Course Description:  This course provides an overview of theory, research and action in urban community development, housing, and related policies.  It will mostly focus on U.S. examples, but students are welcome to focus on international examples in their assignments.  It is a core course in the graduate programs in Community Development & Action and Community Research & Action.  The course helps students understand the context in which community development work operates (i.e., public policy, structures of disadvantage, and economics).  Theory around the nature of urban development, neighborhood change and community organizing/development will be discussed as they pertain to the practical knowledge and skills needed to operate effectively in the broad field of urban community development.  Community aspects of crime and crime prevention, the New Urbanist movement in planning and architecture, and participatory planning and design will also be addressed.

 

Course Goals: By the end of this course, we hope you will be able to do the following:

(1) Define, in multiple ways, the process of urban redevelopment and neighborhood change in all their complexity, contradictions, and paradoxes

(2) Understand in some detail the forces and organizations that are both driving and resisting

these processes

(3) Understand the impact that urban public policy is having on communities and development

in urban areas across the United States, surveying a range of domains

(4) Produce and present two seminar papers demonstrating an in-depth understanding of different community development or urban policy topics

(5) Complete a community development research project and contribute to a report analyzing the results of the project [see below; more information will be provided].

 (6) A major goal of this course is to prepare students for work in the complex field of community development occurring in cross-cultural settings, and in organizations characterized by diversity, or in institutional contexts which serve a culturally diverse clientele.  

 

Course Format:  Class meetings will be run as a seminar in which the instructor and individual students will lead class discussion of the readings and encourage questions on and debate of those topics.  There will be visiting speakers and team work in the field.  Lectures will typically be short and set the context for discussion.  The readings for the day on the schedule are to be read before the class period for we want you to be prepared to participate in the discussion.

The term project will also be planned and discussed periodically in class.  The exact schedule of topics and reading assignments may change.  Be aware of any changes.  If you do not think you can keep up with the readings, attend class regularly, and participate fully in the class project, you should drop the class now.

 

Graded Course Requirements (& % of course grade):

 

A. 2 Seminar [critical literature review] Papers (60%; each one: 3-6 single-spaced pages on a different week and topic; DRAFT DUE BY SUNDAY BEFORE CLASS; REVISED DRAFT TO BE GRADED DUE 1 WEEK AFTER PRESENTATION IN CLASS).  Identify 2 topics that interest you and the class session in the schedule to which it is most relevant.  You must have your topics approved by the 2nd week of class.  You should read the assigned readings related to each topic and look at any recommended readings, but must go beyond those and complete a thorough, critical, and synthesized review on each topic. Do a thorough search, especially of the recent scholarly literature on the topic using Sociological Abstracts, PAIS, Avery Index, and/or Proquest, etc.  Write a paper, summarizing and critically analyzing the primary reading you chose for the whole class and also relating it to the rest of the literature on that topic and to the text chapter. Post your draft paper to the Discussion Board at least 2 full days before the topic is scheduled.  Co-lead class discussion of the topic and paper on the day it is scheduled.  Every student in the class will be expected to read and comment (in class and on OAK) on each seminar paper. Papers may be revised based on comments and class discussion before being turned in for a grade. 

 

B. Community Development Research Project (30%):  This course generally involves a group community intervention project to help solve a specific problem in an actual, local community setting.  You will need to spend approximately 15-20 hours outside of class on the project.  The project's "client" organization(s) must be asked for their input on the project.  They will also be invited to class toward the end of the quarter to hear from you on the results of the project and to give us feedback. Your grade for the project will be based on a report or section of one, about 3 or 4 single-spaced pages long.  The project report must be clear, well-organized, and well-written; it should read like a detailed professional or research report.  You should write multiple drafts and get, and respond to, feedback on each draft.  The final report will be sent to the agencies and community organizations connected with the project and possibly others.  Students in 3600 may keep a project journal (optional extra credit), but must keep a log of time spent (and what you did) on the project. This semester’s project will focus on the Edgehill neighborhood just East of campus on the other side of Music Row.  More information will be provided in class.

 

C. Class participation (10%). This course requires significant student input and involvement.  Attendance is mandatory. [Missing 1 or at most 2 classes per semester for illness or work conflicts is excusable, but please email the instructors as soon as you know you will have to miss.] Participation in course activities, and especially class discussions, is essential.  Students need to come to class prepared, having thoroughly read the class material in advance of the class session. Throughout the term, we will be asking students to come prepared with questions to facilitate discussion of the readings.  Students may be asked to hand in these questions, which will be used in part to determine the participation grade.  Effective participation also means not distracting yourself or others.  Please devote your full attention to the class.  Use of computers, phones, or other material not related to course work is not permitted. 

 

For all the above, late work will lose points. Any missing units of work will be graded 0. Please talk to the instructor if you're having problems. The Vanderbilt Honor Code governs all course requirements. Violations include, but are not limited to, failure to properly credit sources in a paper, copying other students’ answers to quiz questions, and taking credit in a group project and doing less than your share of the work.  Student study groups and, with instructor’s prior approval, collaboration on presentations and projects are permissible. If you have any doubts how the Honor Code applies, please ask the instructor- not another student- for clarification. Uncertainty about the application of the Honor Code does not excuse a violation. Students who may need disability-related accommodations should contact the instructor as soon as possible. Also, please contact the Opportunity Development Center: 322-4705.
