Caroline Zekri is a Lecturer in Italian and Mediterranean Studies at the University of Paris-Est Créteil (UPEC), affiliated with the IMAGER research laboratory (Institute of the English-speaking, Germanic and Romance Worlds). She coordinates the MEED research seminar (Mediterranean, Eurocentrism, Decolonial Epistemologies) within the CREER group and serves as Treasurer of IMAGER. Her research integrates humanities and social sciences to examine language-politics intersections in contemporary Mediterranean contexts, with core themes: Vocabulary of migrations across social fields Narration/counter-narration of migratory experiences Italy as Mediterranean border state and EU migration laboratory Literary representations of exile, war, and global capitalist violence Decolonial epistemologies in migration discourse From 2017-2019, she organized six international study days on migration vocabulary, culminating in planned publications. Her scholarly output (2011-2019) reveals consistent focus on decolonizing migration narratives, analyzing how terminology like 'migrant' and 'refugee' reinforces national-colonial orders, while exploring literary forms (epistolary writing, aphorism) as political tools. She serves on editorial boards for Quaderna (co-managing the 'CREATION' section) and Cahiers d'Italies, and provides expertise for Revista Internacional de Estudios Migratorios.

Jean-Pierre Cavaillé is a permanent Lecturer at the School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences (EHESS), affiliated with the Interdisciplinary Laboratory for Solidarity, Societies, Territories (LISST) at University Toulouse 2 Jean Jaurès. He teaches master's and doctoral programs in anthropology and leads a research seminar on Gypsy Identities since 2017. His academic career spans over three decades, with previous positions at EHESS-Paris (1999-2013) and the University of Toulouse le Mirail (1991-1999). Cavaillé obtained his Habilitation to Direct Research (HDR) in Historical Anthropology from the University of Toulouse 2 in 2016 with a thesis titled "The Limits of the Acceptable" under Michel Bertrand's supervision. His academic journey began with philosophy teaching before transitioning to historical anthropology, demonstrating intellectual flexibility across disciplines while maintaining focus on marginalized communities and dissenting practices. His research explores the boundaries of acceptable belief and practice through multiple lenses: the historical anthropology of the Gypsy world, therapeutic "devotion" practices, possession phenomena, irreligion in Europe, dissidence across historical periods, secrecy and deception mechanisms, and epistemological implications of identity categories. His work uniquely bridges ethnographic methods with historical analysis to examine how marginalized groups navigate social boundaries and construct identities across time. Recent publications reveal deep engagement with both early modern religious dissent (particularly libertinism and atheism in 16th-18th centuries) and contemporary Roma/Gypsy communities, showing how historical patterns of marginalization persist in modern forms. Cavaillé's scholarly output demonstrates remarkable interdisciplinary range, connecting historical analysis with contemporary anthropological concerns. His work on the Roma/Gypsy flag examines symbolic representation and identity politics, while studies of historical figures like Vanini and Patin reveal continuities between historical and contemporary forms of dissent. He critically examines how concepts of acceptable belief evolve historically, particularly regarding religious freedom and minority communities' relationship to dominant cultural narratives. As an active researcher, Cavaillé contributes to multiple scholarly communities including Emodir (Research Group in Early Modern Religious Dissents & Radicalism) and the Social Anthropology Center of LISST. His administrative roles include management of the CAS-LISST team since 2024 and representation of EHESS within the TESC Toulouse doctoral school (2014-2021), demonstrating significant institutional engagement alongside his research commitments.
