The urban politics course examines several political and public policy issues in urban cities.  We will discuss issues such as downtown development, environmental justice, gentrification and urban housing issues, immigration, mayoral elections and governance, political incorporation theories, the city/suburbanization divide, the politics of urban education, urban policing, and urban revitalization efforts.  The class has both an undergraduate and a graduate section.  Also, I reserve the right to change the information included on the syllabus if necessary.
