GEOG 8215 - Urban Identities: Explorations of Power, Inequality, and Identity in Contemporary Cities
Contemporary cities are idealized as cosmopolitan places inhabited by residents of different genders, ethnicities, sexualities, classes, and other identities. Yet each of these intersecting axes of difference contribute to varied experiences, struggles, and uses of urban space. This course examines the production and maintenance of relations of power, inequality, and identity in contemporary cities. Critical frameworks in feminist, critical race, sexuality, post-colonial, and intersectional theory are used to consider the ways that intersecting power relations are spatialized and embodied, shape perceptions and understanding of space and place, and contribute to struggles for the right to the city. Such frameworks are applied to urban processes and problems relating to economic restructuring, housing, poverty, public space, and social movements.
