social, economic and political effects of Covid-19 in Brazil and Portugal.
The invisible threat of the virus and its rapid expansion immediately put the paradigm of planetary mobility in check. The developments that followed the declaration of the pandemic served to highlight, on a planetary scale, the political and human implications associated with an integrated world, whose “parts” are articulated through the establishment of a division of planetary work and free movement of goods, “freedom” as well as other values that constitute the “global”, are not only unevenly distributed, but reveal a deep sense of injustice in their distribution. Thus, works must consider and demonstrate how the so-called formal and informal control institutions are (re)organized to contain (or not) the expansion of the pandemic, so as to reproduce the reproduction of inequalities, either through discourses on the reach of the lethality of the virus, either by the intensification of the practices of control and production of deaths, via state action or omission. The reference that supports the call is focused on relationships that permeate social inequalities, therefore relevant to consider the processes of citizenship production and access to rights in a local context.
The dossier will gather from 6 (six) to 8 (eight) articles dealing with the proposed theme. Original articles in Portuguese, French, English and Spanish will be received. The magazine's publication rules and other relevant information, as well as the previous numbers, are available at the Sociological Forum.
The deadline for submitting articles ends on May 30, 2021. Proposals to be considered should be sent to the email address: forum@fcsh.unl.pt with the subject of the dossier in the subject field.

7th International Workshop on the Socio-Economics of Ageing
The 7th International Workshop on the Socio-Economics of Ageing, to be held 29-30 October 2021, is accepting proposals for contributions.
Deadline for submission of papers: 30 April 2021
The main theme of this workshop will be on long-term and informal care. As populations age, the demand for long-term care services (such as nursing services, personal care, and domestic tasks) is expected to continue rising. It is recognised that such services are essential to the welfare of many older people. Most long-term care for the elderly is currently provided by informal carers, often family members. Such caregivers face many challenges, including balancing family and employment with their caregiving responsibilities. Long-term care is also delivered by formal services, including residential care homes and home-based care such as community nursing and home-help services. In many countries, there are concerns about how much long-term care expenditure will need to rise to meet the needs of an increasing older population, mirroring the similar concerns about future expenditure on pensions and health care.
The objective of this workshop is to discuss topics such as:
Although the workshop will have a main track on long-term and informal care, we also invite papers on any topic in the field of the economics of ageing.

Urban tourism in the times of the COVID-19 pandemic
The call for chapters for the book Urban tourism in the times of the COVID-19 pandemic, edited by Jorge Sequera (UNED) and Jordi Nofre (CICS.NOVA), is currently open
Deadline for abstract submission: 26 March 2021
The development and distribution of an effective and safe vaccine against COVID-19 show us a light at the end of the tunnel. Since the outbreak of coronavirus until the current encouraging situation, the public powers have responded to the pandemic by deploying a battery of measures such as severe mobility restrictions, isolation, quarantines, social distancing, and night-time curfews in most countries of the Global South, the Global East, and the Global North. As a result of COVID-related restrictions, urban tourism has dropped sharply in many cities worldwide. An increasing number of voices across the world have expressed their concerns regarding the profound consequences that the current situation may have for the urban tourism and related activities. An example of the consequences driven by the current circumstances of the pandemic include the progressive destruction of thousands of jobs, and the consequent growing financial imbalance of many businesses. On the other hand, we should also mention the wide range of impacts on the urban fabric, such as new forms of segregation (including biopolitical forms of segregation); the extreme tertiarisation of housing; the homogenisation of urban space and its monofunctionalisation strongly oriented towards tourism; the evictions; the disappearance of traditional local retail stores. However, other tourism-related problems that exert pressure on central areas of our cities (e.g., worsening of community livability, conflicts in the public space during nighttime hours, etc.) have abruptly ceased during the pandemic. Undoubtedly, all of this introduces a higher level of complexity when it comes to conducting research into the range of potential spatial, social, economic and cultural changes that the current pandemic has produced in global cities, and those that it may continue to produce in the short- and mid-term future.
“Urban tourism in the times of the COVID-19 pandemic” therefore aims to explore the number of multifaceted spatial, social, economic and cultural changes that urban tourism in the Global South, Global East and Global North has experienced (and will face) as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. This call for chapters therefore wishes to encourage contributions relating to one or more of the following research topics:
1. The fragility of urban tourism in socio-(bio)environmental crises (natural disasters, pandemics, climate change, etc.) and social crises (wars, revolts, social mobilisation, armed conflicts, etc.)
2. Constructed tourist imagery and its deconstruction in times of pandemic
3. The rise and fall of urban tourism. What’s next?
4. The new movements of transnational tourism corporations and the links between financial capital, hotel companies and platform economies (Uber, Deliveroo, etc.)
5. Transformations of tourist consumption, public space and the (de)airbnbisation of cities
6. Urban segregation, labour precarity and new social geographies in tourist cities
7. New urban conflicts in tourist cities and regulatory responses to the pandemic
8. The chronotopias of tourism and the ‘aseptic’ city
Editors of a book series published with a reputable international academic publisher have already expressed an interest in this edited book project. For this reason, our edited book “Urban tourism in the times of the COVID-19 pandemic” will take into account, as a priority, empirical research chapters that have made a significant effort to update and adapt their fieldwork to the current situation. Please send your abstract (500 words max.) to Jorge (jorgesequera@poli.uned.es), with Jordi (jnofre@fcsh.unl.pt) in cc, by no later than 26 March, 2020.
Submission timeline:
Submission of chapter abstracts: 26 March, 2021

The fifth edition of the international conference “Europe as a Global Actor” seeks to discuss the EU’s current and envisioned role in the world (and Africa, Middle East, Latin America, Asia in particular) in the context of UK’s departure from the EU, the re-configuring of EU-US relations, and the increasing challenge to the EU’s role as a global actor posed by China, Russia, and Turkey’s growing assertiveness.
We aim to debate the EU’s capacity to act, its physical and ontological security, and its resilience, in light of the Portuguese Presidency of the Council of the EU and the priorities of the current Trio of Presidencies (Germany, Portugal, Slovenia). Furthermore, we are interested in addressing how the EU has and can respond to key threats to its security, maintain internal cohesion, and act as a leader in tackling the global climate crisis. As in previous editions, the EU’s relationship with other major players and with local actors in shared neighbourhoods will also be discussed.
The Conference Program includes thematic panels, round tables with keynote speakers, as well as plenary sessions on the challenges of European security and defence, diplomacy, climate change, and other relevant subjects. As such, in addition to the presence of several invited scholars and practitioners, the program also includes the presentation of communications by international researchers and practitioners. Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, this year’s conference is planned to take place in a mixed format (both physical and digital).

In contrast to initially planned trials of online education, emergency remote teaching is a temporary shift to an alternative teaching format due to crisis circumstances.

In this context, the journal is searching for papers that address online education in times of pandemic, answering questions such as the following: To what extent has a sudden shift to online education, such as the one we are experiencing, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, taken into account its different dimensions? What strategies and methodologies have been adopted in the transition from the in-person classroom to the online classroom? What challenges and what opportunities did teachers and students have to face? Can we talk about an actual Online Education or just remote emergency teaching?

Studies on emotions have been characterized by their multidisciplinarity, and therefore works based on various theoretical models proposed for the analysis of emotions from the perspective of the most varied disciplinary fields will be accepted: history, social sciences (anthropology, political science, sociology), social psychology, visual arts, literature, music, among others.

Journal: Frontiers in Sociology
Research Topic: The Role of Sociology in Evaluating the Impact of Scientific Production
The formal research funding system is critical in the promotion of scientific research. Today, and ever more so in the future, predicting and measuring the impact of scientific production, particularly in its social, economic and technological dimensions, is an increasingly crucial factor for success in the research funding system. One example of this is the European Commission’s proposal for a framework program for funding scientific research in the European Union in the near future – “Horizon Europe.”
In general, traditional scholarly impact no longer suffices for research funding applications. Dimensions such as economic, social and technological innovation are now central to the success of such applications. The evaluation of research needs to consider its impact at different levels, which has implications for success in obtaining grants and funds from public and non-public entities.
Assessing the (potential) impact of research is crucial. However, both researchers themselves as well as those who assess funding applications attribute limited value to the strategic importance of sociology and the other social sciences. Little appeal is made to insights from these disciplines, which are considered to operate on the periphery of scientific investigation in general. Furthermore, this state of affairs has a negative impact on the professionalism, application processes, autonomy and capacity of social science professionals.
Considering that sociology and the other social sciences could play a significant role both in assessing and enhancing the (ultimate and ongoing) impact of research projects, this Research Topic aims to contribute to a better understanding of this potential role, in order to help change this situation and increase the relevance ascribed to sociology and the other social sciences. These are, after all, essential to the heuristic apprehension of any reality, since this is necessarily also a social reality.
This Research Topic on the role of sociology in evaluating the impact of scientific production welcomes the submission of original manuscripts (articles, reviews, conceptual papers, perspective papers, etc.), whichever sociological paradigm and methodology they employ, concerning the specific and unique contribution of sociology and the other social sciences in evaluating scientific impact.
We invite manuscripts about, but not limited to:
• The representation of sociology and the other social sciences in research funding systems
• The relevance attributed to sociology and other social sciences by professionals and academics in evaluating the impact of scientific research
• The role of sociology in interdisciplinary research projects
• The relationship between sociology and the other sciences in scientific research funding applications
• The potential contribution of sociology and the social sciences in evaluating research impact
• Comparisons of the importance attributed to sociology and the other social sciences in several national and international framework funding research programs

Call for contributions – CEDU
The call for contributions for a thematic dossier entitled "The didactics in debate" in Cenas Educacionais (CEDU) journal is currently open.
Deadline for article submission: 15 August 2020
The term didactics has been vehemently debated in academia, especially in teacher training courses where it is a compulsory subject in the curricula, which aims to promote spaces for debate on teaching and learning processes. Considering the multiplicity of existing contexts, we propose that this publication receive contributions that deal pedagogically with the educational process while respecting the diversity of formative contexts: basic education, in groups considered as minorities (quilombola, riverside population, prisoners, landless people, schools with a high number of young immigrants, etc.), technical education, undergraduate, post-graduate crossed by different social markers of otherness.

Chamada por artigos:
A orientação económica ou o conceito de “ação económica” (Wirtschaften), trabalhado por Max Weber nos seus ensaios sobre sociologia económica, aborda a questão da satisfação do desejo por “utilidades” (Nutzleistungen), enquanto exercício de controle de um ator sobre um determinado recurso, o qual, em princípio, é impulsionado e direcionado para fins económicos. Por este motivo, “... a definição de ‘ação económica’ deve, mais ainda, ser manifestada de tal forma a incluir a operação de uma iniciativa empresarial moderna com fins lucrativos”, e todos os processos e objetos económicos são caracterizados pelo significado que possuem para a ação humana no desempenhar de tais papéis como os fins, meios, obstáculos e subprodutos. Ora, os conceitos básicos que a Economia e a História Económica empregam para analisar a sociedade – como, por exemplo, as ideias de crescimento, prosperidade, desenvolvimento e globalização e/ou expansão/interconexão - são essencialmente modernos, aperfeiçoados na fronteira entre os séculos XIV e XVI.
Procurando pensá-lo de um modo (inter)multidisciplinar, o objetivo deste volume é reunir estudos que permitam estabelecer um diálogo entre a História Económica, a Sociologia e a Economia, seguindo o conjunto teórico da obra clássica de Max Weber “Economia e Sociedade”. Este também foi o caminho seguido por muitos historiadores económicos nos últimos anos, seus temas e seus desafios atuais e futuros, e as visões de lugar das Ciências Sociais numa perspetiva do desenvolvimento do capitalismo ocidental. Em comum, observa-se o avanço científico-tecnológico e o progresso das ciências médicas, exatas e tecnológicas enquanto pilares, sendo inclusive foco da ação política que resulta na construção das políticas públicas de investimento em ciência, conhecimento e tecnologia. Sem perder de vista as questões atuais, como a guerra comercial em escala global, e a agenda do desenvolvimento sustentável e preservação dos recursos naturais, as ciências sociais aplicadas (Economia), assim como a Sociologia e História, sobretudo a vertente da História Económica, são fundamentais na perceção dos vários e diferentes contextos relacionadas às ações e agendas económicas dos Estados. Para além disso, desempenham um papel fundamental na compreensão das propostas de incentivo ao desenvolvimento e de proteção das instituições e dinâmicas económicas internas, tanto em âmbito nacional quanto em âmbito regional, dentro dos respetivos blocos e acordos comerciais que os unem.
Serão acolhidos artigos que colaborem de maneira original para o debate científico sobre a economia, a história económica e as ciências sociais, fundamentados em múltiplos enfoques interdisciplinares, teóricos, metodológicos e empíricos, proporcionando ao leitor, por meio de visões inovadoras e enriquecedoras, a compreensão dos seguintes temas:
a) Comércio como objeto histórico e sociológico;
b) Formas de crescimento e desenvolvimento económicos, associados às ideias de rendimento e produtividade nos vários setores da atividade económica;
c) Reflexões sobre formas de interconexão entre financiamento público e atividades económicas privadas;
d) Organização de sistemas de crédito, fiscais e monetários enquanto base de um processo de racionalização cultural e institucional das sociedades;
e) Divisão do trabalho, na sua vertente social e económica;
f) Dinâmica dos mercados e diferentes níveis de interação entre os mesmos.
As contribuições devem ser enviadas para configuracoes_cics@ics.uminho.pt até 13 de Janeiro de 2020, em conformidade com as normas disponibilizadas no website.

Call for Papers - ESA Research Network 37 (Urban Sociology) «Boundaries and belonging in urban realities»
Europe is going through difficult times: of rising nationalism, populism and unstable political, social and economic situations which have the city as their main setting. We take the theme of this ESA Conference “Europe and Beyond: Boundaries, Borders and Belonging” as an opportunity to debate social, symbolic and physical dimensions of the boundaries and borders creation, negotiation and transgression in urban areas. Within a critical approach, belonging has the potential to help us rethink attachment to place and local life in a time of increased mobility between world cities, of virtual networks and communities, but also of privatisation of public spaces and commodification of urban life.
Deadline for abstracts: 1st February 2019.
We welcome papers on topics including, but not limited to:
• RN37_a - Urban Sociology (Open Session)
• RN37_b - Segregation and spatial forms of inequality
• RN37_c - Urban movements, the right to the city and new urban policies
• RN37_d - Consequences of digitalization in cities and urban life
• RN37_e - Mobility and its impact on urban communities
• RN37_f - Materiality in urban life
• RN37_g - Everyday life: continuities, changes, resistances
• RN37_h - Housing and dwelling
• RN37_i - Gender, age, ethnicity in urban space
The ESA RN37 Urban Sociology aims to continue the work developed at the previous ESA conferences and Midterm Conferences, by stimulating the cross-disciplinary debate on urban life, urban spaces and urban dynamics. At the Manchester ESA Conference we are interested in receiving proposals focusing on empirical data, but also specifically on the theoretical and methodological aspects of research, especially papers proposing innovative approaches.
Joint Sessions
With RN01 Ageing in Europe
“Urban Ageing: Towards an enhanced spatial perspective”
Cities have become central to research on the complexities and multidimensionality of ageing. By combining the perspectives of urban sociology and the sociology of ageing we seek a better understanding of what urbanity represents in terms of experiences, advantages and disadvantages for older residents. We would welcome papers applying innovative theoretical and methodological approaches in studies on urban ageing, but also papers comparing aspects of ageing in urban, suburban, or rural settings.
With RN15 Global, Transnational and Cosmopolitan Sociology: «Transforming cities in a global transforming world»
Cities are places where globalization manifests itself with particular intensity; and cities, in turn, contribute decisively to shaping globalization processes. For this reason, cities are a privileged observation point for globalization and in particular for global / local dialectics. So, we welcome contributions which analyze, on one side, the impact of globalization processes on cities’ life and structure, and, on the other side, the role of cities in shaping and directing globalization itself.
With RN35 Sociology of Migration «Migration and the city: Urban spaces and the reordering of borders, boundaries, and belongings in contemporary Europe»
Migration and urban realities are deeply entangled. Cities and metropolises have had an important impact on migrants’ everyday life and biographies throughout our modern times. In turn, urban neighbourhoods are socially, politically, and economically affected by transnational mobility. The key question of this joint session s how the political and the spatial dimensions are intertwined in the current European context. It focuses, first, on the tensions that currently evolve between urban, national, and European political dynamics and, second, on the “urban” opportunities for countering everyday racisms and authoritarian backlashes in European migration regimes.

Call for Papers – Conference «Knowledge, people and digital transformation - Approaches for a sustainable future»
The 17 Sustainable Development Goals, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, are the world's greatest proposal to build a better world for people and for our planet by 2030. However, the digital transformation of the economy along with political and organizational amnesia about the values of a society that works for the common good may call into question this plan. The objective of this call is to explore the role of knowledge, on its different forms (intellectual capital management or knowledge management), in a context of digital transformation, where the people, commonly seen as human capital, have an important role as guardians of a more sustainable society, guided by ethical principles in which technology, innovation and development are placed at the service of the good and the people.
Submission of abstracts (150 to 250 words): January 18th, 2019.
Notification of Results: January 31st, 2019
Submission Deadline of Full Papers: March 15th, 2019

IV International Meeting of Sociology (ISSOW) «Work, (In)equalities and Social Relations in the Digital Economy»
Encontra-se aberta a call for papers para o IV International Meeting of Sociology (ISSOW) da APSIOT, a realizar nos dias 16 e 17 de março de 2020 no Instituto Superior de Economia e Gestão da Universidade de Lisboa.
Submissões: até 6 de janeiro de 2020
The IV International Meeting of Industrial Sociology, Sociology of Organisations and Work (ISSOW) will explore the multiple and complex implications of the digital economy on working conditions, working time and work-life balance, labour relations, skills and occupations, gender and social inequalities, subjectivities and regulatory institutions.
Advanced technologies, ICTs, robotics and artificial intelligence are accelerating the reconfiguration of occupations, skills, working conditions, labour relations and work organization. Digital platforms are giving rise to new business models, new forms of hiring, managing and controlling. Labour processes across diverse industries are rapidly changing, as well as power relations and subjectivities at work. While new occupations are emerging and new skills are being demanded from the workforce/service providers, many jobs are rendered obsolete and/or relocated globally.
Digital technologies are also profoundly transforming the locations from where people work, how they work and when work is performed. While optimistic accounts see the increasing panoply of technological devices, IT services and networks as sources of greater quality of life, critical tones stress the blurring of boundaries between paid work and non-paid work activities.
Yet, despite the widespread changes, complex patterns of social inequality and labour market discrimination are shaped by gender, age, ethnic/cultural background and social class. The institutional and regulatory structures also need to be brought into the sociological debate.
Papers focusing in the following topics are particularly welcome:
1-Working conditions and labour relations in the digital economy
2-The (global) digital labour platforms and the ‘uberisation’ of work
3-The impact of digital technologies on working time and work-life balance
4-Innovation, occupations and skills in the digital economy
5-Training and employment in the digital economy
6-The role of public policies and regulatory institutions
7-Gender and the digital economy
Data limite para a submissão de propostas: 6 de janeiro de 2020.

Call for Papers – ESA RS12 - Simmel and Beyond
The 100th anniversary of the death of one of the most singular thinkers in the history of Sociology is celebrated: Georg Simmel. In the certainty that the events in the world and particularly in Europe constitute a powerful challenge to the application and development of the Simmelian legacy, our purpose is to invite all those who feel somewhat challenged by Simmel's thinking and who use his concepts and methodology, to present here the results of their investigations.
Abstract submission: until 1st February 2019.
As a pioneer and visionary, Simmel was the inspirer of a way of doing sociology, leaving for posterity a reasoning and a method of its own, based on a conceptual apparatus that privileges the interrelations between formal categories and empirical engagements. Examples of this are the concept of the bridge, the door and the stranger. The bridge and the door are sociological configurations that can emerge in a human attempt to overcome the barriers to their activity. They are at the crossroads of the bounded and the boundaryless. The bridge, in Simmel words, connects symbolically the infinite with the finite. The door, "precisely because it is also opened", is another configuration of a permanent interchange: "the bridge is mute, but the door speaks ". Across the bridge and the door comes the stranger, an entity (individual or collective) who comes and goes, but who can also stay. What differentiates the stranger from the others is its non-belonging to the space in which she lives, which has the effect of its dispossession and ambiguity.

Call for Papers - Dossier «Futuros do Trabalho: Políticas, cenários e vivências subjetivas»
Encontra-se em aberto a chamada para trabalhos da Revista Configurações no âmbito do dossiê temático Futuros do Trabalho: Políticas, cenários e vivências subjetivas a ser coordenado pelos Doutores Ana Paula Marques (CICS-UMinho/ CICS.NOVA), Miguel Chaves (CICS.NOVA/ FCSH.UNL), Helena Serra (CICS.NOVA/ FCSH.UNL) e Paula Urze (FCT-UNL, CIUHCT) e publicado no segundo número de 2019.
Submissões: até 31 de dezembro de 2018.
Com a intensificação da crise económico-financeira, que afeta o capitalismo contemporâneo e a confiança no futuro, o trabalho, as organizações e as profissões têm conhecido profundas transformações nas suas práticas, conteúdos e sentidos. Importa, por isso, assinalar os seguintes processos de ressimbolização do espaço social do trabalho: i) exaltação de uma cultura de “risco” e incerteza no quadro da Revolução 4.0; ii) exigências de compromisso e lealdade dos atores sociais em contextos de vulnerabilidade de vinculação laboral; iii) apropriação do controlo gestionário e administrativo pelos grupos profissionais pressionados pelas lógicas de produtividade e de custo/benefício; iv) fragmentação crescente de coletivos de trabalho, tempos de trabalho e estatutos (e.g. “integrados”, “precários”, “bolseiros”, “formandos”), criando comunidades fracionadas e instáveis de interesses; v) maior exposição a situações de subemprego e experiências de desemprego, e fluxos significativos de mobilidade (trans)nacional por grupos sociais alargados, vi) dificuldades de subsistência, assim como de auto e heteroreferenciação identitária perante experiências de desemprego e exclusão social de um número crescente de grupos sociais, com especial destaque para jovens, mulheres, indivíduos desqualificados ou com baixas qualificações e trabalhadores mais idosos; vii) défices de statusperante esses mesmos cenários; vii) refluxo da regulação estatal na economia em geral e no trabalho (e emprego) em particular com efeitos na desproteção dos trabalhadores, em especial os mencionados no ponto anterior, e na dessindicalização de amplas faixas da população ativa.
Em suma, os processos globais de mudança social têm vindo a implicar transformações significativas nas organizações, no trabalho, nos grupos profissionais e nos cidadãos em geral. Os contornos destas dinâmicas permanecem, no entanto, em larga medida, por conhecer, compelindo os cientistas sociais a anteciparem futuros possíveis no quadro da crescente incerteza que caracteriza as sociedades atuais. Este dossier temático visa acolher trabalhos originais nos seguintes tópicos:
- Digitalização e autonomização da economia e trabalho;
- Tecnologia, comunicação e riscos;
- Ecologização das empresas e gestão verde;
- Privatização, liberalização e reconfiguração dos serviços públicos;
- Mercados (trans)nacionais de emprego;
- Migrações, direitos de trabalho e cidadania;
- Subemprego, precariedade e desemprego;
- Dilemas da educação e formação em contexto de trabalho;
- Profissão, Profissionalização e Profissionalismo;
- Formas de produção de subjetividades no trabalho;
- Diálogo social e desafios de concertação coletiva;
- Desenvolvimento, políticas e redes interorganizacionais.
Os artigos poderão ser provenientes de qualquer domínio das ciências sociais, devendo reportar-se a investigações empíricas e apoiar-se numa reflexão teórica robusta. Os artigos devem ser enviados para cics@ics.uminho.pt e estar em conformidade com as normas adotadas pela revista.

Call for Papers - Conferência Internacional «Mulheres, Mundos do Trabalho e Cidadania - Diferentes Olhares, Outras Perspetivas»
Em 1929, Virgínia Woolf enfatizava a necessidade de se reescrever a História para que às mulheres fosse dado o destaque a que tinham direito. Praticamente seis décadas após esta proclamação, Joan Scott referia que o apelo de Woolf havia sido satisfeito, sublinhando que, sobretudo a partir da década de 70, as prateleiras das livrarias e das bibliotecas tinham passado a estar relativamente bem guarnecidas com obras realçando o papel da mulher no processo histórico. Esta conferência pretende explorar novas perspetivas nos estudos que se centram nas mulheres e na sua inserção no mundo do trabalho, bem como na sua participação cívica e política, a partir dos olhares diversos protagonizados pelas várias ciências sociais e humanas.
Submissão de resumos: até 30 de setembro de 2018.
Uma parte da conferência será dedicada ao tema mulheres e mundos do trabalho, onde, entre outras, poderão ser abordadas temáticas como:

A prostituição: trabalho sexual que deve ser regulamentado ou forma de violência contra as mulheres incompatível com os direitos humanos?;
- O trabalho das mulheres em sectores ou profissões altamente masculinizadas;
- As desigualdades no mercado de trabalho;
- Mulheres, ciência e universidade;
- A negociação coletiva: produtora de desigualdades ou promotora de igualdade?
- Os direitos das mulheres trabalhadoras.
Outra parte será dedicada ao tema mulheres e cidadania, em cujo âmbito poderão ser abordadas temáticas, ainda que a elas não se restringindo, como:
- A ação coletiva das mulheres em contexto laboral ou extralaboral;
- Mulheres e participação associativa: mutualidades, sindicatos, associações de diversa índole;
- Os movimentos feministas como atores de mudança social;
- Movimentos feministas, (des)institucionalização, discursos e práticas;

Call for Papers - Colóquio Internacional sobre Karl Marx: Legado, Críticas e Atualidade
Duzentos anos depois do seu nascimento, Marx permanece nos debates sociais e políticos contemporâneos, sendo os seus textos indispensáveis não só para compreender o capitalismo, suas lógicas, dinâmicas e crises, como também para escrutinar os caminhos futuros para a sociedade humana. Num momento histórico marcado por mais uma crise geral do capitalismo global, parte inseparável da crise social e ambiental que atinge a humanidade e o planeta, e confrontados com o crescimento das desigualdades sociais e económicas entre países e no interior de cada país, o pensamento de Marx conhece um interesse revigorado, incluindo por aqueles que, não se identificando como marxistas, encontram no teórico alemão contributos decisivos para fazer o debate sobre o nosso presente e futuro comuns.
Submissões: até 15 de Agosto de 2018.
A renovação das leituras não dogmáticas do pensamento de Marx é um exercício intelectual e político que reclama uma análise dialética que coloca no seu centro as contradições sociais e ambientais decorrentes da expansão e consolidação do capitalismo, simultaneamente portador de progresso e de regressão. Recusando as conceções mecanicistas e deterministas, o debate terá de considerar que o capitalismo não desaparecerá por si próprio, nem a história tem um único sentido, mas antes diversos caminhos a explorar pela teoria e pela conjugação das condições necessárias para a ação coletiva no quadro dos diversos movimentos sociais, nomeadamente sindical, ambientalista, feminista e antirracista. Apesar das muitas derrotas das forças e movimentos anticapitalistas, mesmo que a história nos coloque perante as dificuldades da luta contra o capitalismo e sua improvável superação a curto/médio prazo, a obra de Marx continua a inquietar‑nos. O seu pensamento, assim como o de Engels, está bem vivo quando nos interpelamos sobre as consequências produzidas pelo capitalismo: o desenvolvimento desigual, a concentração da riqueza, as desigualdades e as exclusões sociais e as novas formas de poder, exploração e dominação.
Rejeitando leituras lineares e esquemáticas, o colóquio pretende debater o legado e a atualidade de Marx, sendo bem acolhidas propostas de comunicação que, ancoradas em diferentes enfoques disciplinares, metodológicos e geográficos, se inscrevam num dos seguintes tópicos:
(i) O materialismo histórico e dialético em Marx: totalidade, contradição, mudança e progresso;

Call for Papers - International Conference of Numerical Analysis and Applied Mathematics (INAAM 2018)
The INAAM 2018 aims to bring together researchers and educators interested in discussing contributions to improve on this situation. Focusing on secondary and introductory university levels we welcome theoretical, empirical or innovation development contributions distributed by all STEM areas and applications.
Submissions: until13th july 2018.
The development of knowledge following contemporary activities in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) involves epistemologies and cognition frames associated with modelling processes that balance different elements from theory, experimentation and scientific computation. In addition, many such processes increasingly require advanced mathematical physics models and methods of scientific computation. It then follows that STEM educational curricula, methodologies and teaching-learning environments should envision the development of meaningful learning paths going through balanced interactive explorations of all the different phases of the modelling cycle, namely, qualitative contextual description, definition, exploration, interpretation and validation of mathematical models, communication of results and generalizations. Furthermore, and always taking into account specific area dependent contexts, it is fundamental to achieve an early balanced integration of computational modelling, and to bring up a strong integrated background in physics, mathematics and scientific computation. However, in spite of the increasing amount of scientific evidence accumulated over the years, the majority of current practices in STEM education courses are still not able to reflect such balanced STEM epistemological and cognitive characteristics. Moreover, these are courses that often have many students with fragmented knowledge states, deteriorating expectations and low exam success rates.
Topics include but are not limited to:
- STEM knowledge development and modelling paths.
- Conceptual understanding, mathematical reasoning and problem solving capabilities.
- New approaches, curricula or learning-teaching sequences.
- Interactive learning-teaching environments.
- ICT, multimedia and scientific computation.
- Teacher training and professional development.

This is a meeting for sharing expertise, but also everyday experiences of all those who, for personal or professional reasons, may be interested in this subject.
Call for Papers – Encontro «Os desafios da investigação: Questões de método, dilemas éticos e problemas políticos»
A pesquisa social é um terreno plural e multidimensional onde se entrecruzam questões epistemológicas e teóricas, dispositivos metodológicos e procedimentos analíticos ajustados às diferentes realidades em estudo. Para além de se desenvolverem em torno destas componentes, os processos de investigação nas ciências sociais configuram, eles próprios, processos sociais que têm subjacente uma multiplicidade de desafios de vária ordem. Com o objetivo de consolidar a reflexão sobre os diferentes tipos de dilemas metodológicos com que os investigadores se deparam, bem como sobre as estratégias que os mesmos desenvolvem para lhes dar resposta, o Centro de Investigação e Estudos de Sociologia (CIES-IUL), do ISCTE-Instituto Universitário de Lisboa, promove um segundo encontro sobre o tema, que vem dar continuidade às questões levantadas na primeira edição deste evento (2016).
Submissões: até 29 de Junho de 2018.
Apela-se à submissão de contributos que reflitam sobre um ou vários dos seguintes aspetos:
(1) O modo como o uso de métodos de pesquisa consolidados nas ciências sociais tem mudado ao longo do tempo e tem contribuído para atualizar e revigorar técnicas de recolha e de análise dos dados;
(2) Relação entre problemas que resultam da prática de investigação e questões teóricas e metodológicas;
(3) Abordagens metodológicas e técnicas inovadoras em ciências sociais;
(4) Questões éticas e políticas inerentes ao processo de investigação: o acesso, permanência e saída do terreno;
(5) Impactos na investigaçāo de dinâmicas globais do campo científico e social, tais como a escolha das agendas de pesquisa ou a configuraçāo dos contextos institucionais;
(6) Democratização do conhecimento no processo de produção e disseminação dos resultados de pesquisa.

Special Session (SS04): Students' come and go. Unpacking the effects of academic mobility in urban metabolism and regeneration
Academic mobility’s impact in hosting cities and regions is often overlooked as it is perceived as being episodic, with a limited and temporary effect. Against this background, this special session aims to unpack the long-lasting influence of academic mobility in urban metabolism and regeneration processes. From larger to smaller cities and universities, how can we make use of the principles of a circular economy to understand the effects, strengths and limits of academic mobility in regional development? As academic mobility is increasing worldwide, this special session looks at the particular challenges it raises for a sustainable future.
Abstract Submission Deadline: May 6, 2018
Results of the review process will be communicated to authors by approximately: May 20, 2018
