Dersin Amaç ve İçeriği

Course Objectives:

This course aims to teach students how to analyze the city where they live through theoretical readings and field work in urban sociology.

Course Content:

This class explores major themes in urban sociology and urban theory from their inception at the beginning of the 20th century until today. While our theoretical readings will deal with more general questions facing metropolises around the world, our empirical examples will stem from research by sociologists and geographers often focused on the city of Istanbul. Students will be asked to do four individual practical observation exercises in the city in application of the weekly readings.
