contemporary society,
- The dynamics of racism in contemporary society,

- The exam includes an oral.The oral examination consists of a discussion
of about 15-20 minutes, aimed at ascertaining the level of knowledge and
understanding reached by the student on the theoretical and
methodological implications mentioned in the program. The oral exam
will also test the communication skills of the student with properties of
language and autonomous organization of the exposure on the same
topics in theoretical content. - Extended program
- The first part of the course will focus on concepts and theories such as
the concept of nation-people and people-ethnos, racial theory in the
nineteenth century, the concept of ethnic group, the definition of
minority, minority rights. We will examine policies related to the genocide
in Nazi Germany and fascism, or how to build diversity. A view will then
be directed to policies against minorities in democratic countries, through
their different approaches to multiculturalism: the melting pot and "Anglo
Conformity" in U.S. policies in England, Sweden and France.
The second part analyzes some aspects of the dynamics racism in
European society. A particular reflection will be made with regard to I and II generation Islamic immigrant women and to the widespread forms of Islamophobia.
The third module is the laboratory: the students are organized into small
groups to discuss the texts that address issues related to the integration
of minorities, and the treatment of foreign patients in the health and
social services.
