Preventing and combating gender-based violence: registration open for the advanced training course organised by the University of Palermo and the Sant'Anna School of Pisa. The didactic path is based on a multidisciplinary approach
To look at gender-based violence with a broad and, at the same time, specialised vision, guaranteed by a multidisciplinary approach: this is the rationale of the advanced training course "Preventing and contrasting gender-based violence", jointly organised by the University of Palermo and the Sant'Anna School of Pisa, scheduled from 6 May to 23 June, for which enrolments are already open, following the procedures indicated below. The course will unfold across 48 hours of lectures, which will take place in Palermo and Trapani weekly, on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. The scientific supervision is shared by Anna Loretoni (Full Professor of Political Philosophy, Dean of the Academic Class of Social Sciences at Sant'Anna School) and Giorgio Scichilone (Full Professor of History of Institutions, University of Palermo).
The didactic approach is multidisciplinary: among the teachers, there are lecturers with various academic or professional profiles; the programme embraces not only the perspectives of political theory, criminal law, psychology, linguistics and statistics, but also the experience and skills of civil society actors, engaged every day in actions to prevent and combat very different forms of gender-based violence, such as domestic violence, economic violence and violence facilitated by new technologies.
The course offers up-to-date information and reliable analytical tools to allow a multi-faceted understanding of the phenomenon of gender-based violence, offering useful elements for evaluating prevention and contrast measures that have been adopted at the national as well as at the European level, thus stimulating the discussion on possible innovations.
