Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The course will explore youth in contemporary society through the lens of sociology, looking at the crucial themes of youth employment and integration in contemporary societies: the transition from school to work, youth labour market in EU countries and territories, spatial disparities in youth integration, policies addressing youth.
Students will be introduced to major theoretical approaches, contemporary debates and empirical findings in the sociology of Youth.
The course will adopt a student-centered approach with a strong competence orientation. This course will enable students to critically engage with specialistic literature on sociology of youth, evaluate its usefulness and use it to discuss social, economic, political, cultural issues related to youth.
Students will engage in active participation (in-class workshops, group work and discussions) as well as in-class presentations. They will also progressively build a research paper with in-class and out-class activities - including coming up with a suitable research question, performing a basic literature review, structuring the paper, performing several writing exercises, give and receive feedback along the way.
