The degree in Sociology lasts for three years (180 ECTS), with a solid training at the theoretical, methodological and courses specific to Sociology and offering the possibility of deepening specialised themes, through a wide range of optional courses.
The study plan includes multidisciplinarity, by opening to courses from other social sciences and from different disciplinary areas offered in other undergraduate programmes at the Iscte-University Institute of Lisbon.
In the framework of the plan, in addition to what has been mentioned, the following aspects stand out:
- In the second semester of the second year of the degree, it is possible to know other Social Sciences related with Sociology;
- In the third year of the degree there is the possibility of choosing between the branches of Sociology and Public Policy;
- Also in the third year, in the field of Sociology, students get in contact with several domains of sociology, with three mandatory specialised sociologies in each semester;
- In the last semester of the degree, an internship in Sociology is offered as an optional course, allowing direct contact with the labour market.
Some courses are taught both in Portuguese and in English, at different schedules. The option for a course in English represents an added value for the CV, in addition of enabling a deeper knowledge of the language.

Students may obtain course credit through one of two assessment modalities: continuous assessment during the semester or final assessment.
Continuous Assessment, consisting of the following components:
Group Work (40%)
Based on four group assignments carried out in class, each addressing the guiding questions related to the authors studied in the syllabus: What is sociology? What is society? How does sociology study society? What is modernity?
Two Written Tests (60%)
Conducted with consultation of the primary bibliography, each test covering two of the authors included in the programme. Test dates will be set by the Year Council.
Failure to complete any of the components of continuous assessment results in immediate failure under this modality, in which case students may resort to the final examination.
Remaining eligible for this assessment modality requires attendance of at least 70% of the classes scheduled in the academic calendar.
Final Assessment:
Failure to complete any of the continuous assessment components, or failing to achieve a passing grade through continuous assessment, leads the student to final assessment by means of a comprehensive written examination (resit/second session). The final examination is closed-book.

Students are expected to:
LO1. Know and understand the ways of constructing scientific knowledge, as well as its strategies and methodologies.
LO2. Know and understand the specificities of social sciences, and particularly sociology, in their own ways of knowing social reality.
LO3. Understand in a generic and introductory way the main methodological strategies and technical instruments of sociology.
LO4. Know research on the most varied aspects of social reality, reflecting on concrete ways of using scientific methodology and the respective results.

01. Preliminary definition of the object of sociology
02. Social determination of common sense
03. Science and epistemological rupture
04. Epistemological obstacles
05. Structure and action
06. Social problems and sociological problems
07. Specificity of sociology
II. Sociological method
08. Object of research
09. Strategies of knowledge
10. Methodological perspectives
11. Research stages
12. Methods and techniques
Students can achieve a pass in the Normal Assessment Season (aka 1st Season) in one of two ways: Continuous Assessment or Final Exam.
The option of final assessment by written exam (1st season) implies that students notify their teacher and that they do not take any assessment during the school term. If the student has taken any assessment during the term, regardless of the grade (positive or negative), he or she is considered to be in the process of continuous assessment in the first term.
Students who opt for a final exam may attend and participate in classes.
Continuous assessment involves the following types of work and their respective weightings in the final classification:
1. Attendance (5%): each student must attend at least 16 classes.
2. Participation (5%):
a. Individual presentation (optional).
b. Intervention in class (optional).
3. Group work and class presentation (30%) - compulsory.
4. Compulsory exercise in class 1 (25%).
5. Compulsory exercise in class 2 (35%).
Failure to complete any compulsory assessment element will immediately result in failure in continuous assessment and in the 1st Season.
Students are strongly advised to opt for continuous assessment.
The 1st season final exam, without consultation, covers the entire syllabus of the course and will have a degree of difficulty equivalent to the entire continuous assessment process.
In the event of failure in the 1st season, there is still the possibility of taking the exam in the Appeal Season (aka 2nd Season).
Likewise, students who are legally entitled to do so can also take part in the Special Assessment Period.
Students should consult the Assessment Instructions document provided by the teaching team.

Extensive Research Methods
At the end of the CU, students should be able to:
LO1. Define the main concepts associated with empirical research processes (object of study, theory, concepts, method, technique, hypotheses, indicators, universe, sample, etc.);
LO2. Identify the stages of an empirical research process
LO3. Design a research project using a questionnaire survey
LO4. Construct sampling plans
LO5. Create instruments for collecting information (questionnaire survey)
LO6. Analyse, interpret and present statistical data resulting from a questionnaire survey.
PC1. Research, methods and operationalization of conceptual units
1. Sociological and socio-political research: extensive methods
2. Framework for analysis and operationalisation of concepts
PC2. Delimiting the empirical field: population and sample definition
1. Statistical representativity
2. Main sampling techniques
PC3. Survey questionnaire
1. Construction of the questionnaire
2. Application of the survey
3. Online surveys
4. Planning data processing
PC4. Analysing survey data
1. Analysing the results
2. Presenting the results
Students can choose one of the two assessment methods provided for in the CU: 1) assessment throughout the semester; 2) assessment by exam.
- Assessment throughout the semester consists of: written group work (in two reports, a progress report and a final report) and an individual written test. The final grade is the result of a weighted average of the three assessment moments: group progress report (20%); final group report (40%); and individual written test (40%), provided it is equal to or higher than 7 points. Students who do not obtain a minimum mark of 7 in the test will fail the CU and will be admitted to assessment by exam. Assessment throughout the semester requires students to attend at least 50% of the classes. If the teachers deem it necessary, there is the possibility of an oral test, in complement to the written assessment components, as an additional element in the assessment (e.g. in situations where there is a need for additional clarification in the classifications).
- Assessment by exam takes place exclusively during the assessment period and covers all the material taught in the curricular unit. It consists of an individual written test. Students who have opted for this form of assessment and students who have not been approved in the assessment throughout the semester are admitted to this form of assessment.

Culture and Society
This curricular unit provides students with their first contact with sociological science and its central concepts and themes. The main learning outcomes are to provide the following: a) To know the central concepts of sociological analysis and the main theoretical perspectives of its approach: culture, socialization, social interaction, social deviation, social control, structure and action. b) To develop the ability to relate the concepts studied with empirical research; c) To build critical sociological reflection, developing sociological imagination (C.W. Mills) in the study of social reality; d) To contribute to the development of general skills, such as: studying and researching individually, team working, interpreting texts and relating theory to empirical reality.
Program1. Culture and Society: an introduction to sociology
1.1. Previous questions and obstacles to sociological knowledge
1.2. Possible definitions of sociology. What is sociology and what does it do?
1.3. The historical conditions of the emergence of sociology.
2. Culture and Society: central themes and concepts
2.1. The sociological concept of culture
2.2. Socialization processes: cultural transmission and social structuring of the individual
2.3. Social interaction
2.4. Deviance and social control
2.5. Ways of structuring societies: groups and organizations
2.6. The centrality of the concepts of structure and action in sociology.
Assessment throughout the semester requires attendance of at least 2/3 of classes and consists of the following: a) Participation in classes (20%); b) An analytical form, carried out in class, on text to be provided in advance by the teacher (30%); c) A written exercise (test) carried out on the date of the first exam period (50%). Alternatively, or in case of failure in the assessment throughout the semester, a final exam covering all subjects in the syllabus. The 1st season exam is intended for students who did not choose to be assessed during the semester. Students who choose to take the assessment throughout the semester and who have not passed it (failed or withdrew), can only seek approval in the 2nd exam period, also known as the appeal period.
Participation in classes consists of the involvement of students in carrying out practical exercises as a team, as well as in their oral interventions required by the presentations of these exercises and in their interaction with the teacher. The reading sheet on text(s) selected by the teaching team will reflect the students' ability to distinguish what the text's problematics are, its main concepts, its main propositions. The final written exercise aims for students to be able to articulate the themes and concepts of the program, and the theoretical diversity of its approach, in an adequate, comprehensive, and developed way.

Sociological Theory: Major Schools of Thought
(1) To contribute to the assimilation of a set of theoretical schemes (concepts, conceptual schemes, theories) likely to help individual thought in situations of research, writing, and critical debate.
(2) To contribute to strengthening the following skills:
(2.1.) to orient oneself in the sociological literature and in neighbour domains;
(2.2.) to read thoroughly academic texts, in particular original writings of classical authors;
(2.3.) to take advantage of texts written in foreign languages, in particular in english;
(2.4.) to reason about / by means of concepts;
(2.5.) to write scientific texts.
(3) All these objectives are linked to one central didactic aim: to lead the students to an effective reading and using of scientific texts.

Assessment of Sociology and Sociology PL students.
Assessment throughout the semester:
Includes two written tests; with consultation of the Syllabus.
In addition, interested students can elaborate a written exercise (as a voluntary 3rd assessment moment) on a contemporary topic (to be defined by the teaching team) that fits in with the sociological theories covered in this course. This exercise is carried out in person and will receive a mark that will be considered to improve the final assessment (each test will be worth 33%).
Assessment by exam:
The student may opt by final exam, no consultation material allowed.

Each test is preceded by a revision and Q&A class.
The tests are held after the completion of the lectures on the relevant parts of the programme.
The final grade is the simple average of the grades obtained in the three tests.
Alternatively, or in the case of failure in the continuous assessment, the student undertakes a final two-hour examination, corresponding to the same level of knowledge and competences as assessed during the semester.
Alternatively, or in the event of failure in the assessment during the teaching period, the student takes a two-hour final exam, corresponding to the same level of knowledge and skills in question in the assessment during the teaching period.

Assessment over the course of the semester is designed to determine the degree to which students have achieved the intended learning objectives (knowledge and competences). It comprises both individual and group work components, structured as follows:
1) Attendance and participation in autonomous learning activities proposed by the lecturer (20%)
2) Group portfolio (a collection of group assignments completed according to a guide provided by the teaching staff) (50%)
3) Final individual assignment, involving an in-depth reflection on ethical and professional issues encountered in the practice of sociology outside academia (30%)
The final individual assignment is based on a general theme proposed by the teaching team and is developed using artificial intelligence tools. All interactions conducted by the student across different AI platforms must be documented. Assessment focuses on the student’s ability to exercise informed critical thinking in relation to AI-generated outputs. In addition to submitting the written component, this assessment may also include an oral examination.
To successfully complete the semester-based assessment, students must achieve a minimum mark of 8 out of 20 in each component and must conduct at least one interview with a sociologist who has been professionally active outside academia for at least five years.
Although not recommended, students may choose to be assessed through a final written examination (100%).

Dependency Models in Data Analysis for the Social Sciences
During the learning process, students should achieve the following objectives:
LO1) Recognize the potential of Analysis of Variance and Linear Regression in social science research, as well as the situations and conditions in which they can be used;
LO2) Understand the key concepts underlying Analysis of Variance and Linear Regression;
LO3) Interpret accurately the various elements of the results of these analyses;
LO4) Conduct, in SPSS, the Analysis of Variance and Linear Regression, as well as all the procedures necessary for the preparation / processing of the input variables;
LO5) Systematize, present and interpret the results obtained in order to be used in a data analysis report or an article.
1. One-way ANOVA
a) Introduction;
b) Assumptions; Model and hypotheses; F-test;
c) A posteriori comparisons;
d) Discussion and presentation of the results;
e) Applications with SPSS.
2. Two-way ANOVA
a) Assumptions; Model and hypotheses; F tests;
b) A posteriori comparisons: with non-significant and with significant interaction effect;
c) Interpretation and presentation of results;
d) Applications with SPSS.
3. Linear Regression Model
a) Definition and assumptions;
b) Estimation of parameters; multiple correlation and multiple determination coefficients; Model inference;
c) Partial and semi-partial correlation coefficients;
d) Discussion and presentation of results;
e) Applications with SPSS.
Assessment throughout the semester results from 2 individual components: 2 written tests (40%+40%) and 1 SPSS test (20%). If the final grade is less than 10, students will be evaluated by exam.
Evaluation by exam includes 2 individual components: Written exam (80%) and SPSS Exam (20%).
Both the SPSS test (assessment throughout the semester) and the SPSS exam (in any of the exam periods) have a minimum grade of 8 points.
Students may be excused of the written or the SPSS exam if the result of this component in the first period is positive (at least 10 out of 20). This condition does not apply to grade improvement, which implies taking both exams.

Laboratory: Research Project in Sociology
By actively participating and sharing the task of constructing a sociological research project, it is intended that students develop practical competencies necessary to construct a research project with empirical focus, with relevance to the consistency between theory, methodology and analytical planning. Thus, the main competencies to be developed are: a) capacity to identify empirically and define sociologically informed questions; b) capacity to work with sociological concepts, methods and techniques and relate them to social questions; c) data collection and treatment of both primary and secondary sources; d) use of bibliographical sources, documents, data sets including electronic data sets; e) preparing a written sociological project and presenting it orally.
Program1. Organisation of the project (individual or group) and definition of research topic.
2. Bibliographical research and elaboration of reviews of the articles and other materials consulted.
3. Preparation and discussion of reference materials.
4. Access and use of available data bases.
5. Definition of the research question; construction of hypotheses and analytical model; methodology and research techniques.
6. Presentation and discussion of the analytical model, the methodology and the research techniques.
7. Preparation of data collection tools.
8. Research planning and chronogram.
9. Formal organisation of the research projects in both written and oral form.
10. Presentation and final discussion of the research projects.
The assesment in this course applies to practical competencies as defined in the objectives and complies with the rules and model of Assessment throughout the semester. It requires participation in at least 2/3 of scheduled classes and includes:
1) participation in classes (10%);
2) three oral presentations and three reading sheets (20%). Presentations are group presentations, but with individual assessments. Reading sheets are individual;
3) two research materials prepared and evaluated in a group (20%);
4) oral presentation of the research project (10%). The presentation is for a group, but the assessments are individualized;
5) written report of the research project (40%). The report is a single document with a common part and individual parts (one for each group member) duly identified. The classification of the report is individual, taking into account the common part and the individual parts.
Given the essentially practical nature of learning in this unit, the Assessment follows the Assessment model and rules throughout the semester, there is no assessment by exam, nor the possibility of improving the grade.

Programme Structure for 2025/2026
Classical Sociological Theory
(a) The acquisition of basic knowledge about the main theories, schools of thought, and authors of classical sociology. (b) The acquisition of basic skills in the use of key concepts and analytical statements of those theories. (c) The acquisition of basic skills of discussion and comparison of those concepts and statements.
Program1. Introduction:
1.1. The emergence of sociological thought
1.2. The founders: Comte and Spencer
2. Durkheim’s Positivist Sociology
2.1 The rules of sociological method
2.2 Division of labour and modes of solidarity
2.3 The study of the suicide
3 Marxist Social Theory: Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels
3.1 Dialectical materialism
3.2 Historical materialism
3.3 Classes, state and ideology
3.4 The origins and development of capitalism
4. Max Weber’s Interpretive (Comprehensive) Sociology
4.1 Interpretative sociology
4. 2 Society as power system: domination and stratification
4.3 The protestant ethics and capitalism
5. Georg Simmel’s Formal Sociology
5.1 The study of social forms
5.2 Individualization, conflict and change as social forms
The individual study of the assigned bibliography for each topic is guided and supported by regular class attendance.
Students may obtain course credit through one of two assessment modalities: continuous assessment during the semester or final assessment.
Continuous Assessment, consisting of the following components:
Group Work (40%)
Based on four group assignments carried out in class, each addressing the guiding questions related to the authors studied in the syllabus: What is sociology? What is society? How does sociology study society? What is modernity?
Two Written Tests (60%)
Conducted with consultation of the primary bibliography, each test covering two of the authors included in the programme. Test dates will be set by the Year Council.
Failure to complete any of the components of continuous assessment results in immediate failure under this modality, in which case students may resort to the final examination.
Remaining eligible for this assessment modality requires attendance of at least 70% of the classes scheduled in the academic calendar.
Final Assessment:
Failure to complete any of the continuous assessment components, or failing to achieve a passing grade through continuous assessment, leads the student to final assessment by means of a comprehensive written examination (resit/second session). The final examination is closed-book.

Culture and Society
This curricular unit provides students with their first contact with sociological science and its central concepts and themes. The main learning outcomes are to provide the following: a) To know the central concepts of sociological analysis and the main theoretical perspectives of its approach: culture, socialization, social interaction, social deviation, social control, structure and action. b) To develop the ability to relate the concepts studied with empirical research; c) To build critical sociological reflection, developing sociological imagination (C.W. Mills) in the study of social reality; d) To contribute to the development of general skills, such as: studying and researching individually, team working, interpreting texts and relating theory to empirical reality.
Program1. Culture and Society: an introduction to sociology
1.1. Previous questions and obstacles to sociological knowledge
1.2. Possible definitions of sociology. What is sociology and what does it do?
1.3. The historical conditions of the emergence of sociology.
2. Culture and Society: central themes and concepts
2.1. The sociological concept of culture
2.2. Socialization processes: cultural transmission and social structuring of the individual
2.3. Social interaction
2.4. Deviance and social control
2.5. Ways of structuring societies: groups and organizations
2.6. The centrality of the concepts of structure and action in sociology.
Assessment throughout the semester requires attendance of at least 2/3 of classes and consists of the following: a) Participation in classes (20%); b) An analytical form, carried out in class, on text to be provided in advance by the teacher (30%); c) A written exercise (test) carried out on the date of the first exam period (50%). Alternatively, or in case of failure in the assessment throughout the semester, a final exam covering all subjects in the syllabus. The 1st season exam is intended for students who did not choose to be assessed during the semester. Students who choose to take the assessment throughout the semester and who have not passed it (failed or withdrew), can only seek approval in the 2nd exam period, also known as the appeal period.
Participation in classes consists of the involvement of students in carrying out practical exercises as a team, as well as in their oral interventions required by the presentations of these exercises and in their interaction with the teacher. The reading sheet on text(s) selected by the teaching team will reflect the students' ability to distinguish what the text's problematics are, its main concepts, its main propositions. The final written exercise aims for students to be able to articulate the themes and concepts of the program, and the theoretical diversity of its approach, in an adequate, comprehensive, and developed way.

Extensive Research Methods
At the end of the CU, students should be able to:
LO1. Define the main concepts associated with empirical research processes (object of study, theory, concepts, method, technique, hypotheses, indicators, universe, sample, etc.);
LO2. Identify the stages of an empirical research process
LO3. Design a research project using a questionnaire survey
LO4. Construct sampling plans
LO5. Create instruments for collecting information (questionnaire survey)
LO6. Analyse, interpret and present statistical data resulting from a questionnaire survey.
PC1. Research, methods and operationalization of conceptual units
1. Sociological and socio-political research: extensive methods
2. Framework for analysis and operationalisation of concepts
PC2. Delimiting the empirical field: population and sample definition
1. Statistical representativity
2. Main sampling techniques
PC3. Survey questionnaire
1. Construction of the questionnaire
2. Application of the survey
3. Online surveys
4. Planning data processing
PC4. Analysing survey data
1. Analysing the results
2. Presenting the results
Students can choose one of the two assessment methods provided for in the CU: 1) assessment throughout the semester; 2) assessment by exam.
- Assessment throughout the semester consists of: written group work (in two reports, a progress report and a final report) and an individual written test. The final grade is the result of a weighted average of the three assessment moments: group progress report (20%); final group report (40%); and individual written test (40%), provided it is equal to or higher than 7 points. Students who do not obtain a minimum mark of 7 in the test will fail the CU and will be admitted to assessment by exam. Assessment throughout the semester requires students to attend at least 50% of the classes. If the teachers deem it necessary, there is the possibility of an oral test, in complement to the written assessment components, as an additional element in the assessment (e.g. in situations where there is a need for additional clarification in the classifications).
- Assessment by exam takes place exclusively during the assessment period and covers all the material taught in the curricular unit. It consists of an individual written test. Students who have opted for this form of assessment and students who have not been approved in the assessment throughout the semester are admitted to this form of assessment.

The option of final assessment by written exam (1st season) implies that students notify their teacher and that they do not take any assessment during the school term. If the student has taken any assessment during the term, regardless of the grade (positive or negative), he or she is considered to be in the process of continuous assessment in the first term.
Students who opt for a final exam may attend and participate in classes.
Continuous assessment involves the following types of work and their respective weightings in the final classification:
1. Attendance (5%): each student must attend at least 16 classes.
2. Participation (5%):
a. Individual presentation (optional).
b. Intervention in class (optional).
3. Group work and class presentation (30%) - compulsory.
4. Compulsory exercise in class 1 (25%).
5. Compulsory exercise in class 2 (35%).
Failure to complete any compulsory assessment element will immediately result in failure in continuous assessment and in the 1st Season.
Students are strongly advised to opt for continuous assessment.
The 1st season final exam, without consultation, covers the entire syllabus of the course and will have a degree of difficulty equivalent to the entire continuous assessment process.
In the event of failure in the 1st season, there is still the possibility of taking the exam in the Appeal Season (aka 2nd Season).
Likewise, students who are legally entitled to do so can also take part in the Special Assessment Period.
Students should consult the Assessment Instructions document provided by the teaching team.

Each test is preceded by a revision and Q&A class.
The tests are held after the completion of the lectures on the relevant parts of the programme.
The final grade is the simple average of the grades obtained in the three tests.
Alternatively, or in the case of failure in the continuous assessment, the student undertakes a final two-hour examination, corresponding to the same level of knowledge and competences as assessed during the semester.
Alternatively, or in the event of failure in the assessment during the teaching period, the student takes a two-hour final exam, corresponding to the same level of knowledge and skills in question in the assessment during the teaching period.

Laboratory: Research Project in Sociology
By actively participating and sharing the task of constructing a sociological research project, it is intended that students develop practical competencies necessary to construct a research project with empirical focus, with relevance to the consistency between theory, methodology and analytical planning. Thus, the main competencies to be developed are: a) capacity to identify empirically and define sociologically informed questions; b) capacity to work with sociological concepts, methods and techniques and relate them to social questions; c) data collection and treatment of both primary and secondary sources; d) use of bibliographical sources, documents, data sets including electronic data sets; e) preparing a written sociological project and presenting it orally.
Program1. Organisation of the project (individual or group) and definition of research topic.
2. Bibliographical research and elaboration of reviews of the articles and other materials consulted.
3. Preparation and discussion of reference materials.
4. Access and use of available data bases.
5. Definition of the research question; construction of hypotheses and analytical model; methodology and research techniques.
6. Presentation and discussion of the analytical model, the methodology and the research techniques.
7. Preparation of data collection tools.
8. Research planning and chronogram.
9. Formal organisation of the research projects in both written and oral form.
10. Presentation and final discussion of the research projects.
The assesment in this course applies to practical competencies as defined in the objectives and complies with the rules and model of Assessment throughout the semester. It requires participation in at least 2/3 of scheduled classes and includes:
1) participation in classes (10%);
2) three oral presentations and three reading sheets (20%). Presentations are group presentations, but with individual assessments. Reading sheets are individual;
3) two research materials prepared and evaluated in a group (20%);
4) oral presentation of the research project (10%). The presentation is for a group, but the assessments are individualized;
5) written report of the research project (40%). The report is a single document with a common part and individual parts (one for each group member) duly identified. The classification of the report is individual, taking into account the common part and the individual parts.
Given the essentially practical nature of learning in this unit, the Assessment follows the Assessment model and rules throughout the semester, there is no assessment by exam, nor the possibility of improving the grade.

Laboratory: Research Report in Sociology
The main competencies to be developed are:
a) empirical identification and formulation of sociological questions;
b) use of theory, concepts, and methods of sociological analysis applied to specific questions;
c) collection and processing of empirical data;
d) use of bibliographical sources, documents and statistical data;
e) quantitative and qualitative analysis of data and statistical techniques;
f) learning to elaborate a research report and presentation of results according to current technical norms and deontological rules, as well as the strengthening of inherent formulation and writing skills.
1. Brief presentation of the research projects and revision of data collection tools.
2. Data collection using research instruments and data sources previously prepared and defined.
3. Construction and validation of data.
4. Selection of methodologies for processing and analysis of data.
5. Analysis, interpretation, and formal presentation of data (analytical schemes, tables, graphs, etc.).
6. Systematization of results and elucidation of scientific and technical arguments.
7. Planning and formal organization of the report according to scientific, technical, and current deontological norms.
8. Preparation of research report for written and oral presentation.
9. Oral presentation and final discussion of research reports.
Students will participate in a number of systematic exercises covering main steps required to complete a research project in Sociology. This includes dealing out with original and secondary data available, favoring original data collection, processing, analysis, and interpretation, so as to accomplish oral and written reporting of research results. This course includes laboratory classes in research practices and techniques, fieldwork, seminars, tutoring, and group work.
Given the practical nature of learning, assessment complies with the model and rules of Assessment throughout the semester, there being neither final exam nor improvement of classification. Therefore, the assesment process requires participation in at least 2/3 of scheduled classes and includes class attendance and participation (10%), research materials for data processing and analysis (20%), the final report of research carried out (60%), and oral presentation and discussion of its main conclusions (10%).

To train critical reading skills in both academic and opinion papers published in the media.
Critical reading must observe the following grid: a) the author's path; b) historical circumstances of its production; c) the object and purpose of the debate; d) the identification of the main concepts; e) the relationship with other papers or debates.
Critical reading aims to qualify students for intervention in contemporary social debates, training skills in formulating arguments and proposing innovative solutions within the scope of their professional or research practices.
1st Part
General Introduction
- Origins: Industrial Revolution, French Revolution, Liberal State and Citizenship, Enlightenment
