This report, written by three students in digital publication master’s in ENSSIB (Lyon), offers a glimpse of the conference Open Access, social and solidarity economy, editorial choices – new faces of scientific publishing which took place on November 4th, 2020, as part of the Jacques Cartier Interviews – an annual meeting of economic, institutional and academic actors from the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region (France), from Quebec and from Ottawa, to talk about innovation. This webinar gave the floor to five speakers representing various structures in the field of scientific publishing in humanities and social sciences, showing the bibliodiversity currently existing in this sector. The speakers presented the innovation and experiments that they are currently carrying out, both economically, with ethical ambitions that commit them to becoming active members of the Open Access movement or of social and solidarity economy, as on the editorial plan, by adopting new practices and new tools.

This essay takes the form of a patchwork of conversations with Hong Kong-based organizers and improvisers Dennis 'Sin:Ned' Wong and Steve ‘Nerve’ Hui to address the differences in conditions and implications of livestreaming for improvising musicians/’noisicians’ in the Hong Kong experimental music scene. Questions that formed the basis for discussion in these conversations include: How does online gigging in the era of the Covid pandemic extend pre-existing activities of the Hong Kong improvised music communities? What are the social, aesthetic, and operational impact of the digital 'platforming' on their musical activities? What is the potential for these online tools to generate deep-rooted and longer-lasting connections either between musicians, and/or musicians and audiences/other scene actors?

Expert evidence is increasingly used to establish social and legislative facts during constitutional review. Not only is the use of expertise expanding, lengthening proceedings, complicating constitutional review and limiting access to such review, but many litigants are succumbing to the temptation to plead the law, principles or values using an expert with impressive academic knowledge. In order to reserve value judgments and pleadings for litigants and for evidence to play its role in establishing the social and legislative facts required for constitutional adjudication, courts attempt to circumscribe the role of expertise. This article proposes four boundaries on expertise in order to make constitutional review more accessible. Expertise would be admissible to establish the concrete effect of disputed provisions or little-known historical facts when they are relevant for interpreting or applying the law, but it would not be accepted to establish points of comparative law or to normatively influence the interpretation or application of the law.

In our opinion, academic research into why young Canadians choose a military career in times of war
remains very peripheral. Nevertheless, during Canada's mission in Afghanistan, many young people
joined the Canadian Armed Forces, including as infantry soldiers. We address this phenomenon as a way
of reflecting on the sociological, cultural, and existential factors that lead young people to make such a
career choice – one that, in the contemporary context, remains unconventional and can prove fatal. The
notion of risk taking and the role it plays in the lives and career choices of certain young people serves as
both the starting point and common thread for our analysis.
