Laurent Dornel
Laurent Dornel is currently a lecturer in contemporary history at the Université de Pau et des Pays de l'Adour, where he has worked since 2008. A graduate of the École Normale Supérieure in Fontenay-Saint-Cloud, with an agrégation in history and a DEA in sociology, he has been qualified to direct research since April 2023.
His initial research led him to work on a sociohistory of xenophobia in nineteenth-century France. Drawing on a wide range of sources, he has shown how a veritable 'xenophobic system' came into being during the first decades of the Third Republic, while examining the main figures of the foreigner and how they evolved. He also took an interest in migratory flows between south-west France and Argentina between 1850 and 1920, contributing to the study of elite migration. Finally, he also took an early interest in the history of colonial workers during the First World War and showed that the presence of these workers played a key role in the racialisation of French society.
In April 2023 he defended a habilitation to direct research, the dossier of which, "Altérités et circulations migratoires (France impériale, 1880-1920)", contained an unpublished work entitled Indispensables et indésirables. Les travailleurs coloniaux de la Grande Guerre. The jury was made up of Manuela Martini, Isabelle Merle, Anne Rasmussen, Isabelle Lespinet-Moret, Philippe Rygiel (guarantor), Emmanuelle Saada, Todd Shepard and Xavier Vigna.
He is currently supervising or co-supervising 5 doctoral students. He has published three monographs, (co-)edited six books and written around fifty book chapters and articles. He is currently working on the publication of his habilitation at La Découverte (to be published in early 2025).

Carole Brandon
Carole Brandon is a teacher-researcher in the arts and an artist.
She works in research-creation methodology to experiment with and study the spaces between [body/machine]. She has written a book on this subject entitled L'art et le dispositif:introduction aux hypermédias. She is particularly interested in the way in which artists question the objectification of humans and the invisibilisation of surveillance, inherent in hypermedia. surveillance inherent in new technologies: how capitalism distances us from our sensitive nature by automating the world. She regularly exhibits around the world. She is currently developing several virtual reality works on post-humanism with Gaëtan Le Coarer and Alice Baradat. How the virtual might enable us to reconnect our subject-bodies to sensory, memory and vibratory experiences that would put our hominisation back on an ecosophical, rather than technological, footing. In this context, she has joined the CNRS's GDR mémoire, in the arts, texts and memory section initiated and coordinated by Stéphanie Beligon.

Gemma Piérola Narvarte
After completing a degree in History and Geography at the University of Navarra in 1997, I initiated a doctoral program at the Public University of Navarra under a grant from the Ministry of education and additional funding from the Professor education program. This provided the means to dedicate five-year research on the construction of gender discourse under Franco's regime. This laborious period was a fruitful experience resulting in a doctoral thesis.
In addition to this, I was privileged to participate as a researcher and collaborator in five research projects under national and regional funding, which were directed by María Cátedra Tomás (Universidad Complutense de Madrid), Sagrario Anaut Bravo and Maria del Juncal Campo Guinea (Public University of Navarra ).
Subsequently, after a period of 11 years of teaching in Secondary Education, in 2016 I returned to university research, participating as a contract researcher in the Documentary Fund of Historical Memory in Navarre and as a lecturer in the areas of Contemporary History and Gender History at the Public University of Navarre, where I continue as a permanent lecturer.
Since attaining my undergraduate degree, I have been linked to the Institute of Economic and Social History Gerónimo de Uztáriz, an association of historians in which I have collaborated in different ways and am currently its president. Here I have found a place to reflect and debate on history, the didactics of history and other social sciences, to carry out research among a network of leading researcher.
As a researcher, I have directed my interest towards the study of the history of women during Franco's regime by analyzing everyday life during the post-war period, gender discourses during these years, the forms of violence affecting women during the dictatorship, everyday resistance, and the memory of repression at a regional level. As a result, I have published several articles such as: The moralizing discourse of customs during the dictatorship, the Patronage of Women Protection, repression and types of violence and social control directed towards women, the violation of human rights during Franco's regime and biographies of women under repression. In addition, two books have been published: the first, the result of my doctoral thesis, entitled Mujer e ideología en la dictadura franquista. Navarra (1939-1960) (2018) [Women and ideology during Franco’s dictatorship] and the second, recently published, Historias silenciadas: vida y olvido de diez mujeres navarras represaliadas durante el franquismo. Silenced stories: the forgotten lives of ten women from Navarra: A biographical proposal for their recognition in public spaces (2023). The latter was an OTRI project signed between Pamplona City Council and the UPNA in which I participated as the main researcher.
This research has been possible thanks to the support of the UPNA research group History and Economics, the agreements signed between the Documentary Fund of Historical Memory in Navarre, the Navarra government and the Parliament of Navarra (2017-2024) Here I have participated as a project collaborator, while in other projects of a more interdisciplinary nature I have collaborated as a researcher: Legajos en la mochila: Patrimonio y enseñanza de la Historia. Nuevos textos históricos navarros comentados (UNED Pamplona, 2019-20), La desigualdad económica en el muy largo plazo, 1250-1850. El caso de navarra en el espejo europeo (UPNA, 2020-2021) and Historia y presente del control social, las instituciones punitivas y los cuerpos de seguridad en España (siglos XX-XXI): prácticas, discursos y representaciones culturales (Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación. State Research Agency, 2022-2024).
Work on a regional scale must be open to dialogue with similar realities in other areas. I have attempted to do so by participating in teaching exchange programs, such as one held at the University of Wentzao (Taiwan, 2019), and in colloquia and/or scientific meetings, such as the one given as part of the I Central American Forum of Students of Anthropology Schools Migrations, social change and Central American identity entitled "The Documentary Fund of Historical Memory in Navarre: presentación de un modelo de investigación y base de datos sobre la represión franquista" (El Salvador, 2017). In addition I participated at a conference in Rouen in 2002 presenting a paper entitled "Pour la dignité des femmes: l'hygiène morale publique et privée dans les arrêtés du maire pendant le franquisme" and offered a presentation at the University of Savoie-Mont-Blanc as part of the cycle of conferences of the international research project UNITA Heritage and Gender Studies (Université de Pau, Univ. de Turin and Univ. Savoie Mont-Blanc) under the title: "Être femme sous le franquisme: construction et diffusion de modèles de genre à partir des sources écrites de l'époque" (Chambéry, 2022).

Eloisa Ramirez Vaquero
Full Professor of Medieval History at the Public University of Navarre (Pamplona).
My research is primarily focused around two main areas of the medieval history of Navarra, attended form transversal and multidisciplinary perspectives: the exercise of power (royal, essentially, but also around the noble and urban environments) and the urban worlds. The argument of the relationships -tensions- between the crown and the noble and urban elements, and between themselves, includes an attention to ideological means, instruments of control and management, economic bases, social dialectics, or the use of political language, writing and emblematic symbolism. In a more direct relationship with the urban world, on which this doctoral cotutelle is proposed, I have worked on the structure of the urban network and it’s characterization, the dialectic of urban powers and groups, the government of its centres and the tensions with the crown and other related groups. We have a very long tradition, in our research group, of working and exchanges with our colleagues from the UPPA; we have shared research projects (from the CTP, the AEI in Spain, the ANR in France, the “Casa de Velézquez”, in Madrid) and several jointed publications. Also collaborations in master and doctoral programs, evaluation panels, etc.
I coordinate the Doctoral program on “Heritage, Societies and Broder Spaces” of Campus Iberus (UPNA; UNIZAR, UdL, UR), were the universities of UPPA and UTJ2 are linked as external partners. I also collaborate with other national and foreign programs. I have 5 positives six year research evaluations (“sexenios”) recognized by the CNAI (the last one in 2018) and one positive Transfer evaluation (in 2020). I have directed 6 doctoral theses in the last 10 years and I am currently directing another two. I’m currently IP1 (with M. T. López de Guereño Sanz, from UAM) of the project “MINORES. Construir la memoria de las élites periféricas en la Corona de Castilla y el reino de Navarra. s. X-XV. 2023-2026 (Agencia Estatal de Investigación - PID2022-138387NB-100).
