Description: By exploring a sequence of sites extending from urban parks in Rio de Janeiro to Rice University’s academic quadrangular in Houston, this course examines how green spaces have been socially constructed through laws, policies, design and institutional practices and how race and science have inflected in the politics and practices through which humankind interacts with non-human nature/the natural world. This course also explores acts of resistance and practices of space-taking and place-(remaking) by disenfranchised communities in urban and non urban settings.
