MECAM Spectrum: MECAM’s Event Week « Disparities »

The Merian Centre for Advanced Studies in the Maghreb (MECAM) is pleased to invite you to its first Event Week on the theme of “Disparities”, which has been jointly organised by its Fellows, from 14 to 17 November 2023 in Tunis.

MECAM-Spectrum serves as a platform for fostering research exchange and knowledge production and circulation related to Disparity. This exchange not only bridges the gap between the Global North and the Global South but also promotes dialogue and collaboration within the Global South itself. Researchers from diverse backgrounds and regions come together to share their findings, experiences, and perspectives, creating a rich tapestry of insights that enrich the discourse on Disparity.

The event week aims to provide a space for analyzing theoretical and practical approaches to disparities, including memory, experience, identity, embodiment, space, and agency. By delving into these multifaceted dimensions, researchers explore the complexities of Disparity and its entanglements with various social, cultural, and historical factors. Through interdisciplinary discussions and collaborative efforts, participants delve into the intricate layers of Disparity, unraveling its nuanced manifestations in different contexts.
