Course description

How can we best gain the awareness needed to live our role in the contemporary world and to be prepared for the professions of the new millennium?
By getting to know and understanding it through a course of studies providing an in-depth focus on history, thought, different types of storytelling, and pop culture from the 1900s until today. Or perhaps those of tomorrow!

The degree programme in History and Stories of the Contemporary World was established in the University of Insubria starting from the 2018/19 academic year and is characterised by a clear focus on the contemporary world, encouraging discussions in different forms of written and verbal communication, promoting interdisciplinarity which allows historical research to be re-interpreted from different points of view, based on an open, continuous and level debate with other humanistic and scientific studies.

In order to achieve the above, this course provides dedicated sessions where students come together and discuss, thus experiencing lively and stimulating interaction with faculty members, to provide an enriching opportunity and to constantly improve teaching methods and contents.

Lessons are held in Italian.
