04 Jun '20

Hello Urban Studies students, I trust you and your loved ones are safe and well. I also want to express my appreciation for all your extra effort in transitioning to distance learning during Spring 2020. I am writing to let you know that there are openings available in Summer Session 2 Urban Studies classes. These courses provide a great opportunity to study with our faculty current issues and challenges that define urban life and a more just urban future. All summer courses are online and seats are still available in: URBST 101, 3 credits. This course is an introduction to the field of urban studies. We investigate why cities are places of economic and political opportunity for some and of deprivation, discrimination, violence, and impoverishment for others. We explore different theories of urban poverty and inequality and examine the impact of immigration, racial segregation, suburbanization, public policies, and social movements on U.S. cities and their inhabitants. We pay special attention to the existence of inequalities based on race, class, gender, sexuality and analyze proposals to reduce these inequalities. URBST 103, 3 credits. This course provides an introduction to the study of urban diversity in the United States. It explores the different forms of identity, community and cultural belonging that dot the urban landscape, and analyzes the historical, social, political, and economic forces that shape the everyday lives of diverse urban populations. The course also analyzes debates over migration, assimilation, pluralism, multiculturalism, and cosmopolitanism and introduces students to urban studies' multidisciplinary approaches for the study of diversity and inequality. URBST 105, 3 credits. Examination of the governance of US cities, especially New York City, exploring the historical development of governmental structures, political parties, machine politics and reform movements in US cities. Theories of power in the urban setting, and the role of advocacy groups, ethnic organizations, business, labor, and other interest groups will be discussed. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. If you need assistance in registering for classes, do not hesitate to contact Ms. Jeanne Chan or Ms. Arooj Malik. All the best, Prof. Hum??

[UrbanStudiesCircular] Beyond Redlining: How the Theft of Black-Owned Land and Property Endures
by urbanstudiescircular＠lists.qc.cuny.edu 04 Feb '20

04 Feb '20

Beyond Redlining: How the Theft of Black-Owned Land and Property Endures Thursday, February 13, 6:30pm — 8:00pm Jerry H. Labowitz Theatre for the Performing Arts 1 Washington Place New York, NY , USA What does the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (TIAA), one of the largest pension funds in the United States, have to do with the Reconstruction-era Freedmen’s Bureau? What does forgery have to do with gentrification, or color-coded maps with closed fire stations? The processes by which Black Americans have been dispossessed of land and property are tangled, insidious, and enduring. Our discussion will expose the ways in which this theft takes place in both rural and urban contexts and consider effective methods to resist. Vann R.
