Clémence Cardon-Quint - "Portrait of the teacher as a civil servant"

Clémence Cardon-Quint is Professor in History at Université de Montpellier Paul-Valéry (France), member of the research laboratory CRISES, and of the Institut universitaire de France. She is co-editor of the journal Histoire de l’éducation. Her scholarship has successively focused on teaching and teachers of literary subjects in the 20th century; on subject matter associations; on budgetary aspects of education; and on knowledge regime and research policy in educational matters. In her research, she sought to understand how the evolution of knowledge, the exercise of state power and social change simultaneously contributed to transformations in schools. Her publications include Des lettres au français. Une discipline à l’heure de la démocratisation (1945-1981) (PUR, 2015), and L’argent de l’école. Histoire du budget de l’éducation nationale depuis 1945 (Presses de Sciences Po, 2025).
