Diversity, Inequality and Place

(7.5 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This module critically engages with the concepts of diversity and inequality and how they manifest in place, with a focus on local scales. Three key questions the module engages with are: "How are local places different from one another?", "What social, political and demographic processes shape inequality between people and places?", and "Why do spatial inequalities matter?". The course will consider international and internal migration, housing structures and gentrification, neighborhood representations and place belonging, and will engage critically with variety of types of data.
