课程简介
宾夕法尼亚州立大学的城市和社区社会学蓬勃发展,这要归功于众多的学者学者,他们认为地方是社会生活中有意义的,动态的环境。我们的学院研究的与地点相关的主题的示例包括种族/族裔居民区的隔离和多样性,邻里变化,环境影响(对犯罪,健康,教育等),社区成长与发展,城市化,移民安置模式,地方纽带(人际网络,场所附件等)以及城乡贫困。这些主题中的许多主题都在不同的地理范围内进行了研究,范围从邻里到大都市甚至更远。尽管北美仍然是主要重点,但一些教师仍在调查世界其他地区的城市和社区现象。专门研究该领域的学生将受益于密切的指导
Urban and community sociology thrives at Penn State, thanks to a critical mass of faculty scholars who view places as meaningful, dynamic settings for social life. Examples of place-related topics studied by our faculty include racial/ethnic residential segregation and diversity, neighborhood change, contextual effects (on crime, health, education, and the like), community growth and development, urbanization, immigrant settlement patterns, local ties (interpersonal networks, place attachments, etc.), and urban and rural poverty. Many of these topics are examined at different geographic scales, ranging from the neighborhood to the metropolis and beyond. Although North America remains the primary focus, some faculty investigate urban and community phenomena in other regions of the world.
