FYSP 082 - Space, Place, and Transportation Justice

FC NSMA QFR WINT

4 credits
In this course, students will learn how to think spatially and apply spatial thinking to transportation problems. We will draw from readings, art objects, planning documents, and site visits to define key concepts such as: location, scale, movement, and place. Students will also learn to be critical consumers of maps and spatial data. We will then employ spatial thinking to understand transportation issues in policy and practice. Through discussion, presentation, writing, and by walking around Oberlin and the region, we work to understand how the ways we move through the world are part of building a more just future.
This course is appropriate for new students.
