| CONTENTS |
This course introduces current literature on residential segregation with a focus on ethnic and socio-economic segregation in Europe and the United States.
The course begins by conceptualizing neighborhoods, a fundamental social unit in many segregation studies. The course then introduces measures of segregation, examining the varied dimensions of segregation captured by these measures.
