Ryan's Global Cities Website

    This is the website I have created for my Semester at Sea Fall 2006 course Urban Anthropology: Global Cities.  We have been traveling the world for the past three months, examining the global effects of an increasingly transnational reality.  We have observed various examples of transnational spaces in various countries around the world, as well as contrasting the local, vernacular aspects.  On this site, I have posted six short essays as well as a comparative paper about a global city in the Asian and Mediterranean areas.  Enjoy the website!
