About The Position

TAs will support the instructor in delivery of this course, which introduces students to the study of cities, the practices of building them, and the evaluation of those practices. Focusing on major developments in 20th- and 21st-century urban studies, students consider the evolution of foundational concepts such as “city,” “urban,” “urbanism,” “urbanization,” and “sustainability.” Students explore prominent themes that have emerged in urban studies, including racial segregation, ghetto formation, citizen participation, cultural placemaking, economic and cultural globalization, social equity, immigration and migration, and climate precarity. In its focus on sustainable urbanism, the course emphasizes perspectives that recognize the interconnectedness of natural and human systems and approaches that foster environmental and social wellbeing. Applicants should be students who have successfully completed this course in previous semesters; minors/majors in Sustainable Urbanism especially welcome to apply.
