Course Description
The “Miami the Sequel” seminar delves into the identity of Miami. Structured around fundamental questions—who shapes Miami, what defines it, where its boundaries lie, when key transformations occurred, why they matter, and how they continue to evolve—the course integrates fieldwork with critical reflection. Participants will traverse neighborhoods, institutions, and landscapes, interrogating both the mythology and lived realities of the city. This FIU Honors College seminar will explore Coconut Grove, Coral Gables, the Nike Missile Site, the Wolfsonian, Miami Metrorail, and the HistoryMiami Museum. This seminar is taught by Professor John William Bailly who spent a decade leading students on study abroad in Europe.
