Content and teaching methods

Methodology
The course has been designed so that students will be able to progress in such a way that
that they will end up integrating sociological and historical approaches themselves. It has
accordingly been divided into several parts:
1) as far as the chosen theme is concerned, a summary by students of the input of history
and sociology;
2) the students to choose a personal area of study from the reading lists supplied (this
choice will be the subject of a special interview with the teachers aimed at identifying the object and the methodology);
3) a day when students will present and discuss all their work (work will have been read
prior to the oral presentation; students will receive feedback at a second special interview).

Other information (prerequisite, evaluation (assessment methods), course materials recommended readings, ...)

None.
Individual or collective written work, and a group presentation.
Basic text and portfolio of reading.
