Certificate in Heritage Studies - Living in Cities SOSA 3284   Living in Cities
CREDIT HOURS: 3
A higher proportion of the world's population lives in cities now than at any time in history. What perspectives do anthropology and sociology offer on cities and their inhabitants? This course explores the social dynamics that constitute 'the city' and surveys how social scientists have studied and engaged with cities and city-dwellers. It approaches 'the city' both as a whole and through its constituent parts: people and places. Examples may be drawn from cities large and small, near and far - including Halifax.
