Università Roma Tre

The course is well-structured in three points.
The first concerns the historical and epistemological dimension of Special Education.
The second focuses the debate concerning the transformation of school and society from a system centered on the integration to one guided by an inclusive vision.
The third point has to do with the social representations of disability mediated by the arts, especially movie and literature.
