Learning objectives

By the end of the course, students will know the basic concepts of sociology (structure, institution, social action, inequality, group, socialization, and so on); they will be able to use sociological vocabulary to analyze social phenomena-particularly those affecting the worlds of medicine and health-and to distinguish between common-sense opinions and sociologically grounded opinions.

Prerequisites

None

Course unit content

The course is divided into two parts. The first introductory part is aimed at explaining the main concepts of the sociological discipline, with a focus on how sociology understands social structure, stratification and inequalities. The second part, instead, focuses on the dimensions of health and well-being by exploring how the sociological lens can be useful in interpreting the differences and inequalities that occur in relation to health and illness.

Bibliography

The materials for the course are:

- chpaters 1, 2 e 3 of the book 'Il primo libro di sociologia della salute' di Antonio Maturo, Edizioni Einaudi, 2024.

Slides and materials used in class that the professor will make periodically available on the teaching Elly page are an integral part of the course.

Teaching methods

The course will combine face-to-face lectures aimed at dialogically exploring the concepts and vocabulary of sociology and lectures with a laboratory approach aimed at dropping this knowledge into the practice of social relations.

Assessment methods and criteria

The exam will be in written form in 45 minutes and will consist of the following: a battery of 10 closed-ended questions designed to probe knowledge learned and an open-ended argumentative question designed to probe not only knowledge, but also competence on sociological vocabulary and critical ability to make connections.

Each closed question corresponds to 2/30, while the open question will be graded from 1 to 10/30.
