Section Title:
Human Rights and the CIty
Section Info:
Are you interested in the design, control, and use of public spaces? Do you have questions about city spaces as places of social interaction and exchange between different groups; the urban politics of social inclusion and exclusion; the link between public spaces and human rights; and governance and citizenship as they pertain to public spaces? As public spaces become the stage for emerging 21st century issues?everything from homelessness to skateboarding teenagers, from antiwar protests to free-speech activism?questions about who controls public space have become part of an ongoing social struggle. This seminar will examine the emerging 'Right to the City' movement (inspired by sociologist and philosopher Henri Lefebvre's 1968 book of the same title) and explore the relationships between the design and use of public space, citizenship and civic culture, and marginalized and excluded populations. First year Discovery Program course. Registration restricted to freshmen. Students should enroll in only one Discovery course.
