Legal Clinic: "legal Gender Studies"

The course aims to combine the tools of legal conceptual analysis with the topics and purposes of gender studies, an interdisciplinary approach that investigates the constructions and effects of sexual and gender identities. In particular, through the study and discussion of Italian law, jurisprudence, and case law, the course seeks to achieve the capacity to integrate knowledge and to analyse, evaluate and manage the problems related to gender equality.
The course will deal with topics such as the concept of gender (and its distinction from the concept of sex), the juridical constructions of gender identities and their social equivalents, the gender legal discrimination and the legal instruments to make up will be discussed.

- Ability to apply the concepts and tools of gender studies to new legal problems
- Critical judgment acquired through discussions and debates in the classroom
- Development of a communication skill and excellent mastery of the concepts related to gender equality
