Spring 2018: Urban Special Topics

Growing up in the city has its challenges and its rewards. Children need safe places to play, quality schools, access to healthy and affordable food, as well as protection from the dangers of urban living. In this seminar-style course, we will address the unique experience of an urban childhood, from birth through the teenage years, and explore the public policies that affect their lives. Students may be engaged in a community-based project around the themes of the course.
