*The Cycle of IACCHOS conferences, entitled “Changing Societies”, is conceived as an encounter between first
class critical intellectuals and young generations. Such conferences are not conceived as “expert conferences”,
but as an opportunity for such intellectuals to address contemporary issues and to pass their scientific analysis
and personal aspirations on to students. The students’ organizations are in charge of all the conference process:
presentation of lecturers, public debate, synthesis, etc. In 2014, the IACCHOS conferences gathered Pr. Saskia
Sassen (May 2014) & Pr. Judith Butler (September 2014)..
