Obiettivi formativi

Obiettivo dell’insegnamento è quello di fornire adeguate conoscenze e capacità di lettura comparativa delle dinamiche socio-territoriali globali, al fine di offrire a* student* la possibilità di formare una prospettiva complessiva sullo sviluppo in un contesto di crisi ecologica globale.

Contenuti sintetici

Un approccio geografico allo sviluppo che ne evidenzia le diverse valenze territoriali dalla scala locale a quella globale.

Programma esteso

Il corso affronta i temi della globalizzazione, dei modelli di sviluppo, delle dinamiche migratorie dello sviluppo sostenibile, della transizione ecologica e delle questioni ambientali internazionali e li contestualizza nell’Antropocene.

Tali argomenti sono supportatati dall’analisi di casi-studio e trattati secondo una prospettiva interdisciplinare.

Prerequisiti

Padronanza delle conoscenze teoriche e metodologiche della geografia e buone capacità di apprendimento, di scrittura e comunicazione orale.

Metodi didattici

Lezioni frontali.

Analisi e commento della letteratura scientifica rilevante.

Seminari tenuti da esperti.

Modalità di verifica dell'apprendimento

Esame scritto. Consiste nell'elaborare una argomentazione critica rispetto a una considerazione proposta dal docente che coinvolge e connette diversi dei temi trattati dal corso. Tale modalità di esame è la più opportuna rispetto alla valutazione delle capacità critiche sviluppate dagli studenti riguardo alla natura interdisciplinare che caratterizza il corso.

Testi di riferimento

Riferimenti bibliografici diversi (articoli scientifici, rapporti, articoli di quotidiano e di rivista) segnalati all'inizio e durante il corso.
