AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Propose the basics of cultural sociology and the environment, but also acquire tools for reading the context, giving particular emphasis to the integration with other disciplines and the deepening of specific aspects that could be useful in professional practice, such as the world of youth, the world of work, the elderly.

These insights will be discussed at the beginning of the course with the classroom, in order to address issues that are really close to the students' experiences.

TEACHING METHODS

The course includes lectures in an integrated way with the teachings of General Sociology and in coherence and continuity with cultural processes and environment. At the beginning of the lessons will be evaluated the hypothesis of working with the classroom on specific insights of interest to students, activities that could produce ad hoc essays.

Any Student with documented Specific Learning Disorders (SLD), or with any special needs, should contact the Lecturer(s) and to the dedicated SLD Representative in the Department before class begins, in order to liaise and arrange the specific teaching methods so that the learning aims and outcomes may be met.
