Senior seminar in Global Humanities – 2021/2022

Senior Seminar in Global Humanities is conceived as an interdisciplinary space of discussion around the so called "spatial turn" that is investing all fields of the Humanities (history, anthropology, geography, philosophy, political theory).

Students are expected to attend at least four (4) short intensive courses. Senior seminar is a pass/no pass class and, in order to get 6 credits (CFU), students are required to deliver a 3000-word paper on one of the short intensive courses attended, starting from the first exam session in May.

Students must email their paper on one of the courses attended in the AY 2021/2022 to disci.gloc@unibo.it from May 30 to March 31, 2023. No registration on AlmaEsami is needed. If students pass the exam, credits will be registered within 2 weeks.

CONTACTS: disci.gloc@unibo.it
