Tours for college, university, and graduate school classes
I have led versions (and/or combinations) of several of my tours for college, university, and graduate school classes (and sometimes even high school classes/summer programs), and visiting academic or study trips.
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 many interesting opportunities.
I often can adapt the tour to your particular needs. I appreciate being able to see your class syllabus, and a list of the books/resources being used, so I can best prepare.
