Dear friends, Readers and subscribers,
Our site welcomes new contributions that will enrich our common reflection on the different subjects that concern us, partly linked to what the media continue to confusingly call " wokism " and which we define as the penetration of critical theories of race and gender into university circles, with subversive political effects. We will therefore find Ute's analyses Deichmann, Nathalie Heinich, Katherine Kintzler, Cyrille Godonou, Michele Tribalat, Guylain Chevrier as well as the texts of some of the columns recently published by our members in the press. Then an update on editorial news!
