- Urban and rural studies is an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary field of study which draws upon the perspectives of political science, history, economics, sociology, urban and rural planning, geography, landscape ecology, sustainability and others for its content. This multidisciplinary course will provide a broad overview of some of these changes in the Czech Republic with a particular focus on the city Tišnov and its surroundings. Theories and concepts from various fields are combined to provide the subject matter for this course. Competing viewpoints are presented to encourage students to formulate their own critical thinking about the information. Urban and rural studies are a field in which diverse viewpoints are common. This course will provide a framework in which complex urban/rural phenomena can be analyzed and understood.
