SOCI 308: HOUSTON: SOCIOLOGY OF A CITY

Fall 2026 · Section 001 · CRN 16058

Houston as an exemplar of contemporary urban change. The "golden buckle of the sunbelt"; recovery from the oil boom collapse of the 1980s into a restructional economy and a demographic revolution; the changing politics of education, quality-of-life issues, and interethnic relations, as they interact to shape the urban future. Guest lectures, field trips.
