Goals

The Doctoral School 624 “Sciences of Societies” is a multidisciplinary school welcoming sensitive research to the multipolar spatialities of the world and its plural temporalities.

Within the fifteen laboratories it houses, it coordinates the work of around 150 HDR teachers-researchers who supervise work in anthropology, architecture, economics, geography, history & civilizations, political philosophy and sociology of around 350 PhD students. Research is guided by a critical spirit that does not dissociate epistemic problems from social practices, nor these from their environmental and political contexts.

Four major transversal axes order the interfaces and intersections between the work carried out there:

The international dimension and comparatism

The long-term social construction of identities and otherness

The relationship between natural phenomena and societies

Conceptual and methodological innovation in the humanities and social sciences.
