Faculty Research Day 2023: (Re)Connecting FacES – Register now! Dear colleague, We are thrilled to announce that this year’s Faculty Research Day is taking place on Friday, May 26th 2023. The Research Day will be held at Hof Ter Musschen<https://www.hoftermusschen.be/en/> (Av. Emmanuel Mounier 2, 1200 Brussels), an authentic and beautiful off-campus location easily accessible by public transportation. The central theme of the day is the ‘Societal impact of research’. With this Research Day, we aim to reconnect and get insights into each other's research, as well as provide ourjunior researchers with the opportunity to showcase their work to the faculty community. In the afternoon, we will be honoured to have Prof. Dr. Sylvia Wenmackers, philosopher of science at KU Leuven, delivering a keynote speech on the societal impact of research. Her recent interview with De Standaard (attached to this email) highlighted the idea that slow and steady science, though less sensational, can still be valuable. This event will be an excellent opportunity to explore the approaches and perspectives of researchers from the various disciplines within our faculty and to promote exchange. We encourage you to take advantage of this unique opportunity to network, learn and collaborate with your colleagues. --> Register here <https://forms.office.com/e/4STfAvLF2y> You can find the preliminary programme in the attachment. Please note that the programme is still subject to change and a final programme will be announced in April.

Dear all, Benjamin invited us to this seminar they are organising. The scope is to foster academic exchange and discussion. If this works well, he is open to co-organise such sessions in the future together with us. A warm invitation to attend if the topic incites some interest or if you wonder how such reflection sessions could look like. I should be able to be there myself. Cheers, Ike ________________________________ From: Benjamin DE CLEEN <Benjamin.De.Cleen(a)vub.be<mailto:Benjamin.De.Cleen@vub.be>> Sent: 17 February 2023 17:47 To: Ike PICONE <Ike.Picone(a)vub.be<mailto:Ike.Picone@vub.be>> Subject: FW: ECHO research seminar with Zoltán Dujisin on 'Power-Interactive Expertise as a form of Journalistic Expertise' - 17 March 2023 Hi Ike, Hieronder de info en uitnodiging voor seminarie waarvan sprake. Stuur jij dat door naar de relevante mensen bij jou? Benjamin +++ Dear colleagues, On 17 March we are organising a research seminar with Zoltán Dujisin (FNRS - UCLouvain). Zoltán will present his work on ‘Power-Interactive Expertise as a form of Journalistic Expertise: Negotiating Journalistic Autonomy during the Catalan Crisis at El País’. This will be followed by discussion, and drinks at Pilar for those who want to join. All practical info is below. Looking forward to seeing many of you there. Best wishes, Benjamin +++ ECHO Research Seminar Power-Interactive Expertise as a form of Journalistic Expertise: Negotiating Journalistic Autonomy during the Catalan Crisis at El País Zoltán Dujisin – FNRS UCLouvain Friday 17 March 2023 Pleinlaan 5, 4th floor, Raadzaal PL5.4.21 15.00-16.30 Abstract Prestigious center-left daily El País surprisingly positioned itself as an uncompromising voice against Catalan independentism, imposing an editorial line aligned to the Spanish conservative government to a newsroom that experiences hysteresis as a result. Drawing from in-depth interviews with El País journalists, this article argues newsroom hysteresis, precipitated by the field of power’s growing encroachment on the journalistic field, helps reveal an undertheorized aspect of the journalistic profession: power-interactive expertise. The concept conveys journalists’ need to constantly negotiate limitations to their autonomy, all the while developing discursive strategies of autonomy preservation. Usually concealed and couched in technical terminology and newsroom routines, hysteresis foregrounds the ubiquity of power-interactive expertise. Bio Zoltán Dujisin is an FNRS (National Scientific Fund) Post-Doctoral Fellow based at UCLouvain. His research interests include sociology of knowledge, sociology of journalism, memory politics and political sociology. Zoltán obtained his PhD in sociology from Columbia University in New York, was a Marie Curie Leading Fellow based in Erasmus University Rotterdam and holds an MPhil in Political Science from Central European University. He also worked as a journalist for a decade, corresponding for the global news agency Inter Press Service News and leading Portuguese weekly Expresso from Ukraine, Hungary and the Czech Republic.
