Special note:
Academic accommodations are available for students with disabilities who are registered with the Office of Disability and Support Services. Please schedule an appointment with the instructor early in the semester to discuss any accommodations for this course which have been approved by the Director of Disability and Support Services as indicated in your accommodation letter.
Class participation entails having read the required readings by the date they are scheduled and coming to class prepared to discuss them, as well as taking part in the unscheduled exercises conducted in class and on Blackboard. Attendance is mandatory, and missing more than two classes will hurt your final grade. Additionally, students are required to attend the lectures in the Urban Talk series outside of class time.
Students will work in groups of 2-3, conducting research in the field (i.e., taking individual trips into Poughkeepsie) and the archives, but will turn in individual 5-page reports by September 25.

Students will work in groups of 2 students and be collectively graded on a website presenting original political economy and cultural analyses of a contemporary themed space.
