Overview

We are very happy to announce the 2024 edition of the Capri IPSA Summer School
“Digital thinking: Concept Analysis in The Web Environment“, jointly organized by IPSA and Federico II University.

This leading IPSA program focuses on one of the fundamental challenges for political science: developing political science concepts. The theoretical framework and analytical tools that participants will use are based on the academic ecosystem called Hyperpolitics, which comprises books (Calise and Lowi, University of Chicago Press, 2010), working platform (www.hyperpolitics.net), hyperlinks and learning communities.

The Participants will develop their own matrices for Political Science concepts through an innovative mix of online learning and seminar activities. This formula is built on the consolidated and successful experience of Ph.D. programs in Political Science and previous IPSA International Summer Schools.

Details

The format and venue of this event are a perfect fit: the layout and flow of the picturesque Orlandi Villa and gardens reflecting the varied and fluid structure of the programme activities. With most of the theoretical input coming from the online MOOC component, the residential module focuses on application of the method and theory-building. The combination of comfortable study rooms, online workspaces, shady terraces and lawns, as well as mini lecture theatre, offers the perfect backdrop for the blend of formal and informal, individual and group reflection, discussion, tutoring and presentations that the Summer School offers. Work and relaxation merge over coffee and lunches served on the terrace.

SUMMER SCHOOL STRUCTURE: ONLINE & ONSITE

The innovative workshop formula of this year’s event has already been successfully experimented in previous residential courses. It is built on the consolidated format of the annual workshop, held from 2008 to 2017 in the Ph.D. program in Political Science of the Institute of Human Sciences (SUM), then at the Scuola Normale Superiore (SNS) of Pisa.

Module 1: Online course

Critical thinking through concept analysis

Participants follow the online course Understanding Political Concepts, by Mauro Calise and Werner Patzelt, published on edx.

  • The course covers the theoretical framework of the Hyperpolitics methodology for concept formation, and enables anytime, anyplace learning at participants’ own pace.
  • A battery of integrated tests and assignments measure learning. Attendance and successful completion of the MOOC module is a prerequisite to admission  to the second module.
  • Registration and fee for this component are directly on the MOOC website.

Module 2: On-campus workshop: Develop your own conceptual framework

In the interactive sessions, course instructors are on hand to facilitate and guide students as they draft their own paper and navigate the authoritative online Political Science resources they will need. Group discussion and feedback on all working papers will pave the way for a final paper and a presentation of each concept definition at the end of the Summer School.

The workshop will be held on September 4-8, 2024, at the wonderful venue of Villa Orlandi on the Island of Capri.
