For the major project in this course, you will conduct research, form an argument, and then present your argument to two different audiences. Your topic must, in some form, address a specific way the built environment or spatial design in the U.S. impacts society. Throughout this course, we are examining how spatial design constructs different experiences for different people, especially those we would consider minorities or subgroups. I will provide overviews on topics that fall within this category as examples of research within this field. However, you are free to pick any topic that interests you within this category.
