Course Description
This exploratory seminar engages students with the many dimensions through which human rights, a disputed and yet predominant discourse often related to notions of democracy, rule of law, or social justice, intersects with society. The course begins by examining the concept of human rights by exploring its philosophical foundations and its history, and by discussing the various critiques which have been addressed to the concept of human rights and its application in practice. It then explores four key contemporary human rights issues, and the way they play out in law and societies. The first relates to the relationship between human rights and sustainable development, and raises the question of whether human rights can be harnessed to generate better, and more sustainable, forms of development, and if so how. The second focuses on the rights of cultural minorities, and raises questions about the relationship between human rights and citizenship. The third examines the relationship between human rights and feminist approaches, through the lens of women's sexual and reproductive rights. The fourth addresses the rights of the LGBT community and raises broader questions about how human rights claims relate to identity. Finally, the course engages students in exploring and reflecting on the practical dimensions of the field of human rights, through a human rights strategy design project.

Course Description
This course is part of the Laurea Magistrale program. The course is intended for advanced level students only. Enrollment is by consent of the instructor. The course carries out a comparative study regarding the main current European legal systems. In particular the focus is on civil law and common law in order to reconstruct the origins of a common legal culture with particular reference to private law and specifically to the law of obligations and contracts. In this context, the course investigates the persistence of rules and principles of roman law in the present system, working backward in search of the common legal bases that are the basis of the unification of the private projects in contemporary law. The aim of the course is to provide knowledge of European legal traditions, their origin in Roman and Medieval law and their subsequent development in two distinct areas: common law and civil law. At the end of the course, students are able to: understand the basis of the European legal tradition and distinguish it from that of other regions; know the origins of contracts and their differences in various national contexts.

Course Description
Criminal law has a central importance in criminology, since it is the criminal law which determines the legality or illegality of behaviors. This course studies social and political dimensions of the criminal law as it governs institutional processes and the construction of criminality. The first section covers differences in the ways that criminal law and criminology construct social issues as crime, with particular emphasis on the legal processes of criminal justice. The next sections provide substantive examinations of different aspects of the social and political dimensions of criminal law with particular emphasis on topical areas currently subject to contestation and change: such as the regulation of public space; and the ways in which the criminal law seeks to regulate the production of images.
