PLEASE NOTE: In order to be admitted to any teaching activities, including those of your choice, you must be enrolled in the academic year in which the activities in question are offered. Students who are about to graduate in the December and April sessions are therefore advised NOT to undertake extracurricular activities in the new academic year in which they are not enrolled, as these graduation sessions are valid for students enrolled in the previous academic year.

Transatlantic Transfer: political relations, knowledge circulation and cultural exchanges between the two sides of the Ocean (1900-1960)
This course aims to present an overview of the relations that have taken place between the United States and Europe in a chronological span between the Great War and the end of the Cold War. To this aim, European history from 1900-1980 will intersect with American history, aiming to highlight the evolution of political relations, the weight of diplomatic relations, and cultural exchanges and contaminations.
Three passages are crucial for understanding the evolution of these relations: the Great War and the 1930s, which record the rise of two American presidents destined to play a central role in the world political scene as Woodrow Wilson and Franklin D. Roosevelt and the phase after 1945 with the reconstruction of Europe and the start of the Cold War.
Particular attention will be paid to the period between the two wars and to the birth and evolution of totalitarian regimes, which is approached from a comparative and transnational perspective, from the perspective of political, cultural and intellectual history. The central part of the course will focus on the analysis of the fundamental characters of totalitarian regimes, the cultural and diplomatic relations put in place toward the American world, the history of fascism from a transnational perspective, the phenomenon of intellectual and political exile, and the circulation of ideas between Europe and the United States in the 1930s-1940s. The last part of the course will focus on the evolution of political and diplomatic relations between Europe after 1945 and the emergence of a new world order, the beginning of the Cold War, and the evolution of political and cultural relations between the United States and the Old Continent.
At the end of the course, the student should be able to attain a high degree of knowledge regarding: a) the periodization of the historical phases considered, b) the events that characterize the historical events examined in the period under consideration, c) the different historical processes that totalitarianisms have generated and the transformation of relations between the United States and Europe, d) the historiographical interpretations related to these processes.

Double degree
The University of Verona, through a network of agreements with foreign universities, offers international courses that enable students to gain a Double/Joint degree at the time of graduation. Indeed, students enrolled in a Double/Joint degree programme will be able to obtain both the degree of the University of Verona and the degree issued by the Partner University abroad - where they are expected to attend part of the programme -, in the time it normally takes to gain a common Master’s degree. The institutions concerned shall ensure that both degrees are recognised in the two countries.
Places on these programmes are limited, and admissions and any applicable grants are subject to applicants being selected in a specific Call for applications.
The latest Call for applications for Double/Joint Degrees at the University of Verona is available now!
