This student showcase essay explores how researching the city informs learning about the city. In it, I examine my senior thesis project for the urban studies program at Barnard College, in which I argue for the use of container farms to expand urban agricultural education opportunities in career and technical education settings. I review my research process, results, and the argument I developed about Perkins Act funding being essential to such programs. Through my commentary, I demonstrate how completing an urban-focused thesis can change students’ perceptions of the urban built environment.
