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.

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
