EUS 118   Urban Worlds

Jonathan Anjaria

M . W . .

1:30 -2:50 pm

OLIN 101

SSCI/DIFF

As an introduction to the city, this course has two aims: to explore some of the essential concepts of urban theory, and to study in-depth urban experiences around the world.  Topics may include the city and marginality, urban modernity, consumption, gender and public space, gentrification, suburbanization, transgression, and urban nature.  Case studies may be from cities such as Lagos, New York, Paris, Dubai, and Rio de Janeiro. Class size: 20

************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

Note!  Professor Anjaria will also offer an EUS course in January:

EUS 204 Urbanism Unbound 

Cross-listed: Anthropology  2 credits  This course is an advanced study of the city that will take place in Mumbai, India during the winter break.   We will allow Mumbai's unique, vibrant and challenging urban environment to inspire us to think anew about urban processes.   Close attention to the lived experiences of the ordinary spaces of the city—the streets, sidewalks, shantytowns, trains and markets--will enable us to get a sense of the vast possibilities for organizing urban life.  Moreover, we will explore how urban space is contested and envisioned through a study of topics such as access to water, politics of slum removal, informal waste recycling and sustainability, media and civic engagement, urban environmental activism, the relationship of gender to urban development, popular culture, globalization and consumer culture and the politics of heritage conservation.  Student-designed research projects will be aided by meetings with scholars, architects, urban planners, writers and activists who play a central role in the city's public life.   Through this intensive study, we will explore how Mumbai's unique urbanism might help us understand some of the pressing issues of the contemporary urban world. Interested students should speak to Prof. Anjaria in the fall.

While prohibitively technical at time, some fundamental advances in environmental science can be translated into English and made at least partially palatable for the curious, motivated student. This seminar-style course will explore,  in detail, several key papers of recent years covering climate change, water resources and agriculture.

EUS 305   Urban Practicum:Trails

in the City

Jennifer Schwartz Berky

HDRANX 106 / OLIN 309

SSCI

The practicum provides EUS students with hands-on experiences that connect theory with practice.  The fall 2011 Practicum will work with the Kingston Land Trust, a new, very active organization committed to the protection and preservation of open space, historic sites, wetlands, scenic areas, and forests in the City of Kingston and the surrounding region. This Practicum will focus on the creation of an urban trails network that will ultimately reconnect the city of Kingston to its region through a multi-modal network on its abandoned rail corridors. The course will involve the use of various planning and community development tools, including community mapping and GIS, field visits and reporting, demographic research, community outreach, and public presentations.  A visit to New York City's High Line and Hudson River waterfront will be included to compare the benefits of trails in the city. Students with GIS training will receive priority; otherwise, a summer or other GIS introduction is recommended.  This course is required for the EUS major. Class size: 15
