The satisfaction of human needs and aspirations is the major objective of development. The essential needs of vast numbers of
people in developing countries – for food, clothing, shelter, jobs – are not being met, and beyond their basic needs these people
have legitimate aspirations for an improved quality of life. A world in which poverty and inequity are endemic will always be prone
to ecological and other crises. Sustainable development requires meeting the basic needs of all and extending to all the
opportunity to satisfy their aspirations for a better life.
_ Brundtland, World Commission on Environment and Development
What I do I think about sustainability? Actually, I don’t like the word very much. The reason is that no one, as far as I know, is in
favor of un-sustainability, and so therefore sustainability tends to mean almost anything you want it to mean, and I think we
should be rather more specific than that. The other problem is that sustainability sometimes sounds a bit too passive and static,
and I think throughout history we have transformed our relationship to nature sometimes in good ways sometimes in bad ways.
And I think the question for us is how we are going to transform our relationship to nature in the future.
_David Harvey, interview @http://www.urbanintelligence.org
The right to the city manifests itself as a superior form of rights: right to freedom, to individualization in socialization, to habitat
and to inhabit. The right to the oeuvre, to participation and appropriation (clearly distinct from the right to property), are implied in
the right to the city.
_Henri Lefebvre, the Right to the City
What is sustainable development? What is a sustainable city? Is our best position, as weak and reactive as it is, to be against un-
sustainability? Has the term itself – sustainability – grown impotent? If sustainable development is a process and sustainable
cities the product, how do we gauge the success of our processes and products? How do we then employ that information in the
service of better outcomes? The objectives of this course are 1) to develop meaningful, useful, perceptive and perhaps
unpredictable definitions and parameters to help us determine what a successful sustainable city actually is and how it is
produced (if we can in fact determine either) and 2) to propose thoughtful, rigorous, creative arguments for projects, policies, or
other interventions that would transform our local condition and, perhaps through extension, others like it. This is not only an
exercise in metrics – though metrics may be part of the equation – but also an exercise in negotiation, in education, in
prophesizing, in critical and creative ...

Through the use of apposite technologies, students will be able to identify and gain deeper understanding of the various aspects of culture, and analyze how it affects other cultures.
This document outlines a project-based learning plan focused on culture and society. The plan aims to help students identify and understand various aspects of culture, appreciate cultural differences, and demonstrate literacy skills in studying other cultures. Students will learn about defining culture from anthropological and sociological perspectives. They will explore aspects of culture like being dynamic, shared, learned through socialization, and requiring communication. To do this, students will participate in icebreaker activities to find similarities and differences between their own families. They will also complete a KWL chart about culture and have an interactive discussion with visual aids. Finally, students will research and present on the aspects of culture of a chosen society through a digital group project and culture interview.

Assignment 2: (RA 2): Cultural Influences in Development
In this assignment, you will apply your knowledge of cultural influences on development to create psychosocial workshops for a specific population.
Tasks:
Scenario
:
As a human services administrator at a local agency, one of your duties is to write descriptions of the agency's community workshops to publish in the community's resource guide delivered free of charge to all residents. These are the titles of the workshops:
Single Moms
: A workshop for working mothers to help them balance work and home
Community Living
: A workshop for those transitioning from incarceration to society
Caregiver Parents
: A workshop for those taking care of aging parents, while also raising a young family
Parenting Teens
: A workshop to enable parents to help their teenage children transition to young adulthood
Your community largely comprises blue-collar workers, many of whom are working on either visas or green cards; thus, there are pockets of immigrant communities. Some of the workers are those who were reintegrated into society after prolonged incarceration (more than three years). The median age of the area is thirty-five years, and multigenerational households are commonplace. The public school system is underresourced, and truancy is a big problem. Many students do not complete high school, and standardized test scores are well below what is federally mandated for funding.
Directions
:
For each of the four workshops, write a 100- to 200-word description on the basis of the following:
Utilize what you have learned throughout the course to describe specific services that each workshop will include.
Tailor each description to the community and the target audience for the workshop.
Apply cultural and multicultural sensitivity within and across all descriptions. Remember, a single mother may also read the description for community living. Craft your descriptions to be readable and sensitive to all.
Account for individual differences and environmental contexts that will influence developmental changes.
Account for the role of culture in shaping attitudes, values, and behaviors.
For each description, write a two-page rationale. Use at least three references from scholarly sources to demonstrate how you determined which services to offer for each workshop.

COURSE DESCRIPTION
In this course, students are invited to explore the continuities, connections, trends, and
ruptures in world history from the late fifteenth century to the present. Throughout the
semester, we will investigate the historical processes that formed the modern world,
including cross-cultural interactions, capitalism, global migration, colonization and
decolonization, nationalism and imperialism, trade networks, revolutions, and war. The
course emphasizes the multiple perspectives and experiences that shaped world
history, including the determinant role played by non-European societies in making the
modern world. Course readings include a textbook and a set of primary sources that
provide a window into the diverse human experiences in history. Course assignments
include quizzes, primary sources and film discussion, and a final essay.
General Education (HS, DG)
General education courses aim to broaden the students’ minds and experiences by
equipping them to act thoughtfully and responsibly in society, make informed
judgments, and live lives dedicated to service, continued learning, and the joys of
intellectual pursuits for a lifetime. This specific course offers students an overview of
world history since 1500, broadening their cultural, historical, and philosophical
perspectives. Additionally, course assignments are designed to improve critical and
analytical skills essential to students’ intellectual and professional success. This course
fulfills the Historical Studies (HS) and Global Diversity (DG) requirements, as described
below.
Historical Studies (HS): The course’s readings, lectures, and assignments will expose
students to historically significant events, developments, or processes that formed the
modern world as a way of teaching them to understand the present and inquiry into the
future. The course assignments are centered on the collective discussion of historical
documents, allowing students to understand history as an exercise of rigorous research
and interpretation, rather than a collection of facts, dates, and names, or simply a matter
of opinion.
Global Diversity (DG): This course offers the opportunity to learn about societies,
cultures, and environments beyond the boundaries of the United States. The course
invites students to read about, discuss, and analyze a wide range of social, cultural, and
political perspectives that have shaped the modern world. By discussing global
historical processes, the course explores aspects of the histories of Asia, Africa, Latin
America, and Europe, focusing on the complex interaction among them from the late
2
fifteenth century onwards. The primary sources discussed in the assig ...

Final Paper: Image Analysis
15% of final grade
3-4 pages, double-spaced
As Dunaway argued in his article, images are prominent and powerful mediators of our culture’s beliefs about issues like race, class, gender, politics, and sustainability. Analyzing images, then, can help us gain a clearer understanding of the role media and organizations play in forming and perpetuating Americans’ views of environmentalism and sustainability. For your final paper, you will analyze an image that makes a statement or argument about the sustainability issue you focused your lit review and argument-driven article on. The image may be an advertisement, a flyer, a sign, a poster, a magazine cover, etc. Your analysis should be a rich one since you will have a greater understanding of the larger issue(s) surrounding the image’s message(s) after researching and writing your literature review and article. Your analysis will focus on what messages the image sends to its target audience about environmentalism or sustainability, how the artifact sends those messages (the rhetorical tactics used to persuade the audience), and how those messages may affect the audience’s beliefs and actions.
To Write Your Essay:
· Be sure to describe your image for your audience before you analyze it. Assume, here, that your audience is not looking at your image and needs to know what type of image it is (ad, poster, flyer, etc.), what it looks like, what it says, and where you found it.
· Make an argument about what messages you think the image is sending its audience about environmentalism and/or sustainability. Is it saying something about who is responsible for the problem and/or for solving the problem? Is it saying something about the consequences of environmental irresponsibility? Is it saying something about the issue in relation to race, class, or gender? Is it arguing for or against a particular practice or product related to sustainability? Etc.?
· To support your argument, tell your audience how the image is sending these messages. What rhetorical tactics are the creators of the image using to send these messages? How do the visual images, the text, the arrangement, etc. help send a particular message? Is it employing ethos, logos, and/or pathos to persuade its audience? If so, how?
· Discuss the implications of the messages the image is sending. How might the messages affect the audience’s beliefs or actions?
**Throughout the essay, think about how you might draw upon your larger understanding of the issues at hand in the image based on your work for the previous two papers. Will that knowledge help you understand and interpret the image’s messages? Can you use it to engage your readers in the introduction and/or contextualize your analysis in the conclusion?

COURSE DESCRIPTION
In this course, students are invited to explore the continuities, connections, trends, and
ruptures in world history from the late fifteenth century to the present. Throughout the
semester, we will investigate the historical processes that formed the modern world,
including cross-cultural interactions, capitalism, global migration, colonization and
decolonization, nationalism and imperialism, trade networks, revolutions, and war. The
course emphasizes the multiple perspectives and experiences that shaped world
history, including the determinant role played by non-European societies in making the
modern world. Course readings include a textbook and a set of primary sources that
provide a window into the diverse human experiences in history. Course assignments
include quizzes, primary sources and film discussion, and a final essay.
General Education (HS, DG)
General education courses aim to broaden the students’ minds and experiences by
equipping them to act thoughtfully and responsibly in society, make informed
judgments, and live lives dedicated to service, continued learning, and the joys of
intellectual pursuits for a lifetime. This specific course offers students an overview of
world history since 1500, broadening their cultural, historical, and philosophical
perspectives. Additionally, course assignments are designed to improve critical and
analytical skills essential to students’ intellectual and professional success. This course
fulfills the Historical Studies (HS) and Global Diversity (DG) requirements, as described
below.
Historical Studies (HS): The course’s readings, lectures, and assignments will expose
students to historically significant events, developments, or processes that formed the
modern world as a way of teaching them to understand the present and inquiry into the
future. The course assignments are centered on the collective discussion of historical
documents, allowing students to understand history as an exercise of rigorous research
and interpretation, rather than a collection of facts, dates, and names, or simply a matter
of opinion.
Global Diversity (DG): This course offers the opportunity to learn about societies,
cultures, and environments beyond the boundaries of the United States. The course
invites students to read about, discuss, and analyze a wide range of social, cultural, and
political perspectives that have shaped the modern world. By discussing global
historical processes, the course explores aspects of the histories of Asia, Africa, Latin
America, and Europe, focusing on the complex interaction among them from the late
2
fifteenth century onwards. The primary sources discussed in the assig ...

Final Paper: Image Analysis
15% of final grade
3-4 pages, double-spaced
As Dunaway argued in his article, images are prominent and powerful mediators of our culture’s beliefs about issues like race, class, gender, politics, and sustainability. Analyzing images, then, can help us gain a clearer understanding of the role media and organizations play in forming and perpetuating Americans’ views of environmentalism and sustainability. For your final paper, you will analyze an image that makes a statement or argument about the sustainability issue you focused your lit review and argument-driven article on. The image may be an advertisement, a flyer, a sign, a poster, a magazine cover, etc. Your analysis should be a rich one since you will have a greater understanding of the larger issue(s) surrounding the image’s message(s) after researching and writing your literature review and article. Your analysis will focus on what messages the image sends to its target audience about environmentalism or sustainability, how the artifact sends those messages (the rhetorical tactics used to persuade the audience), and how those messages may affect the audience’s beliefs and actions.
To Write Your Essay:
· Be sure to describe your image for your audience before you analyze it. Assume, here, that your audience is not looking at your image and needs to know what type of image it is (ad, poster, flyer, etc.), what it looks like, what it says, and where you found it.
· Make an argument about what messages you think the image is sending its audience about environmentalism and/or sustainability. Is it saying something about who is responsible for the problem and/or for solving the problem? Is it saying something about the consequences of environmental irresponsibility? Is it saying something about the issue in relation to race, class, or gender? Is it arguing for or against a particular practice or product related to sustainability? Etc.?
· To support your argument, tell your audience how the image is sending these messages. What rhetorical tactics are the creators of the image using to send these messages? How do the visual images, the text, the arrangement, etc. help send a particular message? Is it employing ethos, logos, and/or pathos to persuade its audience? If so, how?
· Discuss the implications of the messages the image is sending. How might the messages affect the audience’s beliefs or actions?
**Throughout the essay, think about how you might draw upon your larger understanding of the issues at hand in the image based on your work for the previous two papers. Will that knowledge help you understand and interpret the image’s messages? Can you use it to engage your readers in the introduction and/or contextualize your analysis in the conclusion?
Grading Criteria:

Cities are densities of stories, passions, hurts, revenge, aspiration, avoidance, deflection,
and complicity. As such, residents must be able to conceive of a space sufficiently
bounded so as to consolidate disparate energies and make things of scale happen. But at
the same time, they must conceive of a fractured space sufficiently large enough through
which dangerous feelings can dissipate or be steered away. (Simone 2004:11)
Course description:
The course introduces students to the field of urban sociology while taking our everyday
engagement with the city as a resource for critical reflection. It focuses on social
processes that define urban life, on the one hand, and the relationship between the city
and the self, on the other. The course covers a broad range of topics including street life,
urban violence, spatial and social segregation, gentrification, the impact of
suburbanization and globalization, urban citizenship, and the challenges posed by the
growing neoliberalization of cities. In addition to scholarly articles, the course draws on
literary texts, as well as fiction and nonfiction films as resources for thinking about the
social life of cities. Assignments will include a short ethnographic research project that
explores the everyday life of a public space in New York City. The course will prepare
students to reflect critically on urban life, and understand the study of cities not only as a
research tool, but also as a way to engage in the politics of everyday life.
Learning outcomes:
By the end of this course, students will be able to
• identify and explain the core questions, concepts and processes involved in the
study of urban sociology,
• understand the various social groups, political interests, technologies, and cultural
practices that shape cities over time and across space,
• critically evaluate and integrate information from various sources, including
written and visual materials, as well as personal observations,
• examine cities at a variety of scales - from street level interactions to municipal
politics to patterns of global change,
• work cooperatively in a small group environment.

Walking tour ethnography (25%):
For this assignment you will design a walking tour in the neighborhood where you live.
The purpose of this tour is to introduce your neighborhood to a person who does not live
in it. The duration of the walking tour should be approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Your own experiences of your neighborhood will not be enough to write this assignment.
However, you are required to use your own experiences as the basis for further
exploration. That is why, in preparation for the walking tour, you are asked to observe,
document and analyze everyday life in your neighborhood in a systematic manner. You
will try to understand the different layers of social life and the patterns of social
interactions that unfold in these urban spaces, drawing on concepts and issues covered by
the course readings, class discussions and films.
This preliminary ethnography will help you prepare a series of stories and facts that will
be used to present the places included in the walking tour. These narratives should, on the
one hand, clarify your own connections to these places and, on the other, seek to create a
connection between them and your audience (those who would join you on your tour).
The tour must include a variety of places ranging from cafes, parks, supermarkets, graffiti
spots, monuments, restaurants, shops, communal gardens, sidewalks, building walls, etc.
After designing the walking tour, you will have to put together a portfolio that (1)
introduces the places included in your walking tour, (2) presents the collected empirical
evidence that helped you design it, and (3) offers a 2-page critical reflection describing
what you have learned from putting together your walking tour.
The empirical evidence should include samples of field notes (for instance, descriptions
of the places included in the tour, snippets from conversations with neighbors, baristas,
shop owners/assistants regarding some of those places), and visual materials that helped
you design your walking tour. In addition to this minimum requirement, you are free to
include any other data you used to design your walking tour (this data can be historical,
archival, survey data, the census, newspaper articles, all sorts of visual illustrations, etc.).
Questions you should consider in your reflective essay:
Why did you choose to show these places? How does your life trajectory influence your
experience of these places? What kind of narratives did you use in order to give life to
these places? What kind of representations of the neighborhood/city do these narratives
(re)produce? Were there any particular spaces/stories/objects that you would have liked
to include in your walking tour but you didn’t? What does this tour teach you about your
own positionality, interests, your neighbors, your (discursive and embodied) knowledges
of the neighborhood, the city, etc.?
Mid-term exam: 15%
This assignment will be administered as a take-home essay. You will be asked to select
one from a list of three questions and prepare an essay of ca.1500 words.

(e.g. theories, concepts, contexts, authors, questions, issues). To help you better navigate
these materials and class discussions, create 2 entries per week, about one ample
paragraph each. Half the class will have to submit their TWO weekly entries by 11.59 pm
on Monday, the other half by 11.59 pm on Wednesday in order for everyone to have time
to read them before our seminar meetings. You are required to read all the entries before
coming to class. They will be used to frame our class discussions.
*Please note: this digital log MUST include items gleaned from both readings and films.
You should bring print outs of your entries to use as a tool during class discussions. You
will draw on this digital log when working on your ethnographic research and written
assignments.
Class participation (20%)
You are expected to attend each meeting, come to class prepared and ready to participate
in an informed discussion about all the assigned reading and visual materials. Your active
engagement with the readings and films as well as your participation in class discussions
and activities will be decisive in whether the course is a success for you. If you are not
keeping up with the readings you will neither enjoy nor benefit from the course.
Unexcused absences will be reflected in your class participation grade: for every
unexcused absence you will be deducted 2 points (out of the possible total score of 100).
See also under Lateness and Absences.
Please note that attendance is not synonymous with class participation. You have to
regularly contribute to class discussion to get a high mark for this component of your
grade. However, note also that effective contribution does not mean constant intervention
in discussion. You can contribute both by making comments and raising questions and by
knowing when to allow others to speak. Please be attentive to your mode of participation;
if you tend to speak up often, make sure you leave room for others; if you tend to be
quiet, make an effort to share your thoughts.
Readings
All the required and recommended readings are available on Canvas. This course is a
reading and writing intensive course. Please always print and bring the readings we are
discussing to class. Preparing notes on the readings is also highly recommended.
Canvas
There is a Canvas site for the course that contains important information about the course
including the syllabus, supplementary material and special announcements. Additional
handouts will also be posted here. Please make sure to regularly check this site for up-to-
date information on the course.
Resources
The university provides many resources to help students achieve academic and artistic
excellence. These resources include:
4. 4
• The University (and associated) Libraries: http://library.newschool.edu
• The University Learning Center: http://www.newschool.edu/learning-center
• University Disabilities Service: www.newschool.edu/student-disability-services/
In keeping with the university’s policy of providing equal access for students with
disabilities, any student with a disability who needs academic accommodations is
welcome to meet with me privately. All conversations will be kept confidential. Students
requesting any accommodations will also need to contact Student Disability Service
(SDS). SDS will conduct an intake and, if appropriate, the Director will provide an
academic accommodation notification letter for you to bring to me. At that point, I will
review the letter with you and discuss these accommodations in relation to this course.
The Student Ombuds
The Student Ombuds office provides students assistance in resolving conflicts, disputes
or complaints on an informal basis. This office is independent, neutral, and confidential.
For further details see: http://www.newschool.edu/intercultural-support/ombuds/
Policies and Procedures
Lateness and Absences
Absences may justify some grade reduction and a total of four absences mandate a
reduction of one letter grade for the course. More than four absences mandate a failing
grade for the course, unless there are extenuating circumstances, such as an extended
illness requiring hospitalization or visit to a physician (with documentation); a family
emergency, e.g. serious illness (with written explanation); or observance of a religious
holiday. The attendance and lateness policies are enforced as of the first day of classes for
all registered students. If registered during the first week of the add/drop period, the
student is responsible for any missed assignments and coursework.
Lateness is disruptive and disrespectful to other participants. For significant lateness, the
instructor may consider the tardiness as an absence for the day. Students failing a course
due to attendance should consult with an academic advisor to discuss options. Divisional
and/or departmental/program policies serve as minimal guidelines, but policies may
contain additional elements determined by the faculty member.
Late or Missing Work
Extensions will be granted only in exceptional and well-founded cases and must be
requested before deadlines become effective. Computer related problems do not qualify
as a valid excuse. Late submission of essays and project portfolios will be marked down
by 5% per day and will receive 0 points if turned in more than a week after the deadline.
Written assignments must be typed, double-spaced, and submitted either electronically
via Canvas or as a hard copy in class on the due date.
Use of Electronic Devices
Use of electronic devices (phones, tablets, laptops) is ONLY permitted when the device
is being used in relation to the course’s work. All other uses are not allowed in the
classroom and devices should otherwise be turned off before class starts. I may choose to
disallow any use of technology in the classroom and if any student consistently misuses
technology in class, you may be asked not to bring it or take it out.
5. 5
Academic Honesty and Integrity
Compromising your academic integrity may lead to serious consequences, including (but
not limited to) one or more of the following: failure of the assignment, failure of the
course, academic warning, disciplinary probation, suspension from the university, or
dismissal from the university. Students are responsible for understanding the University’s
policy on academic honesty and integrity and must make use of proper citations of
sources for writing papers, creating, presenting, and performing their work, taking
examinations, and doing research. It is the responsibility of students to learn the
procedures specific to their discipline for correctly and appropriately differentiating their
own work from that of others. The full text of the policy, including adjudication
procedures, is found at
http://www.newschool.edu/provost/academic-honesty-and-integrity-policy.pdf
Resources regarding what plagiarism is and how to avoid it can be found on the Learning
Center’s website:
https://www.newschool.edu/university-learning-center/student-resources/
Plagiarism is the unacknowledged use of someone else’s work as one’s own in all forms
of academic endeavor (such as essays, theses, examinations, research data, creative
projects, etc.), intentional or unintentional. Plagiarized material may be derived from a
variety of sources, such as books, journals, internet postings, student or faculty papers,
etc. This includes the purchase of written assignments for a course. A detailed definition
of plagiarism in research and writing can be found in the fourth edition of the MLA
Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, pages 26-29. Procedures concerning
allegations of plagiarism and penalties are set forth in the Lang catalog.

Disabilities
The University has a policy of providing equal access for students with disabilities. If you
need accommodations, contact Student Disability Services, which will provide you with
an Academic Adjustment Notice that you should bring to me. Student Disability Services
