Le Journal FMSH

On the occasion of its sixtieth anniversary, we are pleased to invite you to discover the first issue of the Journal FMSH, a magazine reflecting the Foundation's missions and actions. A space for exploration and reflection, this issue offers an immersion into the heart of research and dissemination in the humanities and social sciences. As you read, Le Journal FMSH invites you to discover its prize-winners, partners, events, research projects and mechanisms for disseminating knowledge. From Mayotte to Mexico, via Turkey and Ethiopia, we invite you to travel, to question, to wonder across languages, territories and disciplines.

This issue features a special report on academic freedom, a value that has been part of the Foundation's DNA since its inception. Deeply concerned by the major issues and crises of our contemporary world, the FMSH has always supported intellectual circles threatened by a deterioration in working conditions in their region. How can research be pursued when conflict breaks out, access to sources becomes more difficult or freedom of expression is curtailed by the powers that be? How do you foster the conditions for free and serene research? Discover the powerful testimonies of researchers hosted by the FMSH.

To round off the immersion, we invite you to the Comptoir, a unique venue for promoting and discovering the humanities and social sciences. This is your chance to browse through our selection of new titles published by Éditions de la MSH.   

In the hope of satisfying the most curious and passionate among you, we hope to make this magazine the first issue of a long series, in line with our history of serving the humanities and social sciences.

Happy reading!
