DESCRIPTION
This course seeks to explore the many questions that are being asked of citizens today in an increasingly urban world, using Prague as the basis for our academic exploration. This class will focus on studying and putting in perspective the increasingly intricate interplay between culture and urbanity and how they shape our notions of citizenship of the cities and metropolises that we inhabit.
Using the varied urbane environments of Central Europe's most exciting capitals along side major US cities, and then comparing them to Prague, the course aims to reconcile a theoretical understanding of what makes a global city with a pragmatic comprehension of the complex processes and actors that shape these cities today. With Prague as our classroom, the class will offer students the chance to compare Prague, historic and ripe for renewal, with other cities.
The course is divided into four modules that approach the course from theoretical, historical, locational, pragmatic and contemporary perspectives. See individual class descriptions for more details.
