Two of the four credits reserved for other knowledge must be compulsorily achieved by passing a B2-level foreign language test chosen from English, French, Spanish and German.

In A.Y. 2022/2023, the English language course is taught by Prof. Justin Rainey (go to teaching tab).

Students who intend to take the B2 level test in a language other than English (choice of French, Spanish and German) are invited to contact the Teaching Office: didatticadafist@unige.it

N.B. The CdS recognizes certifications of the same level or higher. If you have a valid certification attesting to your foreign language proficiency, you can submit it to the Committee for the Recognition of 'Other' credits.

The Permanent Seminar on Local History is a well-established experience (started in 1992-1993) that has the explicit aim of integrating teaching and research activities with a strong focus on the dimension of local analysis, wants to propose an opportunity for dialogue around objects of common interest that characterize the work of those practicing historical investigations today, starting from documentary sources as well as from the field.  In the first part of the year, the speakers involved (and/or invited) will propose case studies with a focus on the procedures of analysis and use of sources and their relationship to the local context of source production. Beginning in March, the meetings will focus on the individual research paths of registered participants who decide to opt for independent research work: by February, those involved will prepare a personal research proposal--to be structured with a summary and bibliographical apparatus--and will discuss its progress, at subsequent meetings.

Themes and sources of research may be proposed by students or, if requested, suggested by faculty.

Each year the seminar focuses on a specific theme.

The Workshop includes one meeting per week (always on Monday afternoons) beginning January 30, 2023.
