1 - Conoscenza e comprensione: - Il corso si propone di trasmettere a studentesse e studenti le conoscenze teoriche necessarie per individuare e capire le sfide che il mutamento sociale pone al Servizio Sociale-Social Work.

2 - Capacità di applicare conoscenza e comprensione - Il corso offrirà alcuni strumenti metodologici per comprendere e analizzare la relazione tra Servizio Sociale-Social Work, mutamento sociale e corsi di vita.

Obiettivi del corso:
discutere la relazione tra mutamento sociale e culturale, globalizzazione e Servizio Sociale-Social Work;
evidenziare la connessione tra mutamento sociale e corsi di vita familiari e individuali;
individuare le sfide globali e locali per il Servizio Sociale-Social Work nel XXI secolo.

Il corso è composto da due parti interdipendenti.

  1. La prima parte illustrerà i concetti fondamentali per il corso (mutamento sociale, globalizzazione, genere, generazioni, corsi di vita, vita quotidiana) e fornirà una panoramica delle principali tecniche di ricerca per il Social Work.
  2. La seconda parte discuterà le sfide che il Servizio Sociale-Social Work è chiamato ad affrontare nel XXI secolo e la relazione tra tendenze di mutamento sociale (trend globali) e corsi di vita familiari e individuali.

Conoscenze sociologiche e di metodologia della ricerca sociale di base.

Lezioni in aula, seminari tenuti da esperti/e.
Il corso si compone di 56 ore, di cui indicativamente il 60% con didattica erogativa (lezioni frontali con utilizzo di slides) e il 40% con didattica interattiva (lavori di gruppo finalizzati alla progettazione e impostazione del paper, comprendente una parte teorica e una parte di ricerca autonoma, oggetto della prova di esame).

Esame orale (persone frequentanti e non): discussione in sede di esame di un paper comprendente una parte teorica e una parte di ricerca autonoma da definire usando i testi del programma (tutte le letture obbligatorie e una selezione delle letture consigliate).

Il paper dovrà approfondire una sfida posta dal mutamento sociale al Social Work da scegliere tre le seguenti: a) avvicendamento generazionale e trasformazione dei corsi di vita; b) crisi ambientali e sostenibilità; c) crisi Covid-19 e Social Work post pandemia; d) disuguaglianze di genere e violenza sulle donne/GBV; e) diversità e migrazioni.

Il paper potrà essere progettato e scritto singolarmente o in piccoli gruppi (massimo 3 persone per gruppo). Il paper non dovrà superare le 8 pagine (ciascuna di 2.500 caratteri, spazi compresi, carattere Times New Roman 12) nel caso di 1 persona; 12 pagine (gruppo di 2 persone); 15 pagine (gruppo di 3 persone), esclusi abstract, bibliografia, tabelle e grafici.
