Power, Justice, and the City
This course examines normative theoretical questions of power and justice through the lens of the contemporary city, with a particular focus on American urban life. It explores urban political economic problems, questions of racial hierarchy and racial injustice in the modern metropolis, and the normative and practical dilemmas posed by "privatism" in cities and their suburbs.

Took Power, Justice, and the City with Hayward - not all the material was interesting but there were some lectures/readings that were actually really eye opening. Would recommend if you're looking for a fairly interesting course with a cool field trip at the end

Power, Justice, and the City. It was writing intensive and since this professor is new to WU, her idea of writing intensive was spending just as much time rewriting each of the 5 papers, and all of them were worth the same! Very long, boring reading. Half the class pretended to understand. Check out ratings from Ohio State University.
