from Connie:
Since his appearance in class was such a hit, and since a couple of you inquired about the courses he teaches elsewhere at CUNY, I wanted to share the terrific syllabus for his sociology course that focuses on NYC. (As you’ll see, since he was kind enough to share it with me when I was planning the curriculum for this course, I cribbed liberally from it.) I really think if you read everything he suggested, not that that wouldn’t take a while, you’d really be an expert on NY.
And please, any thoughts about his appearance in class, don’t hesitate to share. No matter how long a person has been teaching, that person’s always gratified when students are responsive. Bill told me after class that the reason he stayed so long is because he enjoyed the evening so much, and that’s a compliment to all your smart comments and questions.
