Description
The course comprehensively presents the issue of immigration in Italy. The historical roots as well as the economic impact of such a phenomenon will be introduced offering a framework of the context in question. The rest of the course will focus upon the sociological ramifications such as integration versus assimilation, the flexibility of public education towards minorities’ needs, the issue of perceived security, the ability of the public authorities to successfully manage the situation, and others. Students will be required to critically observe and assess the topic of immigration in a new geographic context and to draw parallels with the United States.
