The course requires an interest in the study of religious cultures and a good background in modern and contemporary history as well as in sociological subjects and intercultural mediation in general. Attendance at the Comparative Law of Religions courses is strongly recommended.
For attending students, the final examination of the course consists of a written test consisting of five broad open questions scored from 0 to 6. The test will last 75 minutes and the assessment of learning will take into account the accuracy and quality of the answers, the mastery in the use of appropriate terminology, and the ability to justify, arguing persuasively, statements and opinions.
For non-attending students: oral examination. In particular, the ability to refer to the contents of the programme in a manner appropriate to the specificities of the subject, argumentative skills and technical-expressive ability will be assessed.
The final grade is awarded in thirtieths.
The course aims to provide future interlingual and intercultural mediators with indispensable knowledge for action within highly multicultural and multi-religious contexts, characterised in particular, but not only, by a significant Muslim presence.
By means of an interdisciplinary methodological-didactic approach, the course intends to encourage personal in-depth study of the topics dealt with (learning skills) while the final written test aims to assess the students' adequate communicative ability (communication).
The course complements the course in Comparative Law of Religions and Ecclesiastical Law.
The course is structured in three parts: the first is devoted to current affairs, the second and third focus respectively on Judaism and Islam in the multicultural society, especially in Italy.
In brief, the following themes will be addressed:
Outlines of the multicultural society.
Cultural diversity as a cause of bullying.
Religions and conflicts.
Health in the multicultural society.
Religion and sustainability.
Judaism in the multicultural society.
The issue of anti-Semitism today.
Islam in the multicultural society.
Homosexuality and Islam.
Sickness, death, and healing in Islam.
Presentation of a book relevant to the course.

The course will conclude with the presentation of a book relevant to the topics addressed.
The course takes place through a total of 36 hours of face-to-face lectures and intends to encourage the active participation of students through an inductive method that, starting from concrete examples, also linked to the local context, enables students to read current events through the filter of an adequate and reflective scientific knowledge of social issues. The course will be enriched by the contribution of specialised knowledge and expertise offered by guests from the university world, public administrations, religious communities and civil society.
The professor is available to prepare "PDP" upon reasoned request.
Talks with students are at the end of lessons or by appointment, also remotely.
