Summary:

Implemented as part of a partnership between Université Paris Nanterre (UPN), Université Côte d'Azur (UCA) and the CRIsIS research cooperative, the national 'ACADISCRI' survey looks at the experience of discrimination and unequal treatment of students and staff in higher education and research. It takes into account several social relationships - gender, ethnicity (including religion), sexual orientation - as well as the possibility of declaring experiences relating to other grounds for discrimination (social class, disability, health, political opinions and trade union activities).

The aim of the ACADISCRI project, the first national survey of inequalities in the French academic world, is to measure the various forms of unequal treatment that students and staff may experience (micro-aggressions, insults, harassment, violence and discrimination). It is based on the general assumption that the experience of inequality varies according to academic discipline, status, degree of insecurity, social characteristics of the people concerned, level of study, hierarchical relationships and type of institution. It examines the different social relations at the root of inequalities - classism, sexism, racism, LGBT-phobias, validism - and how they may be intertwined.
