SOC 6440
Urban Structure and Process

Course information provided by the 2014-2015 Catalog.

This seminar will provide a graduate-level examination of the social organization of urban communities. We will begin with the classic urban sociological theories of the Chicago School and recent extensions and revisions of this perspective. Then, we will consider both qualitative and quantitative approaches to the study of topics including urban social networks, neighborhood social context, urban inequality and social problems, and processes of urban change. Class meetings will focus on discussion of readings with the aim of identifying directions for further research and, in the second half of the semester, the development of research papers.


Permission Note Enrollment limited to: Sociology Graduate Students ONLY.

When Offered Spring.
