HIST - 4480 Seminar in Urban History
Description
This course introduces students to the field of urban history in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. We will adopt a transnational approach, surveying cities across the world and reviewing themes, debates, and questions that structure the field of urban history. Rather than telling a comprehensive history of cities over the past two centuries, we will focus on the tension between transnational processes and the select history of a number of cities across the world. Topics to explore will include migration, urban growth, class, race, and gender as categories shaping the urban experience, and transnational flows of ideas, science, and culture.
