  • SOC-4090: Immigrant Experiences in the Global City: From Displacement to Self-Reinvention

    This course offers historical, methodological and theoretical tools appropriate to grasp the unprecedented cultural, economic, and political experiences of twenty-first century immigrants who end up in major cosmopolitan areas. We particularly focus on those settling in Los Angeles, an alluring newcomers’ magnet since the late 1700’s and today’s premier Western illustration of ‘the global city’. Characterized by accelerated urbanization, intense flows of information, technology, and world capital, as well as significant dependence on immigrant labor, the global city is a multilayered space where inequality and exclusion coexist with unique forms of urban participation and allegiance. How do immigrants cope with this extreme urban vortex? How do they navigate the global predicament? And ultimately, how do they negotiate their journeys from displacement to self-reinvention? In search for possible answers that may aptly grasp the nuances of social experience, the latest contributions of Sociology and Cultural Studies suggest the application of an ethnographic approach. It consists on learning to build up a mindful scholarly stance aware of the insider/outsider paradox, as well as to compile and analyze testimonial information in such ways that we can attempt to respectfully look at those experiences in their context, and in this case, do our best to remain inclusive of the immigrants? own perspectives.

  • SOC-4200: Race and Racism

    The purpose of this course is to equip students with a comprehensive understanding, both theoretical and applied, of race as a category of identity and racism as a system of domination and inequality. Students develop a keen awareness of major scholarly figures in the field of ethnic studies and learn the politics of theorizing and defining racial categories as an intellectual exercise. Students weigh competing perspectives, using historical and contemporary evidence, to examine what race is and how it works, including biological determinism, cultural pluralism, and social construction. The course pays close attention to the political context and effects of these theories; for example, the relationship between biological determinism, the eugenics movement, and immigration restriction in the 1910s and 1920s; and the links between the social construction/racial formation perspective and the civil rights and ethnic studies movements from the 1960s to the 1990s. Students critically analyze how racial categories (especially whiteness) have been constructed through the intersecting actions of government, capital, cultural producers, and everyday people.

  • SSC-5021: Modes of Inquiry

    We know in our heads, our hearts, our bellies, our dreams; through emotions and ideas and insights and intuitions and premonitions and visions and body sensations. With each of these aspects of our being, we inquire, both consciously and unconsciously. Epistemology is the investigation of knowing how we know. When we explore how we know, we stand in metaposition to our own knowing, that is, as a witness to our knowing. This witness stance offers a location of consciousness from which we can observe both ourselves and the world more accurately and more fully.

  • SSC-5061: Children and Social Justice

    This course begins with the assumption that children have an innate capacity to know themselves as socially just beings, though they may experience and actualize this capacity in different ways at different ages. Through the eyes of children ages five to twenty-five, learners will discover how children organize, see, know, feel, and learn social justice in their everyday life. Learners will explore how to nurture their own capacities for social justice through relationships and education so that they know themselves as socially just and can recognize and participate in social justice in all aspects of their lives through various applied practices.

  • SSC-5101: Journaling and the Art of Listening

    This course has three purposes: 1. To provide learners with an experiential method of developing their ability to listen to themselves and learn of themselves; 2. To learn, practice and develop listening as an activity to build relationships with self and others; 3. To come to their own understanding of the relationship between dialogue and consciousness. Through this course, learners will explore the works of various proprioceptive writers, and they will engage in the daily practice of proprioceptive writing and attend to developing their ears both for “inner” and outer hearing. In addition, learners will also explore the space that opens when humans listen deeply to one another, and when they invite the other to enter into their consciousness.

  • THE-3900: Do You Hear What I Hear?: What Our Voices Reveal

    This workshop addresses various aspects of the voice from the collective to the personal. As members of society, we hold views and attitudes about our world. These views encompass our voice, which serves as a basis for how we interact in the world and with each other. Our actual spoken voices are the auditory expressions of our voice, which convey personal information about our experiences, beliefs, and outlooks. This workshop will address various aspects of voice and speech from the cultural to the personal. In the lecture sections, students will consider these aspects and will be exposed to current ideas on vocal communication. Students will consider Standard Speech, variations of English speech, and the assumptions embedded in their uses. Students will be presented with audio/visual examples of speech varieties for discussion. In the experiential sections, students will participate in a vocal warm-up and will be exposed to exercises drawn from theatrical vocal training including relaxation, breath control, volume, articulation, etc. Students will address their own vocalizations and what they may convey in a relaxing and informative format. Wear comfortable clothes, and be prepared to enjoy being exposed to what actors know: the power of the voice to communicate your voice. No grade equivalents allowed.

  • URB-3031: Urban Studies: The City As Learning Lab

    We study the city so we can study ourselves - past, present and future - the strength and resilience of our communities, our planning missteps; class, race and gender; our accomplishments, our monuments, our mess and our most meaningful moments of human activity. In this course, we use major themes such as advocacy, policy, culture and environmental studies to consider the foundations of our urban experience - housing, quality of life, economic stability, climate change and public health impacts, the role of activism and politics - and those themes will guide us to locate, identify, assess and utilize the necessary tools for thoughtful and equitable change.

  • URB-3050: Social Theory of the City

    What does it mean to live in a city? How does urban life shape and construct our identities and experiences? What role do urban processes play in the construction of racial, ethnic, class, gender, sexual, and political identities? What do people mean when they talk about the ghetto, the inner city, or bringing life back to downtown? In this course, traditional urban concerns such as community, anonymity, social difference, spatial divisions, urban renewal/gentrification, safety, violence, and crime are examined anew through the lens of a broad range of social theory. Students work with theory from sociology, geography, media studies, ethnic studies, feminist studies, and queer studies to analyze critically the intersections between urban spatial form and the (de)construction of social categories. The course is organized around the analysis and deconstruction of a series of dualisms: center/periphery, native/foreign, white/black, rich/poor, civilized/savage, safe/criminal, private/public, male/female, and straight/queer. These dualisms reflect popularly held, but overly simplistic, assumptions about how social life in the city works. We will take the artificial divisions between these purportedly oppositional concepts as our entry point into a discussion of the greater complexity of urban social life.

  • URB-3130B: Radical Economy: From Inequality to Solidarity

    This class explores possibilities and opportunities for strengthening our communities by building self-reliance, solidarity and a more democratic economy. We begin with looking at our big problems, such as lack of access to healthy food, climate chaos, and the struggle for healthy and safe places to live and work. Many of these issues stem from an inequitable economy, as evidenced by the loss of social safety nets and the lack of opportunity for everyday well-being. In order to tackle these problems thoughtfully and effectively, we will consider an inspiring range of alternative economic tools and ways of thinking; creative and innovative methods such as time banks, worker owned cooperatives, participatory budgeting, social entrepreneurships, and community finance models. The growing movement of worker-owned cooperatives exemplifies the real-world opportunities of the solidarity economy; reflecting values, cultures and communities of cooperation, building relationships of mutual support, tackling shared responsibility and democratic decision-making. These opportunities serve to strengthen the diversity of local cultures and environment, as well as epitomize a commitment to valuing and celebrating our shared humanity. We explore the principles of solidarity and “just transition” in class, by learning from individuals and groups who are thriving examples of organizing new and creative forms of conceiving public space, cultivating and consuming food, promoting self-sufficiency, developing equitable economic models, and fostering healthy, just communities. We’ll examine and imagine our own place in the movement. Many local, regional, national and international initiatives are actively working to answer the call for a just new economy and sustainable future. In this course we will examine the current state of economic justice, assess and deconstruct the problems and root causes in financial systems, distinguish between the multiple perspectives of economic opportunity, investigate and analyze potential solutions, and create new pathways. Our course activities will include group discussion, reading reflections, access to new media, project construction, conversations with guest speakers, and writing support.

  • URB-4090: Immigrant Experiences in the Global City: From Displacement to Self-Reinvention

    This course offers historical, methodological and theoretical tools appropriate to grasp the unprecedented cultural, economic, and political experiences of twenty-first century immigrants who end up in major cosmopolitan areas. We particularly focus on those settling in Los Angeles, an alluring newcomers’ magnet since the late 1700’s and today’s premier Western illustration of ‘the global city’. Characterized by accelerated urbanization, intense flows of information, technology, and world capital, as well as significant dependence on immigrant labor, the global city is a multilayered space where inequality and exclusion coexist with unique forms of urban participation and allegiance. How do immigrants cope with this extreme urban vortex? How do they navigate the global predicament? And ultimately, how do they negotiate their journeys from displacement to self-reinvention? In search for possible answers that may aptly grasp the nuances of social experience, the latest contributions of Sociology and Cultural Studies suggest the application of an ethnographic approach. It consists on learning to build up a mindful scholarly stance aware of the insider/outsider paradox, as well as to compile and analyze testimonial information in such ways that we can attempt to respectfully look at those experiences in their context, and in this case, do our best to remain inclusive of the immigrants? own perspectives.

  • URB-4450: Working Toward a Healthy City

    Can cities and metropolitan areas grow in ways that are healthy, socially just, and environmentally sustainable?
