Department of Sociology, University of Ljubljana

The Study of Sociology at the Faculty of Arts of the University of Ljubljana began in 1960, and was thus the first and the oldest regular university study in sociology on Slovenian territory. Today, the Department of Sociology offers Bachelor of Arts programmes in Sociology (two-disciplinary programme) and the Sociology of Culture (single-disciplinary programme). The main areas of knowledge for students graduating with a BA in the Sociology of Culture are socio-cultural theory and research with an emphasis on expertise in specific cultural fields. In addition to these two programmes, the Department of Sociology also offers two multidisciplinary Master of Arts programmes in the Sociology of Culture and a PhD programme track within the Interdisciplinary doctoral programme in Humanities and Social Sciences.

In the academic year 2010/11 the department celebrated its 50th anniversary, organising round tables, lectures and re-evaluating the role of sociology in the Slovenian academic sphere. On this occasion the department organised a guest lecture by Professor Zygmunt Bauman.

Piran Days of Architecture

Organised by Obalne galerije - Coastal Galleries and, as of recently, also the DESSA Architecture Centre, the international conference Piran Days of Architecture has been going on annually since 1983. Mostly taking place in in the medieval coastal town of Piran, the conference aims to assess current trends in architecture and present the most progressive and innovative ideas of architectural and spatial production. It consists of lectures, workshops, exhibitions, and a competitive programme of architectural solutions.

The event is mainly held in the beautiful surroundings of the Tartini Theatre, though other venues such as the Monfort Exhibition Space, the Pečarič Gallery and the Meduza Gallery, Koper are also used for parts of the programme. The distinguished Piranesi Award is granted for best achievements in architecture along with two Piranesi Mentions and a Student Piranesi Award.
