I am teaching a new online summer course — UP335: Cities and Immigrants.

 

This course introduces students to the experiences of foreign-born residents living in U.S. cities, towns, and rural communities. We examine the local policies that both welcome and integrate immigrants as well as those policies that restrict and exclude immigrants. By the end of the course, students will better understand the reasons for anti-immigrant backlash, the economic opportunities of immigration, and ways in which immigrants claim their right to the city. Students will have the option to participate in several half-day field trips in the Chicago area.

 

Please tell your friends and students about the course. I am happy to answer any questions about it as well, sharwood@illinois.edu
