Monique Gadant, The Social Sciences and Politics in Algeria : The Itinerary of an Intellectual The arrival of a French professor of philosophy in October 1962 in Algeria, three months after the country's indépendance was won, reveals how being a foreigner and a woman influenced both political involvement and the modalities of research. This experience illustrates the situation within the Algerian universities in the 1960s and 70s and challenges some ideas about the role of the social sciences in relation to politics and the state.
