Social Sciences - Education / Pedagogy / Description of a Ph.D. thesis in education
French term or phrase: discours émissaire
This is a summary of a Ph.D. thesis submitted to a Faculty of Ed. in Quebec. The author's focus is on student autonomy.

"La critique repose sur les inconsistances conceptuelles inhérentes à deux types de discours issus de ma recherche de corpus en lien avec la référence au concept d'autonomie de l'élève – ***discours émissaire*** associé à certaines assises théoriques des recherches en sciences cognitives et discours étalon issu de la psychologie développementale de Kohlberg, un des héritiers de la tradition kantienne – et sur les considérations théoriques potentiellement nécessaires pour recourir à ce concept.

Explanation:
Borrowing from Emmanuella's comments, I'd say the writer is (somewhat clumsily) contrasting "conventional / standard views" with "outlying views", or if you prefer it in the singular, "the conventional view vs. the outlying view".
I'm taking the non-pejorative sense of émissaire, "emissary", i.e. someone sent out, and therefore distant/remote, and by extension "unconventional".
Actually, "unconventional" would probably do just as well.
