“Fueled by a desire to probe the connections between cities in this country and abroad, Trinity has launched a co-curricular initiative this academic year, \u201cCities: Global Urban Experience across Time & Space.\u201d The lead professors are Dario A. Euraque, professor of history and international studies, and Garth Myers, Paul E. Raether Distinguished Professor of Urban International Studies. The half-credit course (COLL-131-01) is affiliated with 19 courses having urban themes. They include seven first-year seminars.
\n
\nAdditional courses will be offered in the spring 2013 semester, whose centerpiece will be a major symposium in April.Although the program — which builds on successful co-curricular initiatives that addressed \u201cDecolonization\u201d and \u201cBorder Crossings\u201d in the late 1990s — has been in the planning stage for nearly a year, the details were unveiled during a well-attended Common Hour event Thursday. An orientation opportunity for students and faculty will be Wednesday, September 12 from noon to 1 p.m. at the Center for Urban and Global Studies (CUGS), 70 Vernon Street.<\/p>\n

According to Euraque and Myers, the initiative will \u201cfacilitate broad and connected teaching and learning on the formation and growth of cities in the ancient and pre-industrial past, as well as the more contemporary urbanization and cityscapes.\u201d In addition to the linkages with regular courses, the program will includes a series of scholarly films, informal meetings and opportunities for engagement with Hartford.”<\/p>\n
