The administrator, the faculty assembly and the entire Collège de France community were deeply saddened to learn of the death of Françoise Héritier, Professor Emeritus and holder of the Chair of Comparative Studies of African Societies (1982-1998). They pay tribute to an exceptional woman who had a profound impact on the Collège de France, not only through her lectures and research, but also through her convictions and commitment.
