Cross-Cultural Dialogue on Social Inequality

11/3/2014

0 Comments

 
This quarter, we have arranged for our students in the International Urbanization Seminar to engage in a dialogue with students from the École Supérieure des Sciences Économiques et Commerciales (ESSEC), one of France's top business schools. ESSEC is located near Paris, which provides numerous opportunities for interesting field work.

Using online tools, students from Stanford and ESSEC will explore the causes of gentrification and deprived areas in urban centers, and share explanations of how social inequality is manifested even in apparently well-off places like Paris and Silicon Valley. Media is increasingly focusing attention on these urban challenges, including evictions in San Francisco, tech buses protests, and the disputes over the Mission Soccer Fields.

We are excited to pilot this experience and hope students will critically examine both their home context, while striving to understand commonalities and differences in how other cities are developing.

We are very excited that International Urbanization alumni Caroline Nowacki could help facilitate and develop the exchange with ESSEC.
