Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:	The aim of the course is to develop the skills of discussing the relations between social movements and the components of the urban environment by making use of theoretical thinking practices.
Course Content:	In this course, the daily and collective rhythms of social and ideological practices in crisis spaces that are shaped by where various cultural, economic and political conflicts intersect in different geographies of the world will be discussed from the perspective of social theory.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) • develop the ability to discuss conceptual thinking practices over spatial and social structures.
2) • develop the ability to conduct research and literature review.
3) • develop their skills in writing articles and making references in line with research.
4) • develop their presentation skills.
