About Southside Chicago

Southside Chicago is a research archive that provides students with direct experience in social science research. This project is part of the Urban Research Workshop (URW), which is analyzing Chicago‘s Southside black communities, with particular focus on changes in these communities since the early 1990s.

The site was produced by the Columbia Center for New Media Teaching and Learning (CCNMTL).
