The course aims to acquire the fundamentals of sociological knowledge with particular reference to the scientific character of sociology. Starting from an examination of the historical development of the discipline through the learning of the thought of the main authors, we propose an approach to the major theories, categories and sociological currents.

- ability to express oneself in the language and terms of the discipline;
- understanding of the interconnections that structure the relationship between man and society in the various macro systemic contexts: social, economic, cultural.
In terms of knowledge and comprehension skills applied:
- ability to apply the knowledge acquired in research projects on the topics covered by the course;
- ability to apply sociological theories by elaborating research hypotheses and selecting the most suitable research techniques.
In terms of autonomy of judgement:
- ability to critically read manuals and specialist texts concerning the discipline;
- ability to identify the appropriate methods of study and research in relation to the different contexts of application;
- ability to read critically the results of studies, research and projects.
In terms of communication skills:
- acquisition of terminology specific to the discipline;
- ability to express clearly, even to a non-specialist audience, environmental issues in the global socio-economic context.
In terms of learning capacity:
- understanding of the importance of field observation and direct experience of the processes being studied.

Sociology combines theory and empirical research, and today, more than ever, it is useful for knowing how to analyze and respond to the issues of social coexistence: culture, democracy, health, globalization, ecology, gender and sexuality, migrations, symbolic representations, great themes that carry within themselves the transformations of social relations, of the family, of stratification, of education, of religion, of the arts, of the use of mass media. The course therefore intends to address the forms and changes of living in society, according to different theories and methods of investigation, with the aim of making female students increasingly autonomous, critical and aware. Able to set up conceptually oriented empirical research.
Particular attention will be paid to the themes closest to the professional paths of the degree courses, with particular attention to childhood.
Seminar meetings will be organized during the course.
Students are required to present on the day of the exam (not in written form) an oral speech relating to a research project conceived and freely chosen from one of the topics covered by the course (e.g. how to study in the field the presence of immigrants in a district of one's city / country) using sociological theories, elaborating personal research hypotheses, choosing research techniques that are considered most suitable. For further information, students are invited to attend the lessons or contact the teacher to arrange a meeting during the student reception (currently via Teams).
Classes will be held in the second semester of 2022.

Programme
If we think of sociology as a reflective thought on man, on his actions in society, it could be said that it has always existed: from philosophy, in literature, among scholars of every age, in the most varied fields. A science arises from the need of men to satisfy certain needs, proposing answers, practical solutions to real problems or cognitive needs.Sociology combines theory and empirical research, and today, more than ever, it is useful for knowing how to analyze and respond to the issues of social coexistence: culture, democracy, health, globalization, ecology, gender and sexuality, migrations, symbolic representations, great themes that carry within themselves the transformations of social relations, of the family, of stratification, of education, of religion, of the arts, of the use of mass media. The course therefore intends to address the forms and changes of living in society, according to different theories and methods of investigation, with the aim of making female students increasingly autonomous, critical and aware.
