Thinking about the integration of immigrants and their descendants in France : a historical and sociological perspective
The recent European and legislative elections have once again put the issue of immigration back on the political agenda in our country.
Faced with the over-mediatization and over-politicization of what has been called “the immigration problem”, it is appropriate to objectively set out the fundamental contributions of the various social science SURVEYS on this subject.
The historical and sociological perspective will be presented in this lecture.
Born in 1958, Stéphane Beaud studied at the Institut d’études politiques de Paris. He was awarded the Agrégation in Social Sciences in 1985, and his work focuses on the transformation of working-class communities in contemporary France. Professor of Sociology at the University of Nantes, then at the University of Poitiers, at the École normale supérieure de la rue d’Ulm, then became Professor of Political Science at the University of Paris-Nanterre. He is currently Professor of Political Science at the IEP in Lille.
Stéphane Beaud is also an active member of the joint social science laboratory of the Ecole normale supérieure and the Ecole des hautes études en sciences sociales (EHESS).
