This course is an introduction to urban studies, focused in particular on questions of space and place. Through fieldwork, readings, and discussion, we explore the urban landscape of Washington, D.C., seeking to understand the spatial organization of the city, the inequalities it reflects, and the implications for people and communities. What drives racial and economic segregation? How do we make sense of cycles of neighborhood development and disinvestment? This course asks students to consider the breadth of actors and forces that shape the city, and to reflect on what it means to seek justice within this context.

The Latinx Caribbean influence on Washington, DC is strong and growing. This class takes a multi-disciplinary approach to understanding that aspect of the city—delving into the push/pull factors of immigration, looking at the many contributions the Latinx community has made and understanding the many forms of injustice that they face. Students will get a chance to experience and interpret the cultural, socio-economic, geographic and political impact of the Latinx community on the metro area. They will gain insight into the current national debate on immigration issues and take the opportunity to critically reflect and analyze relevant issues through speakers, class discussions, readings, movies, visits to various community organizations, advocacy work, and a final research project. Core: WI & Fulfills CORE 300 Power, Systems, and Justice.
How are leaders made? In these critical times, what kinds of leaders does our society need? How is leadership best practiced? College students, at the cusp of adulthood in American society, stand at many crossroads. Life-altering decisions, vocational choices, questions about how and whom to serve can stimulate or, conversely, inhibit creativity, a willingness to engage in the serious issues of our day, and a commitment to serve others. This course will be taught in tandem with WCSC 285 and explores the many dimensions of servant leadership, starting first with traditional definitions and moving into frameworks of gender and race before engaging with the great non-violent servant leaders of the twentieth century. Throughout the class we will talk with local servant leaders in the D.C. area.
