OVERVIEW

In June 2027, the Dipartimento di Scienze politiche e Internazionali will host the annual conference of the Società italiana di Storia internazionale.

Consequently, renowned scholars from universities across Italy—and in some cases from abroad—will come to Genoa to present ongoing research on the themes, key figures, and turning points that defined the 20th century.

This will be a valuable educational opportunity for students.

- develop a critical judgement of the international dynamics of the 20th century  and be able to critically analyse its role in the current international system;

- increase their communication skills, both in written form (paper to be presented at the end of the seminar) and in oral form using appropriate vocabulary (through class discussions)
