SOCI 445 - Seminar in Urban Sociology: Housing America


Semester Offered: Second Semester
Credits (Range): 3 hours
Attribute: 3 SS
This course explores housing in the United States. Where people live impacts their quality of life – for example, the well being of children and adolescents, access to a quality education and to good jobs, housing values, personal safety, and the quality of social networks. Using historical, economic, and sociological perspectives we will examine residential location as an independent dimension of stratification and demonstrate how neighborhoods matter.
