Education

Caroline Dayer was born on December 30, 1978, in Sion. Her father was a civil engineering contractor and her mother secretary. Dayer was brought up in Hérémence with her older brother. She received an egalitarian education with her brother and played soccer in league B, with FC Vétroz.[1] [2] She had her first romantic encounter with a woman at the age of 17, but did not confide in her mother on the subject until five years later. She wrote a dissertation, De l'injure à la gay pride, quelle formation et construction de sens? which enabled her to obtain a degree in educational sciences. She also holds a diploma in general studies in humanities and social sciences, which she obtained from the University of Paris VIII in 2004, and a certificate from the École doctorale lémanique in gender studies in 2008. In 2009, after the sudden death of her father at the beginning of the year, she submitted a study for her PhD on the issues of discrimination and equality.[3]

Dayer continued her training by completing a scientific residency at the École normale supérieure (ENS) and the École des hautes études en sciences sociales (EHESS) in Paris in 2012, on the design of training and public policies. In 2016, she undertook a training in management.[4]

Career

Dayer taught for 13 years at the University of Geneva,[5] before becoming an expert in the prevention of violence and discrimination for the canton of Geneva.[6] In 2020, she was appointed expert on homophobia and transphobia in educational institutions at the General Secretariat of the Department of Education, Youth and Culture of the Canton of Vaud.[7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12]

In 2017 Dayer published the book Le pouvoir de l'injure analyzing various factors behind the emergence of insults, particularly homophobic ones : gender transgression, the absence of adherence and conformity to majority norms and relational and group dynamics that lead to increased discrimination.[13] [14]

In 2020, Dayer was appointed expert on homophobia and transphobia in educational institutions at the General Secretariat of the Department of Education, Youth and Culture of the Canton of Vaud.
