The materials presented during lectures or in the Lab will be made available to students on the "formonline" platform, therefore no copy shop is authorized to sell them, and no site - outside the official channels of the University - is authorized to their dissemination.

The course is structured as to allow the implementation of the students’ linguistic competences, requiring on the side of the student to develop a professional-oriented awareness of the L2 learning and practicing modalities, as well as some cultural analysis skills.
The reading of different types of texts – intended to show students both the pedagogic models of the English culture and the specific jargon of their field of interest (HR and Social Sciences) – will allow the student to enrich his/her lexical and grammar-syntactical competences through constant exercise (pre-reading and post-reading activities, reading and listening comprehension), stimulating the students’ reflection and discussion on general-interest themes and providing useful topics for class-work both at written and oral level. The constant use of English in the classroom will be encouraged, also by the use of multimedia materials; students will be fostered to noticing the differences and similarities between L2 and L1 also by providing and analyzing different translations of the texts proposed.
- Linguistic aspects will be focused on as well; grammar texts with answer-keys and monolingual and bilingual dictionaries are suggested in bibliography. Online language exercises links will be suggested too.
*N.B.: Students belonging to DISSAIFE and SERSS previous courses MUST stick to this program; they will also follow the exam modalities prescribed for this year. Those who need to obtain 4, 5 or 10 CFU must contact the teacher to agree on their specific exam modalities.
* N.B.: All changing concerning the program or the lessons, or any other news will be posted on the teacher’s page on the Department website.

The transition from the welfare state to the welfare mix and the concept of local welfare is then illustrated. The policies of the social protection sector are also described (social security, health, assistance and social services) of which a general classification and profile is presented in the Italian context. Finally, the possible future scenarios of social policies in Italy are discussed.

The second part deals with the constitutional bases of the right to social assistance (Article 38 of the Constitution) and the path that between the 1970s and 1990s leads to the administrative decentralization of social assistance functions; the approval of the framework law 328/2000 for the implementation of the integrated system of interventions and social services, the main aspects of which are discussed; the reform carried out with Const.

After an initial presentation of the main analytical paradigms of the social sciences, the lectures will focus on how to define a research project and the main techniques for collecting and processing the information collected. To this end, the research design (both quantitative and qualitative), the methods of empirical operationalisation of research , the main survey techniques (questionnaires, data collection, in-depth interviews, observation, etc.) and data analysis will be presented.

Texts will be indicated during the lectures. A special programme will be defined for Erasmus students

The teaching is aimed at providing students an introduction of the methodologies, theoretical approaches, tools and practices of applied social research. It also intends to present in an organic way the elements of application of research techniques to the "social services".
At the end of the course the students will have acquired the awareness and the ability to reflect on: a) which research question can be set on a given social phenomenon, b) which methodological tools are useful for the production of scientific knowledge, c) the importance of the culture and professional responsibility of the researcher and of the social researcher.

The course is structured as to allow the implementation of the students’ linguistic competences, requiring on the side of the student to develop a professional-oriented awareness of the L2 learning and practicing modalities, as well as some cultural analysis skills.
The reading of different types of texts – intended to show students both the pedagogic models of the English culture and the specific jargon of their field of interest (HR and Social Sciences) – will allow the student to enrich his/her lexical and grammar-syntactical competences through constant exercise (pre-reading and post-reading activities, reading and listening comprehension), stimulating the students’ reflection and discussion on general-interest themes and providing useful topics for class-work both at written and oral level. The constant use of English in the classroom will be encouraged, also by the use of multimedia materials; students will be fostered to noticing the differences and similarities between L2 and L1 also by providing and analyzing different translations of the texts proposed.
- Linguistic aspects will be focused on as well; grammar texts with answer-keys and monolingual and bilingual dictionaries are suggested in bibliography. Online language exercises links will be suggested too.
*N.B.: Students belonging to DISSAIFE and SERSS previous courses MUST stick to this program; they will also follow the exam modalities prescribed for this year. Those who need to obtain 4, 5 or 10 CFU must contact the teacher to agree on their specific exam modalities.
* N.B.: All changing concerning the program or the lessons, or any other news will be posted on the teacher’s page on the Department website.

The Social Policy and Social Services Legislation course consists of two modules.

The SOCIAL POLICY module intends to provide the cognitive and conceptual bases that make it possible to frame social policies in their modern historical evolution and to decode the meaning and orientations of the interventions that can be carried out in the field of social protection. At the end of the module the student:

- knows the aims of modern social policies and their historical evolution and is able to place the current guidelines of social protection within the framework of the types of welfare regime;
- is able to appropriately place the sectoral interventions of social protection in the scenario of contemporary social policies;
- has a suitable conceptual and terminological heritage to appropriately discuss the main issues of the social policy.

The SOCIAL SERVICES LEGISLATION module intends to provide an essential framework of the main regulations governing the social services sector, with particular regard to the context of the Lazio Region. At the end of the module the student has learned the normative foundations that regulate the local systems of social services and knows the main laws concerning the social services sector.

In the first part of the course, a historical-theoretical framework of the concepts of social policy and the welfare system is proposed, the main models of which are described. The ways in which social change and the transformation of needs affect the structure of social policies are then discussed and the picture of the actors of the social protection system is presented. The transition from the welfare state to the welfare mix and the concept of local welfare is then illustrated. The policies of the social protection sector are also described (social security, health, assistance and social services) of which a general classification and profile is presented in the Italian context. Finally, the possible future scenarios of social policies in Italy are discussed.

The second part deals with the constitutional bases of the right to social assistance (Article 38 of the Constitution) and the path that between the 1970s and 1990s leads to the administrative decentralization of social assistance functions; the approval of the framework law 328/2000 for the implementation of the integrated system of interventions and social services, the main aspects of which are discussed; the reform carried out with Const. Law 3/2001 and its implications on the territorial system of social services; the development of regional legislation on social services; the system and the main elements of the Lazio regional law 11/2016, with particular reference to the principle for access to services, the definition of the essential levels of performance, the bodies that regulate the functioning and the actors involved in the system; the structure of the Lazio 2017-2019 Regional Social Plan and the contents relating to the essential levels of social benefits. In the final part, the course essentially presents some of the main national sector regulations for the area of minors and families.

Émile Durkheim: Understanding a classic to interpret the present

This course aims to present the complexity and theoretical prominence of one of the founders of sociological thought: Émile Durkheim. Each week we will raise a main question that will allow us to read and comment on parts of his work, reconstructing its historical and conceptual development. To do so we will follow a threefold scan dedicated: to the method and object of sociological knowledge; to the understanding of legal and political institutions; and to the historical and reflective consideration of forms of collective idealization. Through the study of Durkheim's work we intend to remove this author from the inevitable simplifications to which he has often been destined in his manualistic reductions, partly because of the dominance of the Weberian paradigm in a widespread part of Italian sociological culture. Our aim will be not only to understand the thought of a classic by addressing the entirety of his reflection but, equally, to detect its interest in interpreting the present. In this regard, the course intends to compend the weekly reading of anthological texts from Durkheim's work with some selections of essays from secondary literature. With the exception of a few texts, almost the entirety of the bibliographic material-both primary and secondary literature-will be uploaded to the course website and updated throughout the semester.

PART I - KNOWLEDGE
1. What is modernity? Individual and society
2. What are the aspirations and risks of modern societies? Society and critique
3. In what does the sociological method consist? Social facts and collective representations
4. What are the aspirations and risks of modern individuals? Individual and critique

PART II - INSTITUTIONS
5. Does modernity make us more free? Collective morality and autonomy
6. What is the state? Intermediate bodies and individualism
7. Local justice or universal justice? Cosmopolitanism and contract
8. Does modernity make us more equal? Temporal power and sociology

PART III - IDEALS
9. Does modernity make us more reflective? Spiritual power and sociology
10. How to understand social change? Authority and revolution
11. Is our thinking social? Beliefs and categories
12. What is the relationship between science and religion? Rituals and knowledge

All the primary texts can be easily found in french and/or in english

The course focuses on ‘the border’ from an anthropological perspective. The border will be understood as a social space where multiple cultures, genders, bodies, social classes, and belongings overlap, conflict, or build new alliances and communities.

In the contemporary world, the anthropological perspective is a critical study aiming at understanding cultural diversity and similarities, processes building inequalities, differences, social hierarchies, new forms of action and resistance. The course aims to provide a) knowledge of anthropological perspectives and their main concepts and b) to develop an ability to understand currents of thought in their historical and social dimensions. In applying such knowledge, theories, and concepts, students will be able to c) develop a reflexive, autonomous, and critical gaze on the main topics of contemporary. On this background, d) a participatory method will be solicited to discuss explored social processes, especially related to the border issue. The border will be understood as that point in which two or more cultures, genders, bodies, social classes, and alliances intertwine (Gloria Anzaldùa, Borderland/La frontera). Suppose the border indicates a geographical boundary in a strict sense. In that case, it is generally conceived as a set of social and political processes questioning the construction of marginality and the violable and discriminated body. For these reasons, the border also expresses the place from which thinking new alliances and resistance, as well as processes engaging generations, training and educational institutions, and civil society to rethink new ways of belonging in the contemporary world.
The ethnographic method and ethnographic examples will encourage a participatory approach to understand the ‘otherness’, becoming a helpful means to develop a comparative and non-ethnocentric perspective, together with micro-macro levels of analysis.

The laboratory focuses on the nexus bodies/gender/borders from an anthropological and ethnographic perspective. The laboratory, which will be organized in seminar lessons to promote the class's participation, starts from the analysis of the concept of the border - understood as a social and geographical space in which social hierarchies on differences are produced and strengthened - to explore its temporal dimension, protracted suffering, and intertwined oppressions. In this sense, the border allows the analysis of the processes that make some bodies and subjects susceptible to violation and vulnerability. At the same time, it looks at the effects of border policies over time, especially on generations. The border will be seen as the social space through which to explore both violations and new forms of alliance. Video and discussion materials will be provided by the teacher during the lessons.

THE HISTORY OF SOCIOLOGICAL THOUGHT
Target
The course seeks to investigate the historical and empirical relationship that the founders of sociological thought have established with their time. Through their analysis attempts to identify the tools they are given to the understanding of the present. Only on this basis it will be possible to devise a new contemporary sociology.

The course aims to provide knowledge on human development in the life cycle, with a focus on theoretical and methodological aspects and the application of this knowledge in the social field. The resources, challenges, processes and mechanisms involved during development and major transformations will be examined. Specific attention will be paid to special transitions (e.g. separated/divorced families; adoptive/foster families) and dysfunctional conditions (e.g. disability).

The topics of this course are the following:
- The first changes during development: the childhood
- The challenges of growing up: the adolescence
- Becoming an adult: maturity and parenthood
- Separated and divorced families
- Foster and adoptive families
- Families and children with disabilities
- Health challenges: the ageing
