Learning outcomes

At the end of the course the student:

- is able to move autonomously in applying the specific techniques learned independently or within projects organized by the institutions;

- will know how to deal with other subjects on the methods of use and documentation of the techniques learned;

- knows how to place the specific knowledge learned in different types of service;

- will know how to evaluate the limits and merits of the technical instruments learned; - will know how to transfer the technologies learned in different contexts by making personal modifications and additions.

Course contents

The objective of the course is to enhance students’ understanding of the distinctive investigative techniques employed in applied anthropological research, equipping them with the tools necessary to design and manage educational initiatives aimed at addressing social challenges and fostering cultural mediation.
Students will integrate the various fieldwork strategies (participant observation, conversation, in-depth interview, focus group) in order to enhance their critical analysis of the organisational contexts in which they will be working and in the design and evaluation of interventions in the socio-educational field.
The course will comprise brief, focused sessions devoted to the examination of specific theoretical and methodological concepts, a critical analysis of case studies, individual and group exercises aimed at developing research tools (interview protocols, focus group outlines, participant observation grids, research diaries), simulations, and brief ethnographic explorations.
