73375 - PEDAGOGIA SPECIALE, DELLA MARGINALITÀ E DELLA DEVIANZA

Course contents

The course offers a reflection on the conditions of people with disabilities and individuals in situations of marginality through discussions of theoretical, methodological, and experiential topics. It explores possible actions to promote their emancipation.

The course covers the following topics:

• Social representations of disability, marginalization, and social exclusion.
• Overview of Special Pedagogy, the inclusive perspective, the biopsychosocial model, and the critical approach of Disability Studies.
• Developing life projects for adults with disabilities in typical and atypical life settings (work, home, communities, digital communities) .
• Analyzing educational interventions in contexts of social marginalization, with specific reference to individuals deprived of freedom.
• Recognizing and promoting inclusive processes.
• The transformative and problematizing educational action within specific sociocultural contexts.

Operational tools will be derived simultaneously from the review of some works by Paulo Freire and bell hooks, seeking their relevance in proposals related to the ability to communicate and continuously construct shared linguistic codes.

Teaching methods

The course makes use of various supplementary tools to support traditional lectures, adhering to a hybrid teaching model.

Therefore, in-person teaching will be complemented by distance learning activities. The distance learning component (12 hours) will be devoted to group work aimed at creating a product (fanzine or poster) that delves into one of the topics covered in class.
