Wednesday, June 23, 2021 Site-Memorial of the Camp des Milles 40 Chemin de la Badesse - 13 290 - Aix-en-Provence
This is a series of exchanges that favours debates between researchers and students, who are keen to decipher complex social issues, to distance themselves from forms of identity-based withdrawal, and to shed light on knowledge acquired on these live issues, which are sometimes too restricted to specialist approaches.
This series of meetings is part of a broader approach of Aix-Marseille University, socially committed to republican and democratic values, in close cooperation with the Camp des Milles Foundation, itself a bearer of a memory oriented towards democratic learning and vigilance, relying in particular on the Unesco Chair "Education for Citizenship, Human Sciences and Convergence of Memories" created and held jointly by the two institutions since 2013.
The challenge of the first session on 23 June 2021 will be more specifically to shed light on the debates and decipher the current events around racism and anti-Semitism with the hindsight of history and the human and social sciences.
Program :
- 1:30-3:00 p.m.: Museographic tour of the Camp des Milles Memorial Site (accreditation required by return mail)
- 3:00-4:30 pm: Opening of the discussion cycle by Éric BERTON, President of Aix-Marseille University and Alain CHOURAQUI, President of the Fondation du Camps des Milles - Mémoire et Education.

- Jean-Luc BONNIOL, specialist in Creole societies. Professor emeritus of anthropology at Aix-Marseille University.
