The conference aims at putting forward current researches in human sciences focusing on the concepts of empire, labour and citizenship and their connections with the long-term history of mankind. The presence in Brussels of Prof. Frederick Cooper (New York University), a leading scholar in (post)colonial African studies, will provide participants with a unique insight on their contribution.

1. Empires and the making of global societies;
2. The African experience of labour;
3. Citizenship in a (post)colonial world.
