Scientific project
Crisis or crisis of globalization? What implications for educational research?
The growing number of crises in which we find ourselves calls for a renewal of our epistemological frameworks with a view to global thinking. Indeed, it seems less and less conceivable to separate environment-health-social-economy, as demonstrated by the work of socio-anthropologist F. Keck on recent and current pandemics:

or the economist Eloi Laurent, for whom weighing up health and economics is epistemologically dated nonsense, and politically absurd:

This is how, for example, the "One Health" movement is currently emerging as an integrated approach to ecosystemic, environmental and human health(Globalization of health risks, 2011),promoted in particular by B. De Sousa Santos in Brazil through the epistemologies of the South ( De Sousa Santos, B.Les Epistémologies du Sud, Mouvements citoyens et polémiques autour de la science, Desclée de Brauwer, 2016); De Sousa Santos,B.The end of empire cognitif, London, Du Press University, 2018), or by J. Descarpentries in France(Sortir dela ligne de crête, Résister, Responsabiliser, Anticiper, Coopérer, E&S, Soumis, 2020).
These works and approaches resonate with those carried out by researchers who, at the crossroads of philosophy and anthropology, question the nature/culture relationship. These "ecosophists" (see portraits in PJ) invite us to think globally, to (re)articulate local knowledge and practices, and to rethink territoriality at its different scales of locality.
The scientific reflections (SHS) of Bon and Larrère (2018) on the implications of the Anthropocene or those of Geographer Lussault on the theme of "Inhabiting the World" and "Territorial Care" are part of the same dynamic.
More generally, an inventory of the categorycrisisand an invitation to a far-reaching bifurcation is amply documented in the book " Bifurquer. Il n'a pas d'alternative", edited by Bernard Stiegler with the collectifInternation, Les liens qui libèrent, 2020 (4eme de couverture enPJ)
On the one hand, these crises encourage us to reflect collectively on desirable and/or desired changes, and on our postures as researchers (see, for example, the work of Daniel Curnier, and that of Barthes and Lange; attached slides), and on the other hand, to question our epistemologies.
