Lecture series

The ontological separation between "nature" and "culture" has structured fields of knowledge and action for several centuries, essentializing an anthropocentric view of "nature."

This segmentation is reaching its limits, particularly in the context of the urgency of environmental and social crises, and new metadisciplinary approaches are developing that propose a different way of addressing human-nature/society-environment interactions.

Aimed at scientists, doctoral students, and undergraduates, this series of lectures brings together specialists in the humanities and social sciences on the one hand, and ecology (in the broad sense) and the environment on the other, to discuss major environmental issues. In collaboration with the University of Montpellier (UM), Paul Valéry University (UPVM), La Maison des Sciences de l'Homme- Sciences et Société Unies pour un autre Développement (MSH-SUD), Les défis Clés BiodivOc and RIVOC.

The SEEMs organizing committee is composed of researchers from the PTL-3 units (Biodiversity, Ecology, Evolution), as well as other research units involved in ecology and evolution. It includes asmall organizing committeein charge of logistics (managing calls for speakers, preparing communication materials, coordinating with PTL-3, etc.) and alarger organizing committeein charge of scientific programming and disseminating information to laboratories. The PTL-3 supports the organization of the SEEM by providing logistics and funding for the reception of speakers.
