Mapping the Infinite City: Exploring New York's Immigrant Worlds

With field-trips allied to visits from the experts whose work is featured in Nonstop Metropolis¿linguists and demographers, activists and artists, scholars of race and of history¿this course will open our eyes to the splendid feast of the city's immigrant neighborhoods, the ¿gorgeous mosaic,¿ and explore the complex issues involved in immigration and city life. We will investigate the many ways that ¿a sense of place,¿ even in our globalizing age, remains crucial to residents of the city's neighborhoods¿and to all people everywhere.
