Course Description
The global South is urbanizing at roughly twice the rate of the global North, yet dominant narratives of 'the city' continue to privilege London, Los Angeles, and Paris over Lagos, Johannesburg, and Mumbai. This course explores how cities of the global South are generating new bodies of theory, new forms of social life, and new imaginaries. It does this through novels, films, and other textual and visual representations of everyday urbanism, drawing on contemporary theory from the global South to help make sense of these discourses. Assessment: assignments (50%), final exam (50%).

Course Description

This is an introductory course in microeconomics, which exposes students to various microeconomic concepts and theories as well as the practical applications of these concepts. The course begins with a discussion of economic history and the characteristics of different economic systems, as well as factors influencing economic development following the Industrial Revolution. Hereafter, students are introduced to topics within the standard utility-maximization theory of consumption, including optimal bundle and indifference curve analysis. Students are then exposed to game theoretical frameworks to model social interactions amongst economic agents, before applying this framework to wage-setting relationships in the labor market. Applications of experimental economic methods are also briefly explored. Finally, students are introduced to the standard neo-classical theories of supply and demand as well as firms’ pricing decisions under differing levels of market competition.
