Università Roma Tre

TEACHING PROGRAM: The goal of training is to enable students to become aware of the diversity of the contributions produced by contemporary sociology, both on the micro-sociological side and the macro-sociological one, and therefore by considering two main aspects: the social interaction on the one hand, the social change on the other. For this reason, the course program aims at offering an overview of contemporary international sociological theory and will focus mainly on contributions from the second half of the Twentieth Century and the beginning of the Twenty-First Century (for example, Garfinkel, Goffman, Sacks, Foucault etc.), but not only on that: actually, even if we will start from the Fifties of the last century, in rare cases we will mention some previous reference points (authors; for example, Mead).
