DESCRIPTION
Florence is a world-renowned attraction: thousands of people every day crowd its small streets admiring the ancient buildings and artistic heritage. Less famous is the contemporary Florence as lived by its current inhabitants: an ethnically varied population with complex socio-cultural dynamics at play in shaping the identity of this fascinating city.
Even the shortest of walks can unveil this wealth for the eyes of the attentive observer and it is precisely this understanding that this course provides. Students analyze the complex dynamics that shape the identity of Florence by applying a critical perspective on the notion of globalization and by analyzing the socio-cultural forces at play both historically and presently.
Course is cross-listed with SOC345FLR.
