Infrastructures and Exclusion

5 credits

Examines the histories and politics of development, infrastructure, and spatial design. Through global and local case studies - railroads, highways, dams, zoning, borders, and transit - analyzes how exclusion is built into infrastructure through policy, power, and design. Students engage in community-based research to assess impacts and imagine more just infrastructures. Recommended: LSJ 200 or LSJ 300. Offered: jointly with GEOG 413.
