Programma esteso
Il corso è composto da tre parti interdipendenti.
La prima parte introduttiva presenterà i concetti fondamentali per il corso (anche metodologici).
La seconda e la terza parte tratteranno:
- la relazione tra genere e settore del turismo (stereotipi di genere, differenze e disuguaglianze di genere, violenze);
- la relazione tra turismo e avvicendamento generazionale (mutamenti, travel trends e futuro del turismo).
Prerequisiti
Conoscenze sociologiche e di metodologia della ricerca sociale.
Il corso è erogato principalmente in lingua italiana, con alcuni contenuti in inglese (tra cui parti delle lezioni, alcune slide e una parte delle letture obbligatorie per preparare l’esame).
I testi per le/gli studenti Erasmus necessari per preparare l'esame sono scritti in inglese.
Metodi didattici
Lezioni in aula e seminari tenuti da esperti/e.
Il Corso si compone di 49 ore, di cui indicativamente il 70% con DE-didattica erogativa (lezioni frontali con utilizzo di slide) e il 30% con DI-didattica interattiva (lavori di gruppo, discussione di casi di studio, progettazione e definizione delle presentazioni con slides/PPT da esporre in aula).
Modalità di verifica dell'apprendimento
Esame scritto: 10 domande chiuse a scelta multipla (1,5 punti per ogni risposta corretta) e una aperta (max 15 punti) sui testi OBBLIGATORI del programma d'esame (REQUIRED READINGS). Le domande verificano lo studio e la comprensione dei testi obbligatori.
Studentesse-studenti con almeno il 75% delle presenze potranno decidere di effettuare un lavoro di gruppo integrativo rispetto alla prova di esame.
Scopo del lavoro è progettare e realizzare una presentazione con slide/PPT finalizzata ad approfondire una delle aree tematiche trattata durante le lezioni e dai testi (obbligatori e consigliati) del programma d'esame. La tematica, scelta insieme a docente e tutor, si dovrà collocare all'interno delle seguenti aree: differenze e disuguaglianze di genere nel turismo; la violenza sulle donne e di genere nel turismo; relazione tra turismo e generazioni; il futuro del turismo.
Il lavoro potrà essere svolto singolarmente o a piccoli gruppi (massimo 4 persone per gruppo) e dovrà essere presentato e discusso in aula prima della fine delle lezioni.
La presentazione con slide dovrà essere definita rispettando le norme che saranno illustrate all'inizio del corso.
*Studenti Erasmus: è consigliato l'esame standard (il corso è erogato principalmente in lingua italiana), con domande aperte e chiuse sui testi obbligatori (programma con testi in inglese riservato alle/agli studenti Erasmus). Le domande per le/gli studenti Erasmus saranno formulate in lingua inglese.

-
Knowledge and understanding - The course aims to provide students with concepts and methodological tools for the empirical analysis of the relationship between tourism, gender, and generational change.
-
Applying knowledge and understanding - Students will develop the ability to apply theoretical concepts and methodological tools to the empirical analysis of the relationship between tourism, gender, and generational shifts.
-
Making judgements - Through the discussion of case studies and group work, students will be encouraged to develop critical and personal reflections to better understand contemporary tourism and its possible evolutions.
-
Communication skills - The course aims to promote effective and interdisciplinary communication skills — also in English — through lectures, seminars, and group activities.
-
Learning skills - The course structure encourages active and collaborative learning, stimulating students' ability to carry out independent research on the future challenges of tourism.
Contents
The course aims to discuss:
The role played by tourism in the formation of gender identities and roles;
Gender differences and inequalities in tourism;
Violence against women/gender-based violence in tourism;
Generations and tourism;
The challenges posed to tourism by generational change;
The future of tourism.
Detailed program
The course consists of three interdependent parts.
The first part of the course will introduce key concepts, both theoretical and methodological.
The second and third parts of the course will focus on:
- gendered tourism practices, gender stereotypes and gender inequalities in tourism, violence against women/gender-based violence.
- the relationship between tourism and generational change: generations and tourism, new travel trends, the future of tourism.
Prerequisites
Reasonable skills in sociology and social research methodology.
The course is primarily delivered in Italian, with some content in English (including parts of the lessons, selected slides, and some of the required readings for the exam).
The required readings for Erasmus students are written in English.
Teaching methods
Lessons and seminars held by guest speakers.
The course consists of 49 hours, of which about 70 percent is standard teaching (lectures with the use of slides) and 30 percent is interactive teaching (group work promoting peer learning and interactions).
Assessment methods
Written exam: 10 multiple-choice closed questions (1.5 points for each correct answer) and 1 open question (maximum 15 points) on REQUIRED READINGS. The questions assess the study and understanding of the required readings.
Students with at least 75 percent attendance may choose to carry out a group project — supplementary to the written exam — on a topic covered during the lessons and in the readings (both required and recommended). The topic should be selected from the following areas: gender differences and gender inequalities in tourism; violence against women/gender-based violence; generations and tourism; the future of tourism.
The project (a slide/PPT presentation) may be completed individually or in small groups (maximum 4 students per group).
The presentation must be prepared in accordance with the guidelines that will be explained at the beginning of the course and should be presented and discussed in class before the end of the course.
*Erasmus students: the standard exam is recommended (the course is primarily delivered in Italian), consisting of open and closed questions on the required readings in English for Erasmus students. The exam questions for Erasmus students will be provided in English.
