Course Information
Description
This seminar will explore the bidirectional relationship between place and politics: how does politics make place? How does place make politics? The first half of the course will cover texts in political science and sociology that document the link between politics and place, showing how public policies have contributed to residential segregation, spatial inequalities, and place-distinctiveness. Then, in the second part of the course, we will consider how distinct places produce distinct political behaviors and identities among their residents. The final project will be a research paper on a topic of your choice.
