Panel discussion: Is secularism a principle under tension?
- conference

meet up
In a context marked by renewed identity debates and tensions around religion, secularism is more than ever a central issue. 120 years after the law separating Church and State, this founding principle of the Republic is invoked, contested, sometimes instrumentalized, and provokes different interpretations depending on political, philosophical, and religious perspectives.
What are the rights and limits for individuals and institutions? How to manage everyday situations, between legal requirements, social realities, and citizens’ expectations?
To discuss these questions, Des Mots & Débats invites you to a major panel with four experts on the topic:
- Rachid Benzine, political scientist, writer and Islamic studies specialist
- Pierre Bertinotti, former senior civil servant and economics teacher, Grand Master of the Grand Orient de France
- Iannis Roder, history teacher and director of the Observatory of Education at the Jean-Jaurès Foundation
- Nathalie Wolff, associate professor of public law and vice-dean at Université Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines
At the end of the event: book sales and signing session.
