GUS 4097: Gender, Race, Class, and the City

3.00 Credits

Temple University

This course looks at gender, race, and class in the city. We begin with the assumption that urban spaces are important indicators of experience, defining what is possible and thereby influencing the life chances of the people who operate within them. We pay particular attention to women, people of color, and people in poverty. We approach the city as a crucible and receptacle containing the ideas and experiences of these diverse groups. This is a writing intensive seminar, and you will be expected to write and share your ideas with others throughout the course. There will be opportunities to write and/or think about writing during each class period. Prerequisite: Four Geography & Urban Studies courses or any five social sciences courses or permission of the instructor
