I would like to attract the list's attention to a declaration emanating from the University of Paris-Jussieu. It is referred to as the "Jussieu call" (appel de Jussieu).

It is open to organizations of all countries, as the presence of CLACSO and LIBER, for example, testifies.

North American institutions are, therefore, encouraged to sign on to this declaration.
