Governing the future: goals and tools
A.A. 2021/2022
Obiettivi formativi
The course has an interdisciplinary character and it pursues three main learning objectives.
First, the course aims at introducing students to major topics and themes animating ongoing public debates. The selected themes and topics will be addressed with a view to provide a practical sense of the challenges and opportunities connected to current political or social-economic phenomena and trends, on the one hand, and to offer students the opportunity to better grasp the requirements for devising long-term strategic plans, on the other.
Second, the course intends to familiarize students with methodological tools to critically interpret political or socio-economic phenomena, to analyze empirical data and to develop rigorous research designs in the field of social sciences and philosophy.
Third, the course aims at offering students high-level training in logics and argumentative strategies, which will strengthen students' analytical capacities and their ability to assess and defend normative and policy proposals.

Risultati apprendimento attesi
Knowledge and understanding
Students are expected to acquire in-depth knowledge concerning some major issues at the centre of current political debates and a clear understanding about the relevant considerations for developing effective long-term plans to address challenging and controversial public questions. Students are also expected to acquire advanced methodological competences to examine and assess empirical phenomena as well as consolidated familiarity with argumentative strategies.
Applying knowledge and understanding
Students are expected to be able to apply their acquired methodological and argumentative competences to interpret and evaluate political events or phenomena and to devise and defend policy or normative proposals that are sensitive to criteria of feasibility and effectiveness, on the one hand, and to value considerations, on the other.
Making judgment
At the end of the course, students are expected be able to formulate autonomous and rigorous judgments, based on accurate empirical analyses. Students are also expected to be able to autonomously and critically assess arguments proposed within public debates, to verify their logical consistency and their empirical reliability.
Communication
Students are expected to strengthen and refine their communicative skills, thanks to specific training in argumentative strategies and logics and to in-class discussions, which are specifically meant to provide students with opportunities for practicing and improve their communicative abilities.

Programma
This course provides students with conceptual and methodological tools to understand and address the challenges connected to current political debates, and applies them to a specific - and crucial - topic, i.e. solidarity. The course is composed of three modules.
The first module (Prof. Ronchi) provides an introduction to the methodological approaches used in empirical research in social and political science. It shows how to draw consistent research designs and walks the students through the basics of the most widely used quantitative and qualitative methods. The second module (Prof. Cepollaro) aims at introducing students to major topics and themes of critical thinking. It teaches students how to spot and analyse, how to refute and reject an argument. The third module (Prof. Tava, ONLINE only) focuses on the meaning and function of solidarity, and on the relevance of this notion within today's key social and political scenarios (migration, future of work, racism, pandemic). Students will have the chance to apply the skills acquired in the first module by engaging with the current literature on this topic and will animate a series of presentations and discussions around the definition and scope of solidarity practices, and the contextual constraints that their implementation involves.
