- ID 131 Local Action/Global Change: The Urban Context
Introduces students to urban settings as sites of political action and social and economic change. Texts explore the role of cities not only as local spaces but as nodes in global processes and networks. Texts focus on urban forms of activism including citizens organizing campaigns, anti-globalization protests, and grassroots claims to urban space such as guerrilla gardening. Students participate in a project at the community or wider level in order to learn about how activism works practically. Students will experience first-hand the opportunities and challenges to affecting change, protecting human rights or raising public awareness.
