Antioch University-System Administration

Subject:

Description:

This interdisciplinary course examines the theoretical contributions of urban sociology, urban anthropology and cultural studies relevant to situate the concepts of identity formation, agency, group identification, negotiation, activism and hegemony in urban settings. Through a combined exposure to lectures, readings, role-plays, world café-format conversation, discussion, educational media and on-line resources, students learn to detect, name, explore, describe, analyze and apply these theoretical concepts and their causal relationships. Weekly sessions will adhere to an inductive, scenario-driven learning model. Each class introduces a concrete urban experience of individuals and/or groups in Los Angeles, proceeds to assess its cultural and historical significance, gradually unfolds its theoretical backdrop, and concludes by revealing its overarching political design.
