| LIBS 624 - PSYCHOLOGY OF URBAN LIFE |
|
This course begins with a careful consideration of urban life, drawing upon writings by a variety of social theorists and social scientists. This review allows us to trace the development of ideas about urban life that have informed attempts by psychologists to understand the experience of living in cities. The remainder of the course involves an exploration of specific issues and topics that comprise contemporary urban psychology, e.g., the nature of urban friendships and community; living with crime and violence; stimulation, personality and adaptation; density, noise, pollution, and the reality of urban stress; and urban aesthetics and adventure. While the course will focus primarily upon the American city, material will also be drawn from work done in a variety of other countries.
