- The objective of this course is to develop a deeper understanding of the transformation of urban life. We will apply a multidisciplinary approach in investigating the dramatic social, political/economic, and spatial changes that have occurred in U.S. cities. We will pay close attention to how these changes have structured institutions and ideologies of today's metropolis and resulted in differential experiences of ?belonging.? We will conclude by analyzing the possibilities for social justice within the culture of a postmodern metropolis.
