Sessional Lecturer: POL479H1 F, Topics in Middle East Politics (Comparative Urbanisms)
About The Position
This seminar explores what it means to generate theory from place and conduct comparative urban research. Bringing together readings from geography, anthropology, sociology, and political science, which take the city as their object of analysis, we will discuss the role of planning, speculation, technology, and nostalgia in shaping cities to pluralize the terrains from which we think not of one urbanism or urbanization process, but of multiple urbanisms that characterize the Middle East and North Africa region. The estimated course enrollment is 30 students. The class schedule is Thursday 3:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. The delivery method for this course is currently in-person, but may change as determined by the Faculty or the Department.
