CYPLAN 190-001 (#32685)
Instructor: Margaretta Lin
Fall 2021, 1-2 Units
There has been renewed recent attention to the historic role of planning and policy in perpetuating today’s racial exclusion and violence in low income communities of color. This course seeks to provide students with a theoretical framework of restorative justice in planning and policy through a variety of critical texts, media, and archives, including narrative, art, music, and film. We seek to connect the dots on historic racism in planning and today’s manifestation of structural exclusion in urban planning and policy. In order to avoid replicating harm, students will utilize a community partnership model that centers the lived experiences, experiential knowledge, and agency of impacted people and also engage in applied learning and creative storytelling for countering today’s structural injustice.
