Internship Opportunity in Health Services Advocacy The New York Metro area chapter of Physicians for a National Health Program (PNHP) has been working with a coalition of groups that advocate for a single payer health insurance system (Medicare For All) for New York State. See https:// www.nyhcampaign.org/learn<http://www.nyhcampaign.org/learn>. The New York Health Act has been passed several times by the New York State Assembly, but not by the State Senate. PNHP is offering a placement for 1 or 2 interns to do research on the impact of the law on employers, unions and workers, including transition planning for workers, and on the best "framing" for the legislation in the State Senate. The time commitment is for 7-8 hours per week for the fall semester. This is an excellent opportunity to learn about and participate in the process of advocacy in US health care policy. Please contact Professor Alice Sardell at alice.sardell(a)qc.cuny.edu<mailto:alice.sardell@qc.cuny.edu>to apply.

[UrbanStudiesCircular] Exciting courses for Fall 2018!
by urbanstudiescircular＠lists.qc.cuny.edu 02 Aug '18

02 Aug '18

Please consider registering for these exciting courses offered this Fall 2018! Urban Studies 102 - Making the City Work: Public Service Course Description:This course is an exploration of the scope and variety of urban institutions as they are revealed in the design and delivery of public services. It will focus, specifically, on "myths of public service," our common misunderstandings of how services work and what they are supposed to do. It will also emphasize opportunities for change within the context of the political environment and entrenched bureaucracies. Urban Studies 206 - Global Cities Course Description:Over-population, Climate change, bankruptcy, changes, or urban hazards?all caused by different systemic crisis in the environment, the economy and the society? have affected the evolution of the quality of urban life in global cities. These short and long-term stresses and shocks have brought substantial changes in the sustainability of urban systems. Global sustainability is increasingly an issue considering the impact that people living in cities have on the rest of the globe and the local sustainability of the cities themselves. Urban Studies 207 - Development of the Urban City Course Description:This course examines the changing structure, economy and demography of American Cities from the colonial era to the present. Beginning with the "walking city" of the colonial era, we will explore how changes in transportation technology, industrialization, population growth and patterns of immigration have shaped the course of urban development in the United States. We will also examine alternative visions for cities of the future. Urban Studies 310 - Community Organization Course Description: This interdisciplinary course analyzes the structure of urban communities and their efforts at organizing in the face of issues like housing, health care, land use, poverty, racism, pollution, and exploitation.?
