This course will examine the many faces and the resources and complexities of the fascinating, vibrant, so-called “Second City” of our nation.
Course Description
Throughout its 170-year history, Chicago has served as home to a myriad of immigrant groups, blossomed as an architectural wonder and theatre center of notable distinction, soared as an economic competitor to New York, and served as inspiration to numerous contemporary novelists and poets. Simultaneously, it has wrestled with urban challenges of crime, homelessness, inadequate educational resources, and unequal distribution of resources. Through a textual and experiential exploration of Chicago’s history, politics, social policies, literature, theatre, and architecture, students will interrogate the strengths, the challenges, the rich resources, and the inequities of our world class city to gain an understanding of its complex nature and to discuss ways to improve upon its greatness.
