This text brings together few areas of anthropological interest, namely urban anthropology, fieldwork methodology, and anthropology of education. Its aim is to present the structure, dynamics and main results of an urban anthropology course as it was realized in the fall semester of the 2012-2013 school year. The course was devoted to the forced resettlement of the Roma population due to large infrastructure projects that were taking place in the vicinity of the two Belgrade bridges. Realization of this topic during the course entitled National Ethnology/Anthropology - City and Culture at the Department of Ethnology and Anthropology of the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Belgrade, represents the first in a sequence of students’ research projects related to acute socio-cultural problems in the cities of Serbia. The course was realized through group research, which included twenty-three senior year students. The purpose of the project was to study the situation in which the Roma found themselves after resettlement. Investigation was focused on the period after dismantling of two informal Roma settlements in New Belgrade - one situated below the bridge “Gazelle”, and the other beside “Belville”, the modern residential block near which the access roads to the new “Ada Bridge” were to be constructed. Conclusions and discussion deal with analysis of pedagogical and research outcomes of this integrally conceived and empirically oriented course
