SLANG UNIPD

SLANG aims to interact with a wider audience than that of academic and expert community. We consider the University as the privileged contest where it is possible to learn, elaborate, highlight and transmit social science methods and contents helpful to describe, to interpret and orient social transformation. Our particular concern is devoted to the promotion and orientation of the public debate on relevant issues concerning social control, labour processes, racialization and migrations such as: the increasing social inequalities, gender and class relations, transformations of labour, old and new racisms, the forms of violence and their legitimations, deviances and urban conflicts... The research group aims to promote forms of collaboration and reciprocal influence among different topics of sociology and other knowledge outlets wishing to share the same understanding of the public role of science and academia such as institutions at the service of the community. Our aim is to contrast..
