SUMMARY:Bluecoat: Bluecoat: Cities: a course in urban sociology\, with Dr P
 aul Jones
DESCRIPTION:Cities: a course in urban sociology\, with Dr Paul Jones\nLectu
 res are every Tuesday\, 10 - 11am\n\nLed by Dr Paul Jones\, Bluecoat's Soc
 iologist-in-Residence for 2017\, this introduction to theories and themes 
 of urban social life looks at how cities develop and shape the lives of th
 eir inhabitants. The most acute challenges of our age centre on cities\, w
 hich have always been sites where power is concentrated\, and starkly uneq
 ual access to resources are manifest.  It was against this backdrop that
  early sociologists were fascinated by the intensified and immersive socia
 l life of major nineteenth and early-twentieth century cities such as Berl
 in\, Chicago\, London\, and Paris. This course traces into the contemporar
 y context the intellectual influence of a group of early thinkers who betw
 een them laid important foundations for what has come to be known as urban
  sociology.\n\nThe course addresses three key themes: theories of the urba
 n\, which seek to understand the distinctive social life of cities\; socia
 l divisions and how they play out in particular cities globally\; politica
 l interventions that have sought to redress social problems in cities.\n\n
 In general terms\, the lecture course will respond to key questions such a
 s:\n\n 	How do cities develop?\n 	How does the city shape the realities of
  people who use its spaces?\n 	What are the implications of approaching th
 e city from a sociological perspective?\n\nNo prior learning is required t
 o attend the course\, which will include a reading list supported by a dis
 cussion group.\n\nUnfortunately\, Bluecoat are having issues with out onli
 ne booking so please call 0151 702 5324 to reserve a ticket.
