About the conference

"How can we account for social inequalities today? Bernard Lahire and his team tackled this question as part of a large-scale field survey, the content and results of which are set out in the book Enfances de classe. Because "children live at the same time in the same society, but not in the same world", and because we can "no longer say we didn't know", Bernard Lahire will take questions from the audience on the rationale and sociological foundations of the survey presented in "Enfances de classe", and on what each and every one of us, sociologists, students, (future) teachers, parents and citizens can learn from it.

This meeting will also provide an opportunity for in-depth discussion with this great sociological figure on his vision of sociology, his approach and his contribution to understanding life in society.
