Institution:

New College of Florida

Subject:

Anthropology

Description:

Anthropologists have developed a variety of approaches to the study of urbanism, a fundamental part of the human experience in recent millenia. Through a survey of cases, from Sumer to Mexico City, we will explore a range of techniques and theoretical approaches and evaluate their contribution to our understanding of the nature and culture of the city. The seminar will focus on several themes, including the origin of cities, conflict in relation to class, ethnicity and racialized constructions, urban change, and urban planning. Enrollment limited to 20 with prior work in Anthropology and/or Urban Studies preferred.
