Brief description of institution (250 words max)

The sector works on two principles axes :

-Violence at school and alternative pedagogy

-Childhood, youth and intercultural issues.

Researchers lead a multidisciplinary analysis of social violence, violence in school and institutional places, pedagogical, sociological and psychological experimentations. All of this is based on crisis which is thought as a social and scholastic, systemic and symbolic organizer.

The research is based on a twofold hypothesis:

-        Practices and knowledge on violence reveal social evolutions

-        Some new social and institutional answers are set up by this context of society crisis

Research, pedagogical and social methods need to be adapted and adjusted to this societal crisis.

Running projects

Research on two programs of Centre Educatifs Renforcés [new types of centers which develop disciplinary methods to control young delinquents].
