History
Undergraduate and Graduate Seminar
W 10:10AM-12PM
How does climate change transform how we read, write and tell urban histories? How can the so-called Anthropocene change how we do urban ethnography? How does it affect how we imagine viable, desirable urban futures? Finally, how do we reassess agency, social change, and collective life in the face of challenges brought about by the entanglement of human and non-human actions in phenomena like melting icebergs, air pollution, viruses and pandemics, floods and landslides, or rising sea levels? Addressing these questions requires expanding the temporal and spatial scopes and scales usually deployed in modern urban histories. We will focus mostly but not exclusively on case studies of Latin American cities.
