Service.

Organisation + scientific committee for the International Conference, 4th and 5th March 2016 : Middle Ages and Medieval Fantasy, forms and representations of domination structures, INHA, Paris. This conference was organized by four Ph.D. candidates from two institutions (EHESS/Paris 3-Sorbonne Nouvelle). Our intellectual ambition was to cross studies of historical work and popular representations of the Middle Ages, concentrating on forms of structural domination in many fields: juridical, political, social, gendered... Proceedings shall be published in the summer 2018.
Coordination of the medievalist seminar at the EHESS, 2015-2016  (http://enseignements-2015.ehess.fr/2015/ue/702/) This seminar is a place for intellectual exchange between medievalist from our institution, and of meeting with researchers from other institutions invited to present their research.
Creation and coordination of a graduate workshop, 2015-2016 and 2016-2017: extra-academical uses of research. (http://enseignements-2015.ehess.fr/2015/ue/1214/ and https://enseignements-2016.ehess.fr/2016/ue/1214/) During the first year, each session was an encounter with a specifically invisted person, to present and criticize their own initiative in the fields of participative research, co-constructed research, popularization of research results, etc. During the second year, as a result of those reflection, group initiatives were developed, and experimental/prototypes were created.
