URBS 269b: Shades of the Urban
1.00 Credits
Vassar College
This course on the twentieth century urban American novel would richly contextualize works such as Call It Sleep (1934, Henry Roth), If He Hollers Let Him Go (1945, Chester Himes), and Bodega Dreams (2000, Ernesto Quinonez) to demonstrate the parallel phenomena (mass culture, exploited labor, social stigma, spatial and psychic claustrophobia) various working class ethnic communities have encountered while negotiating the challenges of urban life and assimilation into American society. Mr. Simpson. Not offered in 2008/09.

URBS 276b: Gender and Social Space
1.00 Credits
Vassar College
(Same as Women Studies 276) This course explores the ways in which gender informs the spatial organization of daily life; the interrelation of gender and key spatial forms and practices such as the home, the city, the hotel, migration, shopping, community activism, and walking at night. It draws on feminist theoretical work from diverse fields such as geography, architecture, anthropology and urban studies not only to begin to map the gendered divisions of the social world but also to understand gender itself as a spatial practice. Ms. Brawley. Not offered in 2008/09.

URBS 340b: Advanced Urban and Regional Studies
1.00 Credits
Vassar College
(Same as Geography 340b) Topic for 2008/09: Main Street and Mainframes: Landscape and Social Change in Poughkeepsie, New York and the Mid-Hudson River Valley. The history of small urban centers throughout America has been one of eras of growth and decline in response to local, regional and national social and economic forces. In this seminar we examine the local urban realm as a useful model for such urban trends as the changing nature of ethnic neighborhood composition during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; industrial expansion and later downsizing, especially as reflected at IBM; growth and decline of central business district functions such as retail on Main Street in the late twentieth century; developments in transportation modes and facilities, such as the auto-centered suburban landscape and shopping malls; public and private housing; and local responses to federal Model Cities and urban renewal programs. Local examples are also related to other cities in the region, especially with regard to twenty-first century efforts at revitalization. We take field trips throughout Poughkeepsie and its suburbs to study the changing cultural landscape. Mr. Flad.

URBS 350a: New York City as a Social Laboratory
1.00 Credits
Vassar College
In a classic essay on urban studies, sociologist Robert Park once called the city "a laboratory or clinic in which human nature and social processes may be conveniently and profitably studied." The scale, dynamism, and complexity of New York City make it a social laboratory without equal. This seminar provides a multidisciplinary inquiry into New York City as a case study in selected urban issues. Classroom meetings are combined with the field-based investigations that are a hallmark of Urban Studies. Site visits in New York City allow meetings with scholars, officials, developers, community leaders and others actively involved in urban affairs. Topics for the seminar may change from year to year, in which case the course may be repeated for credit.Prerequisite: Permission of the instructor. Not offered in 2008/09.
