SUMMER WORKSHOP 2018 SYLLABUS
Diversity and Inclusivity in Planning: Alternative Discourses in Poetry, Prose and Practice
Course Description
This 12-week workshop bridges the disciplines of urban planning, architecture, sociology, and anthropology by providing a broad overview of alternative discourses with two core learning objectives and parts: 1) a deeper understanding of alternative perspectives beyond historical, planning literature that remains inherently gendered, hierarchical, and euro-centric, and 2) learning to inclusively review planning, public policy and literature of cities both within the domestic U.S realm and abroad of which are becoming increasingly influenced by immigration, multi-ethnic, and transnational communities and labor economies. Topics include decolonizing planning, indigenous planning, health and disability studies, environmental studies and food justice, LGBTQI and feminist planning, gender in disaster planning, Chicanx and Latinx planning, labor, (im)migration, borders (neo-liberalization and nationalism), urban citizenship, and political mobilization.
Readings in this course combine academic works related to urban planning and migration theory with works of poetry and prose from a variety of writers, academics, and poets of color, genders, and sexual orientations -- with the belief that poetry and prose deserves equal standing amongst more conventional, former methods of analysis (peer-reviewed books, articles, and academic works). Poetry and prose have often been a “major voice of [the] poor, [the] working class, [women of color]” due to its accessibility and low barriers of entry (Lorde, 1984). In reading works of poetry, fiction or memoir (often deemed too ‘unconventional’ for serious academic study or historically banned in their entirety by academic scholarship), students will not only gain exposure to prolific voices of individuals who have and continue to shape public discourses on gender, race and ethnicity in the urban/rural/bordered realms through this alternative, equally important means of literature, but also gain a deeper understanding of the planning practice and ally-ship through conscious-raising that such works can bring. This course does not claim to speak in the perspective(s) of topics listed below, rather, bringing to the forefront the existence and importance of such narratives to be included in the study of planning, city-making and governance.
Enrollment
This workshop is a free, community-facilitated, discussion based event that is open to the public.
Collect the readings by emailing syc2140@columbia.edu.
Feel free to join the workshop’s Facebook group to connect with peers, catch up with future meeting times, and share additional resources: https://bit.ly/2rlfMtQ
Workshop Expectations and Accommodations
Each meeting will focus on guided discussion and analysis of the current week’s readings with mini-lectures of case studies. You do not have to complete all readings - please feel free to pick and choose articles of interest. I encourage reading 3-4 articles in depth and then skimming the rest to have a well-rounded topic of the general session theme. I will be sending out general emails for each session - if you cannot attend a particular date that is OK! You will still be receiving emails on the mailing list.
I am available to discuss appropriate academic accommodations that you may require as a student with a disability.
All students are expected to practice empathy and sensitivity through ally-ship and keeping an open mind. We aim to keep this discussion space an honest and open environment to spread the passion and interest in this discipline as a source of enlightenment, empowerment, and joy.
About the Facilitator + Course Origins
Yee-Kay is an urban planner and educator in New York City. Her work straddles the disciplines of anthropology, sociology, and urban planning. @yeekaychan
This workshop attempts to fill the gap in knowledge within U.S. urban planning university curriculums by contesting majority discourse through discussion and dialogue of literature that in many cases, better suits the changing environment and diversity within cities.

Diversity and Inclusivity in Planning: Alternative Discourses in Poetry, Prose and Practice
PART ONE: ALTERNATIVE PLANNING PERSPECTIVES
May 21, 2018
01. Setting the Stage: Decolonizing Dominant Planning Discourses
This session sets the stage for viewing planning and social studies through means apart from dominant, settler-colonial discourses. What does it mean to decolonize urban planning and urban planning education? How can we reflect upon our role as planners and what is the value of difference in perspectives related to race, class, sex and personal identity? In what ways are/aren’t current mainstream education facilitating social justice narratives as they relate to urban planning, city-making and community development?

The aftermath of disasters are critical moments where clear discrepancies exist between advantaged and disadvantaged communities (notably with regards to citizenship and women, undocumented communities, and the disabled).

12. The Future Forward: Urban Political Mobilizations and Black Lives Matter
This session begins with analyzing historical legacies of urban political mobilizations, social movements and uprisings in the U.S., and ends with literature focused upon influential race/class based movements of today. We look at education and policy tactics, such as restorative justice, as well as more militant proposals for change while questioning mobilization impacts upon urban futures.
