This course is an introduction to the study of urban politics in the United States. We will focus on who is involved and influential in urban politics and how political processes in cities shape policies. Major topics include: urban political institutions; political machines; federal urban policy; race, ethnicity, and representation in cities; urban elections; and key policy areas within the urban and metropolitan context, such as: education, policing, development, and climate change.

For the Wikipedia assignment, the students will focus on editing existing articles on mayors in the U.S. They will be able to choose between 2 types of articles:

  • biography pages for people who are currently mayor or recently served as mayor of a US city
  • election pages for recent mayoral elections in the US (since 2019) Several of these pages are stubs or have limited content. But there are good sources available on these topics, particularly from local newspapers and other news media sources.
