Claude Dubar (11 December 1945 – 29 September 2015) was a French sociologist.
[1] 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.
[2] His thesis, under the direction of Raymond Boudon, focuses on vocational training in France[3] 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.
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[5] (The Socialisation, building social and professional identities), he attacks the genesis of an identity matrix and its construction in early childhood.
