| Content | This course focuses on advanced interdisciplinary research skills for Master in Critical Urbanisms students who are preparing for their thesis work. Students will be trained to bring together the research skills that were developed in previous modules (the Ways of Knowing the City module as well as either the Urbanism from the South, Urbanism across Geographies, or Anthropological Fieldwork modules.
