Type of delivery of the course
Teaching methodology. The course is based on both lectures and class discussion. Students are required to take active part in class debates on single course topics on a weekly basis. They can be assigned short extra readings (articles, archival records, press sources, etc.) to be commented in class, individually or working in group with other students. At the end of the course, attending students are required to write a short paper and prepare a class presentation on one of the course topics, to be chosen together with the professor. Students' short essays and presentations will be written based on recommended readings.Attendance
