The circular economy is an economic model aimed at systemic transformations to promote sustainable consumption and production modes. Although the transition to a circular economy has begun in several countries, it remains a complex challenge requiring approaches adapted to specific national and territorial contexts. The province of Quebec is not immune to this dynamic and is embarking on major societal transformations. Since 2023, the Quebec Circular Economy Research Network (RRECQ) has been coordinating the co-creation of a roadmap for the transition to a circular economy for the Quebec society 2025-2050 (FREC) by 2050 (RRECQ, 2025c). This article presents the participatory approach implemented by the RRECQ for its development. Based on a co-construction process of knowledge and involving various stakeholders, the FREC aims to define trajectories towards a desirable, inclusive and sustainable circular future in Quebec.

Adopting a neo-structural perspective (Moore, 1990; Ibarra, 1995; Burt, 1995, 1998; Lin, 1995; Lazega, 2011, 2012), the present paper investigates the societal and organizational resistances (structural effect) and the relational biases (networking effect) hindering the professional advancement of women-managers in the American firms. Complementary to the (new) affirmative action policies, the cooptation mentoring and the intra-organizational affinity groups are aimed at supporting the professional integration of women-managers through the development of their organizational networks. Nevertheless, these organizational devices rely upon two distinct (assimilative vs. affiitary) logics of professional socialization.

Throughout this article we will point out the difficulties faced by sports culture promoters in Ivorian secondary schools. For this purpose, in addition to political institutions, key informants from four regional branches of the Ministry of education in Abidjan have contributed to the survey. For this study, we used a strategic and socio-historical approach based on the realities of sport culture in the Ivorian educational system. This analysis presents the reasons why the implementation of sports culture in schools has failed. It is chiefly due to sport policy and sport structures on one hand, and on the other hand to sport activities organized in schools. To sum up, all the parties involved in the implementation the culture of sports in the educational system are co-responsible for its failure.

By travelling in a cosmopolitan milieu in a UK university, pedagogies of possibilities are explored. Over a period of five years the exploration narrates the journeys of, what Clover (2010) calls, “artists as educators,” documenting conversations and creative pedagogic practises. This is despite the closure of the university campus in 2023, due to an overt neoliberal agenda. The findings of two feminist cosmopolitans in conversation, illustrates that when stories require repetition, that is the retelling of a certain narrative as well as stories that are whispered, they are of a particular significance. Represented are resistance, resilience and rebellion. In addition to the tone and context of conversations being important, the findings in the research suggest that by adhering to a feminist cosmopolitan ontology, encouraged is a sensitive, ethical encounter with others. This approach suggests that those marginalised in the academy and the artworld, then are seen and heard. Their voice and artwork are visualised as challenges to the norms of the academy.

The bureaucratic model becomes more and more self-defeating in present time because it is highly inadequate to meet the challenges of the modem world. Literature on the alternative models of collective work is now available. These are also several highly encouraging practical experiences. Fewer and fewer people still trust that any substitute for bureaucracy is just unrealistic

Following her doctoral thesis at the Sorbonne on the application of Pierre Bourdieu’s thought to Educational Sciences, and her involvement in establishing the communication of organizations as a research orientation in the Communication Sciences in France, Béatrice Galinon-Mélénec anchored her research in Communication Anthropology. This shift led her to found the Homme-trace (Human-Trace) paradigm. In this discussion, Béatrice Galinon-Mélénec looks back on her career path and explains how it lead her to an anthroposémiotique de la trace (human communication of the trace) based on an anthropological and co-constructivist perspective, a proposal offering a reading of signs seen as consequences of interactions between the “body-trace” and the “reality-trace”. It also clarifies its definition of the trace as a consequence, as well as one of indication, brand and footprint in relation to the trace. Finally, the researcher explains her vision of the research and investigation methods capable of capturing the complexity of reality through the “trace-consequences” that are variously accessible to humans.
