COR 418 STREETS OF NEW YORK CITY
With New York City as the student's backdrop, this interdisciplinary seminar is designed to engage students in a deep understanding of the intersection of diversity with history, politics, culture and economics in the formation and impact of one of America's greatest city. Students will experience neighborhoods and streets and be guided through that experience with reading, writing and original ethnographic research on the people who immigrated and established the boroughs and economic sectors of New York City. Co-taught by faculty from across disciplines at the university, the course builds on the general education curriculum. This course takes place in New York City over 10 weeks. Enrollment is by application and there are additional costs for housing. This course is writing intensive. Open to students in the third or fourth year of study.
