Tours for college, university, and graduate school classes
Also available: two webinars (virtual tours) on the history of Coney Island, as well as a webinar on Atlantic Yards/Pacific Park. With appropriate lead time, I may be able to adapt other tours as webinars.
I have led versions (and/or combinations) of several of my tours for college, university, and graduate school classes (and even high school classes/programs), and visiting academic or study trips. I can adapt my Coney Island webinars (or digital presentation/lecture) for classes.
The tours can focus on various topics, including urban studies/history, architecture/planning, New York City/Brooklyn immigration, gentrification, and religious/ethnic diversity. Among the neighborhoods where I've led class tours include Sunset Park, Greenpoint, Coney Island and Brighton Beach, Williamsburg, and the Lower East Side. For urban planning and real estate development issues, both Long Island City and Atlantic Yards/Pacific Park present interesting opportunities.
I can adapt the tour to your particular needs. Seeing the class syllabus, and a list of the books/resources being used, helps me prepare.
I periodically ask participants about what they see (or what they think I want them to see), not to play "gotcha," but to get them in the habit of observation. That habit should be helpful as they observe the urban landscape, here or anywhere else, in the future.
Pricing: depending on the situation, I can sometimes be flexible on fees for classes.
