This seminar examines the ways in which hurricanes, debt, and migration are major forces which produce and shape spatial inequalities in contemporary Puerto Rico. It approaches Puerto Rico as a network of conflicting forces, demands, and discourses, and compares the Puerto Rican context with other intensive politicized spaces. Students draw on and work with diverse sources of information including data about population displacement, urban destruction housing values and foreclosures, and reports and analysis of “expert” bodies such as FEMA, Puerto Rico’s government, and the United Nations. They consider how local and global organizing is challenging spatial inequalities, ­­­and reformat this information in a way that exposes some alternate images of Puerto Rico prior to these disasters and presents some new post-disaster visions of it.
