Here is Dr. Cope with some of the Geography students and Research Assistants who participated in this research in Fall 2005.

The students here are taking Dr. Cope’s course, “Children’s Urban Geographies”. In this course, we have two regular classroom meetings every week to discuss assigned readings on children’s geographies and qualitative research methods, and each student also completes a weekly ‘lab’ component of the course by working at the after-school program (the ‘club’) for one afternoon. At the club, students help children with homework, play games, observe children’s interactions, and also run their own mini research projects involving urban space. For some examples of these projects and to see photos from them, please see the “Research” and "Media Gallery" sections of this site.
