Learning outcomes
At the end of the course students should be able to: know and be able to use the most relevant analysis tools of the metamorphosis processes that are affecting social and care work, in the context of renovation of the contemporary work’s world; know and be able to use the main interpretative concepts that the "Fundamental economy" - set of economic activities that produce and distribute essential goods and services for daily life and basic needs for social reproduction - can provide to study social work in the context of reconfiguration of the relationship between public and private sector in local welfare.
