A People's Guide to NYC

Inspired by the recently published book, A People’s Guide to Los Angeles, this assignment asked students at Queens Macaulay Honors College to construct an alternative tourist guide to New York City: a guide that highlights immigrant stories, prioritizes contested spaces, and creates a geographic record of sites of social movements and political struggles within the city.
Students selected a site in their own neighborhood or a neighborhood that was familiar to them, conducted research on the site, visited it to take photographs, and crafted a story about the site using excerpts from A People’s Guide to Los Angeles as a model.

Trailblazing Through Greenwich Village
Professor: Bernadette McCauley
ITF: Fiona Lee
Campus: Hunter
This website was created by Macaulay Honors students at Hunter College as part of their first-year seminar, The Peopling of New York, taught by Professor Bernadette McCauley. As part of their neighborhood study of Greenwich Village, each student conducted an individual investigation on a topic of their choice and produced a documented research paper which presented their findings. For the website project, the class chose to present their research papers as news articles, organized in three different sections: People; Culture; and Politics & Controversies.
