Description:

Hall, Katz. This is a two-term course. Students must enter first term. Credit is given only on the completion of both terms. Course is not offered every year. The objective of this year-long course is to introduce students to the interdisciplinary field of Urban Studies. This graduate seminar will engage students in focused and ongoing interdisciplinary conversations about a number of issues related to conducting research on urban issues. A central objective of the course will be to apply insights from the readings and discussions to the design and completion of an independent research project. Readings in the first semester will include classic texts as well as recent empirical studies from a range of disciplines (anthropology, sociology, history, geography, political science). The studies will exemplify distinctive methodological approaches to research in and on urban environments and will focus primarily on issues of urbanization, social stratification, urban politics, race and ethnic relations, and global/local dynamics.
