PhD project title and a short abstract
The research project focuses on the presence of racism, ableism, and discrimination in the workplace within public administration. Using the DisCrit theoretical approach, it aims to develop inclusion skills for employees through training based on reflection and overcoming socially constructed discourses. The research-training intervention will be conducted at the Municipality of Santo Stefano Quisquina (AG), with plans to extend it to other municipalities in the Agrigento area to validate the theoretical model and promote a perspective shift towards inclusivity in the workplace. The research highlights how pedagogy, as an autonomous discipline grounded in epistemology, must assert a significant role in the human sciences by addressing highly relevant issues such as diversity, sustainability, and professional skills.
