ST-Poli Econ/Urban Development
The world that we live in today is predominantly urban -- a phenomenon that is of recent origin. Indeed in much of the developing world, there is also a rapid urbanization of inequity as oppressed rural majorities migrate permanently or temporarily, and form the excluded urban majorities. This course provides perspectives from which the current urban moment in both the developed and developing worlds can be understood, analyzed, and critiqued. At the same time, cities are potential sites of resistance and emancipation, a theme that will be discussed in the course.
ST-Dissertation Workshop
The dissertation workshop is open to doctoral students who are at the stage of developing a dissertation prospectus. The goal of the workshop is to help students build skills and develop research practices, and to provide a collaborative forum for the purpose of putting together a dissertation prospectus. Through the course of the semester, students are expected to develop a research plan and timeline, share and comment on each other's writings and research ideas, and make significant progress on writing the prospectus.
