Course/Module description:
Since the birth of the sociological discipline, the city has been a central domain for the study of social dynamics. During the course we will explore the multiple approaches developed in the discipline to examine how place determines life chances, is shaped by political forces, is connected and echoes other places and more. Considering these, we will emphasize how the urban (and non-urban) space, brings new dimensions to social outcomes. The lectures will introduce main theories, concepts and processes around the world. However, the reading materials will focus on the phenomena in Israel. In our class discussions, we will distinguish between the similarities and differences of the global and the local and think together what is important to explore here.
