Course Topic
Poverty & Place: Case Studies of Detroit and Flint
This mini-course will examine the historical context of how geography or “place” and poverty mutually reinforce each other through policy mechanisms such as housing covenants (white flight), tax policy (e.g., educational system differences), and shifts in employment opportunity in urban vs. suburban areas. We will examine these issues through the specific lens of race and class, as they have emerged to influence and perpetuate inequality in Flint and Detroit specifically.
