- Class Description:
- In this course students will understand, explore, analyze, write and experience how urban spaces are produced through the interactions of different social groups that come together in various urban spaces within a city. Students will understand, how urban spaces (cities) in the United States are created, (re)created and experienced in everyday life through different social group interactions. Students will explore how intersections of race, class, gender and sexuality help create diverse and often contested areas/neighborhoods within and among cities. Through theoretical, historical and contemporary perspectives of urban space, students will analyze and write about the production of cultural spaces in the city. In particular, students will explore the role of urban cultural systems through a series of films and novels that highlight different urban neighborhoods in the U.S. Finally, students will experience and analyze urban cultural spaces first hand through a required group active learning project. Students will have the opportunity to engage with communities, cultural spaces and places in the Twin Cities. The project will combine ethnographic, visual and other research methods to facilitate a process of analysis and learning through direct personal experiences. Please note that this is a writing intensive course. Writing-intensive courses require a significant amount of writing?minimally ten to fifteen finished pages beyond informal writing and any in-class examinations. Students in WI courses are given instruction on the writing aspect of the assignments, and these assignments include at least one for which students are required to revise a draft after receiving feedback.
