Round Tables > Covid-19 in the AmericasWednesday, September 22nd, 2:45pm-4:45pm Centre de Colloques, room 11 Orgazisation : François-Michel Le Tourneau (UMI iGlobes – CNRS) and Robert Boyer (CNRS) Speakers : Elisabeth Cunin (IRD - Universidad de Costa Rica), Frederic Keck (CNRS-LAS), Arthur Morenas (Université de Strastbourg) and Philippe Terral (Université Toulouse 3 Paul Sabatier) Presentation : The Covid 19 pandemic has brought substantial modifications to the practice of human and social sciences over the past two years. Access to far away places, specifically the Americas, has become difficult, which lead researchers to develop new ways to stay in contact with their university network and research subjects. Some found themselves at the forefront of preoccupations, such as the social and societal consequences of the pandemic, the link with analogue situations of the past, etc, sometimes pushing other preoccupations to the background. The pandemic forced all Americanists to update their research agenda with a larger implication on the reflection of the immediate present. The consequences of the SARS-CoV-2 virus led to a redefinition of the initiation practices of research and upset the learning of young researchers. Based on the experience of many Americanists, this round table in the context of the IdA congress, comes as a follow up to the blog COVIDAM, and will aim to check in on the way in which the pandemic changed the practices of human and social sciences.
