73375 - PEDAGOGIA SPECIALE, DELLA MARGINALITÀ E DELLA DEVIANZA

Academic Year 2021/2022

Course contents

The course offers a reflection on the conditions of people with disabilities or in situations of marginalization (or other forms of vulnerability). Through the discussion of theoretical and methodological issues and analysis of experiences, the course introduces on the possible actions for their emancipation.

The course consists of the following topics:

• social representations of disability, marginal conditions and social exclusion;
• the problematization of reality and transformative educational actions (starting from the different socio-cultural contexts);
• notes on the status of Special Pedagogy, the inclusive perspective, the biopsychosocial model and the critical approach of Disability studies;
• the development of inclusive processes, observation of contexts and the promotion of empowerment;
• the development of the life plan of adults with disabilities in typical and atypical life contexts (work, home, community, digital communities);
• the analysis of some educational interventions in contexts of social marginality, with specific reference to homeless people (eg street education and harm-reduction) and to people deprived of their liberty.
