    Conference Paper
    Ethnic and Class Clustering through the Ages: A Transdisciplinary Approach to Urban Neighborhood Social Patterns
    (2009) York, Abigail M.; Smith, Michael E.; Novic, Juliana; Stanley, Benjamin; Boone, Christopher; Cowgill, George; Harlan, Sharon; Stark, Barbara
    From pg. 3: "In this paper we describe the initial stage of an ongoing transdisciplinary research project that attempts to forge a new approach to questions of the existence, variation, social context, and causes of social clustering within urban settings. We take a broad perspective by looking at cities from the present back to their beginnings in the Urban Revolution. Our point of departure is the notion that all cities share a set of basic social dynamics that permits comparative analysis of urban life using a wide perspective."
