Conservatoire de Paris

On 14 December 2019, Delorme was appointed as the first woman director of the Conservatoire de Paris[3] since its creation in 1795.[4] Le Point expressed concerns that Delorme would promote "decolonial ideology" and intersectional feminism.[4] Le Monde described Delorme as strongly promoting gender equality (French: parité) and cultural diversity (French: diversité), and stated that the initial rumours of Delorme's nomination led to defensive reactions (French: une levée de boucliers) from media including Le Point.[3] Delorme's appointment is for three years starting from 1 January 2020.[1]
