This course examines how housing shapes individual, family, and neighborhood dynamics. Students will gain an in-depth understanding of homelessness and unstable housing, and will learn about housing problem that persist across the state of Oregon. We will also examine the meaning of home; the significance of homeownership in the United States; residential segregation; and informal housing. Students will learn how to think critically about the role of housing in enduring forms of race, class, and gender-based inequalities.
