This course will examine the urban as a social, political, cultural, and economic formation, and set of social relations, with focus on Latina/o identities and culture(s). Urban scholars have long studied the changing and evolving city -- this course explores this notion in relation to Latina/o research, populations, and urban social change movements. We will examine historical and contemporary conditions and cover a broad range of topics including: urbanization, urban planning, place-making, social policy, migration/immigration, segregation, urban education, language, and more.
