Hi All - We have two exciting course offerings for this upcoming Fall 2019 semester! Please see the descriptions below! URBST 716 Immigration in Metropolitan NY Shaun Lin ?Tuesdays: 6:30-8:30PM In this course, we will discuss the history of immigration in New York City, its current formations and their implications on urban life. The geographic scope of migration is increasingly global, and this course is designed to examine the material formations of this global phenomenon on the urban scale. In the first part of this course, we will discuss the push and pull factors driving migrations, from global south to global north and from rural to urban, paying special attention to the context of immigrant settlement in New York City and their consequent entanglements with settler colonialism and racial capitalism. The second part of this course will focus on contemporary political issues impacting immigrant communities including: labor issues and class stratification, interracial conflict and cross-racial solidarity, global capital and immigrant growth machines, gentrification and displacement, and immigration enforcement and the carceral state. URBST 245W The Urban Economy Andres Bernal Tuesdays: 6:30-9:20PM What does it mean to propose alternatives for the future of our cities? When we think about the many dimensions of an Urban Economy, we are challenged to inquire into how we relate to one another, to our the environment, and to space itself. Today our cities face the urgency of challenges like the climate crisis, social decay and gentrification, mass incarceration, homelessness, out of control rent and housing costs, and debilitating health concerns. Urban Economy is about understanding the processes that provision and generate our livelihoods and social orders. In this class we will explore what it means seek new pathways and possibilities. We will look into various experiments and policy strategies including support for worker cooperative enterprises, participatory budgeting, and the prospect of a Green New Deal that seek to achieve shifts in paradigms and systems on the premise of sustainability, justice, and human well-being.
