Mari Frank Interviews Scott Bollens, Researcher of Ethnicity and Urban Policy

Prof. Scott Bollens studies ethnicity and urban policy, development strategies, and regional and intergovernmental approaches to planning. Prof. Bollens' current book is City and Soul in Divided Societies. This book focuses on the historical, theoretical, and practical issues of urban divisions, but also uniquely provides a first-person account of conducting interview-based ethnography in these places of ethnic and nationalist polarization. The book puts forth facts, opinions, photographs, and observations in ways that bring to life the substantial challenges of living in, and governing, polarized and unsettled cities. http://socialecology.uci.edu/faculty/bollens
