Course Description
From the time of Jane Addams and the pioneering works of Park, Burgess and Wirth of the Chicago School of Sociology in the 1920s and 1930s, there have been numerous attempts to analyze and explain the significance of Chicago’s diversity, its social problems and challenges facing the neighborhoods. This course will read some of the more important works from the “Chicago School” including Jane Addams, Twenty Years at Hull House; Robert Ezra Park and Ernest W. Burgess, The City; Harvey Warren Zorbaugh, The Gold Coast and the Slums; and more recent works by William Julius Wilson, More than Just Race; David Ranney, Living and Dying on the Factor Floor, or Robert Sampson, the Great American City: Chicago and the Enduring Neighborhood Effect.
