URBANST 102: Social and Urban Development in Beijing: Field Observation & Service Learning

In this course, we explore China's urban and social development through the lens of Beijing. We investigate issues such as land use and land rights, housing, education, migrants in cities, and the repercussions of unequal development and a frayed social safety net. BOSP students will communicate and share their unique perspective with students at the Stanford home campus who are also studying China's urbanization. While in Beijing, BOSP students will also have the opportunity to participate in documentary fieldwork: observing the city and its patterns of life, participating in field trips, and completing a service project with a Beijing community organization. Students will come away with an up-close view of the social implications of China's rapid economic and urban growth, and the ability to put a human face on the challenges of development. Note: Course is open to Stanford-in-Beijing students.

URBANST 114: Urban Culture in Global Perspective (ANTHRO 126)

Core course for Urban Studies majors. We will study urban space both historically and cross-culturally. Urban Studies, by definition, is an interdisciplinary field, where the methodological approaches draw upon a diverse set of analytic tools. Disciplines that occupy a prominent place in this class are geography, cultural anthropology, sociology, history, media studies, and literature. In this context, we will discuss the importance of cities around the world to the economic, cultural, and political well-being of modern societies and examine how forces such as industrialization, decentralization, and globalization affect the structure and function of cities.
