Demo-ethno-antropological disciplines
(objectives)
Aim of the course of Demo Ethno Antropological Disciplines within the integrated course of Human Sciences and Health Promotion is to provide students with knowledge on the theoretical bases of the Demo-ethno-anthropological disciplines and the understanding of importance of these disciplines in the context of clinical practice. Same of the main themes will be: culture as a construction of mankind, culture as a vision of the world, links between culture and health either on an individual plan and on a social one, the importance of anthropological context and of cross-cultural encounters in the clinic practice. These objectives will be achieved through lectures, seminars and interactive teaching activities, designed to facilitate learning and improve the ability to recognize and deal with the main issues related to the demo-ethno-anthropological plan in clinical practice.

Pacifici Noja Laura Elena
( syllabus)
This course is an introduction to ethno- anthropological demography and to the quali-qualitative studies of human population processes (i.e. fertility, mortality, and migration) with a holistic approach. Anthropological demography differs from formal demography in that it examines demographic dynamics in the context of a wide range of social, cultural, economic, and ecological variables. The target of the course of Demo-Ethno-Anthropological disciplines is to prepare a new generation of students to be able to cope with different situations working in national and international organizations operating in the field. The course provides an interdisciplinary approach to human-environment relations with diverse methodological skills and capacities. During the course many topics will be afforded. The topics will be related to demography, ethnology and anthropology. We will discuss globalization, major environmental changes. Topics involved include kinship, marriage, household organization, gender system, political economy, ecology and so forth.
