Biography

After his teaching experience at Beirut, Lebanon in 1974, he joined the French National Centre for Scientific Research and became Docent at the Lille University of Science and Technology in 1977.{{in lang|fr}} [http://ses.ens-lyon.fr/le-concept-d-identite-autour-des-travaux-de-claude-dubar-39775.kjsp Le concept d'identité autour des travaux de Claude Dubar] His thesis, under the direction of Raymond Boudon, focuses on vocational training in France{{in lang|fr}} [http://mip-ms.cnam.fr/servlet/com.univ.collaboratif.utils.LectureFichiergw?ID_FICHIER=1295877017955 Claude DUBAR LA SOCIALISATION : CONSTRUCTION DES IDENTITÉS SOCIALES ET PROFESSIONNELLES.]

In 1988, he joined the Centre d'études et de recherches sur les qualifications (Centre for Studies and Research on Qualifications) in Paris, which researches topics close to those already studied by Claude Dubar: in particular, relations between the sociology of education and work, and especially the sociology of professional identities.

After 1993 he was a sociology teacher at the Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines University.{{in lang|fr}} [http://www.uvsq.fr/dubar-claude-143155.kjsp Claude Dubar] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151003221930/http://www.uvsq.fr/dubar-claude-143155.kjsp |date=2015-10-03 }}

Research topics

= Professional identities =

At the heart of Dubar's work are professional identities. Beyond industrial sociology, it is a sociology of professional identities in which he tries to implement in order to better analyze the crisis that characterizes today's professional identity. Indeed, professional identity confronts the processes by which modernity evolves, such as the rationalization process that characterizes the contemporary economy.

= Reflections on socialization =

In a more general way, Claude Dubar reflects on the socialization process with particular instances of professional identity. However, in his book La Socialisation, construction Des identités sociales et professionnelles{{in lang|fr}} La Socialisation, construction des identités sociales et professionnelles, 2002, Armand Colin. ({{ISBN|2-200-26448-8}}) (The Socialisation, building social and professional identities), he attacks the genesis of an identity matrix and its construction in early childhood. To do so, he theorizes a distinction between "self identity" and "identity to others."
