Then, we will connect the question of inequality of school access, careers and results in connection with the individual characteristics of the students, such as gender and immigration status.The course will be the opportunity to think about the "diversity paradox": how to take into account characteristics of the individuals without falling in the stumbling block of an essentialisme which would lead to reduce the individuals to their characteristics?
