Specs
This final exam should be type written, in 11 or 12 point font with 1 inch margins and double spaced. Unlike earlier papers, there is a hard cap of three full pages on this assignment. Finals that go over three pages will receive a 20 point deduction automatically. Finals that attempt to circumvent specs (using smaller margins, font, etc.) to fit the essay into the parameters will receive a grade of zero. Although I will not pay as much heed to organization, make sure to proofread as sloppy papers will receive lower grades.
Due
The papers are due in hard copy at my office, 217 Upham, by 3 pm, Monday, May 9. Late submissions will be deducted one full letter grade after 3 pm on Monday, another at midnight, and essays not submitted by midnight on Tuesday, May 10 will receive a zero. There will be a box outside the door for the papers beginning Monday morning.
Email Option: If you finish the final by 7 pm on Sunday, May 8 you may email it to me. Once you submit via email you may not edit or retract your submission. Emails failing to arrive will not be considered a valid excuse.
Question
In the United States evidence of globalization (as well as glocalization) is perhaps most obvious in cities. As Henry Yu argues, cities can be seen as points of intersection on broader maps of globalization and immigration, as places where networks and flows of people, culture, and capital are the densest. Your question is this: how do urban cultures and economies both reflect globalization in the United States and also perpetuate globalization abroad? Make sure to address both economic and cultural relationships. You dont need to formally cite any reading material but it might be wise to do so as the question requires some engagement with at least two class readings.
