- The sources and long-term historical evolution of cultural, religious, political, and artistic phenomena in both European and non-European contexts.
- The historically attested relationship between artistic forms and the cultures that produced them.
ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
LEARNING AREA: THEORETICAL-EPISTEMOLOGICAL
The graduate is able to:
- Develop scientific projects and assess their social impact.
- Design research and intervention projects aimed at understanding and resolving conflicts.
- Develop appropriate communication strategies to connect specific local realities with national and international institutions.
- Design initiatives to promote interreligious understanding and communication.
- Conduct anthropological analysis of historical sources.
LEARNING AREA: METHODS, TOOLS, AND APPLICATIONS
The graduate is able to:
- Identify critical issues in institutional processes and propose transformative intervention strategies, particularly in the educational, socio-health, and cultural heritage sectors, both in European and non-European contexts.
- Communicate research findings effectively.
- Develop and conduct projects analyzing written, oral, demographic, and audiovisual sources and identify the most suitable methods for examining specific research contexts, whether in the present or the past.
LEARNING AREA: HISTORICAL-THEMATIC
The graduate is able to:
- Apply historical methods.
- Design and conduct historical research concerning the relationships between religious and/or political institutions in both European and non-European contexts.
- Publicly disseminate scientific knowledge related to the history of religious, political, and artistic phenomena.
INDEPENDENT JUDGEMENT (MAKING JUDGEMENTS)
The graduate is able to:
- Critically integrate anthropological contributions within institutional processes to promote the value of cultural and religious diversity.
- Master ethnographic investigation methodologies to analyze issues in contexts characterized by cultural, linguistic, and religious pluralism.
- Conduct qualitative analyses of ethnographic data to investigate the socio-political implications of processes of cultural construction, stratification, and change.
Independent judgement is promoted and assessed through exercises, seminars, internship experiences, oral and written examinations, and the final thesis.
COMMUNICATION SKILLS
The graduate is able to:
- Facilitate communication between institutional and non-institutional entities in contexts characterized by cultural, linguistic, and religious pluralism.
- Identify appropriate communication registers to highlight the relevance of socio-cultural and religious diversity in contemporary society.
Communication skills are developed and assessed through seminars, workshops, group work, and the final thesis.
LEARNING SKILLS
The graduate is able to:
- Understand the cognitive styles and cultural practices that shape the environments in which they conduct research and/or professional activities.
- Identify relevant bibliographic sources to document and deepen their expertise in both research and professional settings.
Learning skills are acquired and assessed throughout the entire study program, considering individual study efforts required to pass exams, the preparation of individual and group projects, and activities undertaken in preparation for the final thesis.
