Program
Course title:
Sex and violence in racist domination: Frantz Fanon
Course content:
1. Firstly, the course will investigate the origin of the main modern political doctrines (absolutism, liberalism, democracy, and socialism) in the social contract theory.
2. Secondly, through Frantz Fanon and Angela Davis, the course will analyze how the point of view of racialized and sexed subjects allows a radical critique of modern political thought and its ontological foundation: the individual.
Methods:
Lectures based on reading and interpretation of the texts and discussions.

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!
