Hi,
I wanted to let graduate students know about my Cities in a Global Society course (SOCI 853) this fall. The course is open to all graduate students: MAs and PhDs.  We will explore urban sociology, critical urban studies, and globalization studies to understand cities in a global context. This course includes classics and some of the newest works in these fields. We will explore cities in the Global North, the Global South, and the Second World of socialism. We will focus on debates on global cities, modernism and post-modernism, informality, gentrification, displacement, and global urban inequalities, as well as examine a variety of methods to study urban trends. The syllabus is attached. Let me know if you have any questions. Johanna
