Additional Course InfoClass Number: 2199 Cities are dynamic sites of social change and social tension; impacted by migration, globalization, de/industrialization and technological shifts, Philadelphia is both the birthplace of American democracy and the nation’s poorest large city. This course will take a broad view of the nation’s first capital, in anthropological, geographic, and historical perspective. Our primary themes will be social justice and health. We will explore and analyze health, activism, inequalities, and social movements in the city through various lenses, including: food; migration and ethnic enclaves; the built environment; race, class and space; tourism and historical memory; policing; and education. This course is part of the Tri-Co Philly program and does NOT take place on campus; rather students will spend one week engaging in reading and discussion on our topics at the Friends Center in Center City and the following week visiting field sites throughout the city, engaging with speakers and conducting anthropological observation. All course travel costs are covered by the Tri-Co Philly Program. Students can learn more about the course at the Tri-Co Philly website (https://www.haverford.edu/philly-program/courses), which features course descriptions, scheduling information and faculty videos about the courses.
