This course explores perspectives on urban ethnography with an emphasis on New York City – including specifically: the Brooklyn neighborhood of Greenpoint Williamsburg, the Morningside Heights Harlem neighborhood and Park Slope/Greenwich Village (Queering Space). We will also pay attention to the emergence of different kinds of social movements in comparative urban contexts in Europe, Africa and elsewhere. Questions of citizenship, ethnicity, race and poverty will be discussed within an analysis of increasing inequality precipitated by the ongoing global transformation of work and the restructuring of contemporary cities.
