Modalità di insegnamento

The course involves the participation of different professors from a wide range of disciplinary fields (law, political science, medicine, literature, languages, psychology, history, etc.), as well as experts from the professional world and civil society.

It is divided into several seminars and sessions.

Modalità di verifica dell'apprendimento

The exam format is the same for both attending and non-attending students. It will be an in-class, open-book essay written on paper. Throughout the course, materials relevant to each lesson will be uploaded on Moodle. Students are expected to read and engage with these materials as they progress through the course.

During the exam, students are allowed to consult all course materials provided throughout the semester, including printed materials and personal notes (for those who attended classes). The essay topic will be broad enough to allow students to develop their argument based on their own perspectives, sensitivities, and background.

The primary goal of the exam is to demonstrate familiarity with the course texts and the ability to engage critically with them. To support students, two copies of the printed materials will be made available in the exam room for consultation.

⏳ Exam duration: 3 hours
