CULTURES AND SOCIETIES OF AFRICA* LECTURER: BELLAGAMBA ALICE
CONTENTS
The course explores slavery, the slave trade, and their aftermaths in contemporary Africa.
We will discuss the ways African represented the Atlantic Slave trade, the place of slaves
within African societies, the contribution of early anthropologists to the understanding of
African slave-systems, and the course of abolition in the 19th and 20th century. The di-
scussion reaches to present times with the study of the legacies of African slave past.
These legacies are varied: the heritage sites associated with the external slave trade, the
politicization of slave descendants in Mauritania, the resurgence of enslavement during
the civil war in South Sudan, the plight of girls and women in times of conflict, and con-
temporary examples of slavery-like exploitation. We will also learn about racial and de-
scent base kinds of discrimination that stem from the history of slavery.

EDUCATIONAL ROBOTICS LECTURER: DATTERI EDOARDO
CONTENTS
Robotic systems are increasingly used as didactic tools to promote acquisition of discipli-
nary and cross-disciplinary cognitive and social skills, not limited to the STEM area. The
course will be devoted to
1) the analysis of the theoretical and philosophical foundations of robotics and Artificial
Intelligence,
2) a reflection on the many ways electronic design and robotic programming can contribu-
te to the acquisition of disciplinary and cross-disciplinary cognitive and social skills in
scholastic and extra-scholastic contexts,
3) the acquisition of basic skills in electronic design and robotic programming which may
be functional to supporting didactic planning, training of teachers/educators, pedagogical
consulting.
The first part of the course will include dialogical lectures. The second part will massively
involve laboratory, hands-on activities, in which students will be guided in experimenting
with electronic design and robotic programming using the robots and facilities provided
by the RobotiCSS Lab – Laboratory of Robotics for Cognitive and Social Sciences of the
University.
