	Objectives
	THE PROGRAM IS BUILT WITH THE AIM OF FORMING, IN PRIMIS, A BASE OF GENERAL THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE ON CLASSICAL AND CONTEMPORARY THEMES OF SOCIOLOGICAL THOUGHT. PARALLEL OBJECTIVE IS THE DEVELOPMENT OF COMPETENCES IN THE READING OF SOCIAL PHENOMENA BOTH IN AN ANALYTICAL AND CRITICAL KEY ON A THEORETICAL LEVEL AND IN THE OPERATIVE DECLINATIONS OPENED BY THE METHOD AND BY THE ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES. THE COURSE IS ORIENTED TO VARIOUS PROFILES OF KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND PROFESSIONALISM THAT INTERESTS THE PUBLIC SECTOR AND THE SOCIAL AREA

	Contents
	THE COURSE AIMS TO PROVIDE THE THEORETICAL PERSPECTIVES AND THE FUNDAMENTAL ANALYTICAL AND CONCEPTUAL BASES OF SOCIOLOGICAL KNOWLEDGE. THE FIRST PART IS DEDICATED TO THE MAIN THEORIES AND THE AUTHORS OF REFERENCE OF THE TWO CENTURIES OF DEVELOPMENT OF SOCIOLOGICAL THOUGHT FROM THE 19TH CENTURY TO TODAY. THE SECOND PART OF THE COURSE IS DIVIDED INTO TWO THEMATIC ROUTES. THE FIRST FOCUSES ON MICRO THEORIES AND, PARTICULARLY, ON ERVING GOFFMAN'S APPROACH TO THE STUDY OF SOCIAL PHENOMENA AND IN PARTICULAR OF INTERACTION. THE SECOND IN-DEPTH STUDY IS RESERVED TO THE STUDY OF SOCIAL INSTITUTIONS, MAINLY BUT NOT EXCLUSIVELY PUBLIC ADMINISTRATIONS, THROUGH CLASSICAL SOCIOLOGICAL THEORIES CONCERNING THE ORGANIZATION OF BUREAUCRATIC MODELS UP TO MANAGERIAL ONES AND THE MOST RECENT EVOLUTIONS OF THE APPROACH TO PUBLIC GOVERNANCE. THE ENTIRE COURSE IS DESIGNED AS AN ARTICULATION OF THEORETICAL PARTS AND APPLIED PARTS, THE LATTER CONSISTING OF GUIDED GROUP WORK AND CLASSROOM EXERCISES ALSO ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. IN LABORATORY AND PRACTICAL ACTIVITIES THE COURSE FOCUSES ON METHODOLOGICAL FOCUS PREFERRING ASSOCIATED PATHS BETWEEN THEORETICAL GUIDELINES, DIMENSIONS AND ANALYTICAL CATEGORIES, ON THE ONE HAND, AND METHODS AND TECHNIQUES OF SOCIAL RESEARCH AND DATA ANALYSIS ON THE OTHER.

	Verification of learning
	THE EXAM CONSIST OF AN ORAL INTERVIEW TO ASCERTAIN THE LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE OF THE FIVE PARTS OF THE PROGRAM. THE EXAM WILL NOT EXCEED THE MINIMUM REQUIRED IF THE CANDIDATE DOES NOT SHOW A SUFFICIENT LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE OF THE THEORETICAL AND CONCEPTUAL BASES (PART 1). THE QUESTIONS WILL COVER, ON ONE HAND, GENERAL AND CENTRAL TOPICS (MACRO-THEMES) ON THE OTHER HAND MORE SPECIFIC ARGUMENTS, TOOLS OR TECHNICAL PROCESSES (MICRO-THEMES). USING THE 30-POINT SCALE RANGE, THE ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS ON MACRO-THEMES WILL OBTAIN A DOUBLE SCORE. IN ADDITION TO THE PUNCTUALITY OF THE ANSWER - ABOUT THE SCALING - THE ARGUING WEALTH, THE LEVEL OF DEPTH, THE CRITICAL REFLECTION CAPACITY, THE INTERCONNECTION BETWEEN THE ISSUES AND THE EXPLICATION OF EXAMPLES, CASES OR DIRECT EXPERIENCES WILL BE POSITIVELY EVALUATED.
