Content/topics:	“To be in the world, to be situated at all, is to be in place,” writes the eminent philosopher of place, Edward Casey, in his preface to -Getting Back Into Place: Toward a Renewed Understanding of the Place-World- (xv). In this joint venture between Sociology and American Studies, we will take an interdisciplinary look at the theory and practice of “places” (as lived and concrete) in a socio-cultural context so often (glibly) defined by a predominant global orientation. As a point of particular emphasis, we will discuss the peculiar and heavily contested place of the border, especially the Mexican – U.S. American border. Anyone interested in this class for advanced M.A. students should be prepared to read a variety of theoretical approaches to place and practices of place-making and open to investigate multifold senses of place from a pop cultural perspective.
