Presentation
The rise of dogmatic ideologies, the development of social networks and the constant search for media scoops, accelerating the spread of alternative facts and conspiracy theories; the absence or refusal to prioritize information (etc.) all lead to the questioning of scientific knowledge and its construction within society. The republican school, intended to be secular in order to promote individual emancipation, is in no way immune to the intrusion of beliefs in the training of pupils and in the contestation of taught knowledge. It is precisely these burning questions for schools and learning that our study day aims to explore.
