Instructors: Benjamin Bradlow

For the first time, most people across the globe live in cities. Inequalities within both nations and cities are increasingly similar across national boundaries. We ask how the politics of formal and informal institutions in cities produce and change inequalities of shelter, work, race, and other social identities, across urban space. We analyze cases from across the globe, along with a range of social science methods and theoretical perspectives.
