Students explore prominent themes that have emerged in urban studies, including racial segregation, ghetto formation, citizen participation, cultural placemaking, economic and cultural globalization, social equity, immigration and migration, and climate precarity. Legally protected demographic classifications (such as a person's race, color, religion, age, sex, national origin, shared ancestry, disability, genetics, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by federal, state, or local laws) are not relied upon as an eligibility, selection or participation criteria for Tulane's employment or educational programs or activities.
