PSYCHOLOGICAL AND SOCIAL STUDIES

Print
Plesso di Borgo Carssimi - Cortile e ingresso principale

The Psychological and Social Studies Unit is characterised by the joining of multiple perspectives oriented to the analysis of individual, relational, social and institutional processes, in different contexts of the life of individuals and of groups, and in light of changes in contemporary society.

The plurality of scientific and disciplinary fields represented by its members (including psychology, sociology, anthropology, and historical and political studies) is reflected in the Department's various courses, particularly those in psychology, communication, and journalism.

Research carried out using quantitative and qualitative methodologies explores issues central to contemporary society, including environmental issues, new technologies, generational and gender issues, social inclusion, educational and care processes, and migration phenomena.

These issues are also explored through the third mission, which involves organising seminars and public events, as well as training initiatives for professionals in health, education, and social work.
