Section Title:
Human Rights and the CIty
Section Info:
The city is culturally rich and diverse space used by all of its inhabitants for work, leisure, learning, and civic engagement. Inspired by Henri Lefelovre's Le droite a la vile/Right to the City published in 1968, a Right to the City movement has emerged in the 21st century that explores the relationship between the design and use of public space, citizenship and civic culture, and marginalized and excluded populations. Public spaces--their design, control, and use--are the focus of this seminar. As public spaces became the stage for emerging 20th century issues--everything from homelessness to teenagers on skateboards, from antiwar protests to free--speech activism--questions of who controls public space have become part of an on-going social struggle. In this seminar students will learn about: city spaces as places of social interaction and exchange among different cultural groups; the urban politics of social inclusion and exclusion; the link between public space and basic human rights; and governance and citizenship as they pertain to public space. First Year Discovery Program Course. Registration restricted to freshmen. Students should enroll in only one Discovery course.
