Accademia Fiesolana is the SPS department’s introductory department seminar. Its objectives are to lay the groundwork for thinking about your own (and others) research as well as to become familiar with the research done in the SPS department.
It consists of seminar meetings in which the faculty members of the department introduce their research. There is also a session showcasing the department’s pluralism, in which two very different theoretical and methodological approaches to the same topic – identity – are brought together.
The workshops are voluntary, but recommended. The objectives of the three workshops are to prepare researchers for courses offered later in the programme and to brush up on some basic skills that researchers may need during their studies. They are offered as intensive courses over one week.
Block 1
