please choose to focus on one topic from the course (e.g., public

housing, gentrification, education, environmental justice, etc.) in a particular city or

neighborhood. For example, you might look at housing affordability programs in Santa

Barbara, histories of redlining in Los Angeles, or the environmental justice movement in

the South Bronx (these are just examples). Part of your task is to do the research to figure

out a specific event or issue to look at, much like those we’ve covered in class, but they

should not cover the same material. To find ideas, Google is your friend! Another great

resource is local and national newspapers. If you need help identifying a topic, please email or meet with Prof. Kornberg.

Once you’ve identified a topic, your task is to write a 5-7 page paper investigating either:

A) the history of the issue, or B) how local communities and/or policymakers are trying to

address the issue today.

If you choose option A, you should describe a particular moment or event (e.g., redlining

or a social movement) and discuss how it shaped the city or neighborhood. Using at least

one key concept from the course, your essay should address the following question: Why is

this event so significant, and what has been its legacy?

If you choose option B, you should briefly introduce the issue and then discuss how it is

being addressed, identifying who is working on it, how they are approaching it, and what

potential or actual barriers they face. Using at least one key concept from the course, your

essay should address the following question: What do you think is the promise of this

solution, and what barriers does it have to overcome in order to be successful?
