The Sociological-Legal Clinic aims to introduce students to the multidisciplinary analysis of migration processes today understood as an emblematic example of the evolution of the role of the nation-state in managing social conflicts and global differences between social classes. Objects of study such as borders, frontiers, cross-border solidarity, the detention conditions of foreigners, the inclusion-and-exclusion processes of asylum seekers, are analyzed while maintaining attention to more general and transversal social theory contents concerning symbolic, cultural, structural and institutional violence in the contemporary era and the way in which discriminations are structurally reiterated today.
The Clinic, in fact, is a specific didactic device that wants to involve students within some research fields by adopting the ‘case study’ strategy, starting from those opened by the MOBS Mobilities, solidarities and imaginaries across the borders project - Prin 2020 (UniGE, UniMI, UniPD, UniPR, UniOR), providing students with research methodology elements useful for developing critical analysis skills.
