Longitudinal Data Analysis & Causal Infe
Longitudinal Data Anal &
Panel data or longitudinal data consist of multiple measures over time on a sample of individuals. These types of data occur extensively in both observational and experimental studies in social, behavioral, and health sciences. This course will provide an introduction to the principles and methods for the analysis of panel data. Whereas some supporting statistical theory will be given, emphasis will be on data analysis and interpretation of models for longitudinal data. Problems will be motivated by applications primarily in social sciences.
FAMILY ECONOMICS
Prerequisites: ECON G6211, ECON G6212, ECON G6411, ECON G6412. The course will focus on the economic theory of matching both from a theoretical and empirical point of views. It is intended to give the attendees an overview of the fundamental theory of the optimal assignment problem, as well as its application to various fields such as labor, family and transportation economics. A particular emphasis is put on the empirical aspects and identification issues, and the main matching algorithms will also be discussed. The last part of the course tries to make a link with matching games with nontransferable (or partially transferable) utility and attempts to provide a unified treatment.

Worldmaking in the Long Poem
In this seminar we will take as our topic the long poem and the worlds, exterior and interior, that it both perceives and creates. Following some initial conceptual work to pin down the genre (if that’s the right word for it) as it developed before modernism, the heart of the course comes in the close study of three main examples in their entirety:
The Seasons
by James Thomson,
The Task
by William Cowper, and
The Prelude
by William Wordsworth. These major English poems, which date to the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, are all about growth, and they are in truth really, really long. They just keep growing and growing. They push, you might say, against their finitude. We will confront their too-much-ness and figure out how to think and feel about it, but also how to work with it, how to ride it. From week to week we will ask how the expansiveness of these authors relates on the one hand to their smaller-scale poetic techniques and on the other to their grand social, environmental, philosophical, and spiritual ambitions. The sheer energy these works demand of their readers can (this is the gamble of the long poem) make experiencing them deeply meaningful. In their own time they became tremendously influential models, radically reshaping what poetry could do and be, and they still have much to teach critical readers and creative writers today. Interspersed among the main examples on the schedule will be a few other (shorter!) poems from the same period. Along the way, although our focus will stay on primary texts, we will sample several different works of exemplary criticism. And we will end our semester with a glance ahead to the twentieth-century long poem. Active contributions (in and out of class) to discussion, a short paper, and (of course) a long paper make up the required coursework.

Lanyer, Cavendish, and Hutchinson
Lanyer, Cavendish, Hutchi
This seminar will address the major works of Aemilia Lanyer (1569-1645), Margaret Cavendish (1623-73), and Lucy Hutchinson (1620-81). There are many differences between the three writers: one was a royalist, one a republican and one something in between; one was largely indifferent to religion and the other two were devoted Protestants; two were active in print, one only in manuscript; two were skilled linguists, and one only read English (or so she claimed). Yet they also had a surprising amount in common: all three were actively involved in the central political conflicts of their time and suffered losses, imprisonment, harassment, and/or exile because of their political views; two (Cavendish and Hutchinson) wrote accounts and defenses of (their positions in) the English civil wars (and contributed to political thought and historiography more broadly); two (also Cavendish and Hutchinson) were actively engaged with and contributed to debates in natural philosophy; and all three were astonishingly original, and creative writers of literary, philosophical and polemical texts. Students will discuss many aspects of these three writers’ work, including the books they read as well as those they wrote; the genres to which they were committed (and in which they innovated); the household, local, national and international contexts in which they worked and in which their work was received; and their interlocutors and critics. While the three authors will be the explicit focus of the class, we will also discuss the idea of “the woman writer” - one which deserves our skepticism.

Environmental Health Sciences
ENVIRONMENTAL HLTH SCIENC
Environmental factors have a profound impact on the public's health. Essential to understanding and addressing this impact is a focused study in basic and applied environmental health sciences. Environmental health problems intersect with health disparities, government policy, reproductive health, population shifts, and economic forces. Recognizing the need for a solid grounding in both environmental health sciences and the interconnections with other societal issues significantly improves the way we conduct public health research and professional practice. In this course, students will engage in scientific inquiry into environmental health issues and develop problem-solving skills for improving health at the local, regional and global levels. This course is part of the core-course requirement for the MPH.

Third Year Proseminar
This proseminar, which meets alternate weeks for the full academic year, is required for third-year PhD students in the Department of English and Comparative Literature. The seminar will help you prepare for orals, develop your dissertation ideas, expand your research skills, produce articles for publication, and generally extend your professional skills. While we will read some practical “how to” literature and models, the focus will be on writing, workshopping material, and discussing process (time-management, organization, etc). Both out-of-class assignments and in-class writing exercises should serve to extend your ideas—or shake them loose—and bring you closer to a dissertation that represents your vision, makes others want to read your work, and reminds you why you care. By the end of the year, you will have a polished dissertation prospectus and should have submitted at least one article for publication (or have one close-to-ready for submission). Above all, the seminar offers a supportive community, an opportunity to try out ideas (cooked or still raw), and encouragement from your fellow scholar-writer-thinkers as you progress toward your orals and dissertation.

Hitchcock / Theory
In the later 20th century, Alfred Hitchcock’s reputation underwent a significant critical revaluation. No longer viewed as merely the “Master of Suspense,” he—and his work—became central objects of poststructuralist thought, embraced not only by film theorists but by world-renowned philosophers and critical theorists. This is a course on both Hitchcock’s films and 20th- and 21st-century critical theory. In conjunction with the films, we will read key texts by Alain Badiou, Gilles Deleuze, Freud, Fredric Jameson, Jacques Lacan, Laura Mulvey, Jacques Rancière, Tzvetan Todorov, Slavoj Žižek (and others). We will develop skills in close cinematic analysis and the parsing of theoretical texts, while exploring keywords in literary, media, and performance theory (narrative, apparatus, ideology, dispositif, subject, performativity, affect, gaze, fetish, frame, screen, theatricality, etc.).

Sylvia Wynter and the Question of Litera
Sylvia Wynter & Lit Metho
The work of Sylvia Wynter presents readers with a multi-disciplinary corpus, spanning plays, critical essays, interviews, a novel, poetry, and dance. In addition to her overarching critique of the idea of “Man”, Wynter’s work invites us to rethink disciplinarity, genre, and how critical practice is defined. If we take seriously the creative component of Wynter’s work, the generative capacity and urgency of poesis, how then might we envision the contours and stakes of a “literary method” in the context of her work? By what means might we read her work, the kind of knowledge it produces by means of the literary, and the alternatives it offers us for thinking through the question of literary method? What, in short, does reading literature do? Does it reproduce complicity with or challenge the kinds of structures Wynter critiques?
Beginning with her essay “Rethinking ‘Aesthetics’” this seminar takes seriously the question of normative forces at work under the rubric of aesthetics to better understand elements at work (poetics, performatives, epistemologies, concepts) and the philosophic, anthropo-centric, ecologic, and racialized topographies that appear. The seminar is divided into three parts: the aesthetic, the performative, and the poetic.
Above all, this course aims to generate
readings
of Wynter’s work and its complex attentions to multiple threads and tensions that constitute and animate modern knowledge.

Art in Protest-Protest in Art
ART IN PROTEST-PROTEST IN
All art is political, but some art is made as a form of protest or to incite an audience to protest. Most often it is both. This course – though far from exhaustive in its coverage – will present a sample of genres (music, plastic arts, theater, dance, installation, photography) in a variety of locations and times to understand how art and artists have engaged in protest. Much of modern art is conceptual, using installations and performance, to communicate. Therefore, we will start the class by turning to T. J. Clark, the preeminent art historian, for his answer to the question, when did modern art begin? This question will lead us to explore the debate on the purpose of art. We will then move to how artists responded to moments of crisis in the early 20th century - world wars, economic depression, and the rise of fascism – because the art that emerged informs much of what we see today. Based on these foundational questions, the class will turn to case studies from around the globe.

Fundamentals of Toxicology for Health-re
FUNDAMENTALS OF TOXICOLOG
This course is designed to introduce the basic concepts of toxicology to students from multiple fields and disciplines related to health. Nowadays excellence in health research and in its translation to the public can only be reached through multidisciplinary team effort, and teamwork is always more efficient when its different contributors have an appropriate understanding of each other’s expertise. The objectives of the first part of the course are to detail the routes of exposure to xenobiotics (chemicals and drugs) and to trace the biochemical and biological pathways through which xenobiotics are absorbed, metabolized, distributed, excreted, and biomonitored. In the second section of the course, we examine the effects of molecular/cellular changes on the function of representative organ systems including the respiratory, cardiovascular, endocrine/reproductive, immune, liver, kidney, and nervous systems. Students are also introduced to applications of toxicology such as occupational and food toxicology. At the completion of the course students are expected to have an extensive toxicology vocabulary which will aid in their future collaborations in related disciplines. Students will also have a working knowledge of: 1) general toxicological principles, 2) inter-species and inter-individual differences in responses to toxicants, 3) the effects of several key toxicants on the normal function of several organ systems, and 4) the basic approach to applications of toxicology. The overall objective of this course is to provide the student with an introduction to the language and principles of toxicology such that these principles may be applied to public health and other health-related disciplines and communicated to the general public.

Principles of Epidemiology I
PRINCIPLES OF EPIDEMIOLOG
Epidemiology is one of the pillars of public health. Epidemiologists study the distribution and determinants of disease in human populations; they also develop and test ways to prevent and control disease. The discipline covers the full range of disease occurrence, including genetic and environmental causes for both infectious and noninfectious diseases. Increasingly, epidemiologists view causation in the broadest sense, as extending from molecular factors at the one extreme, to social and cultural determinants at the other. This course introduces students to the theory, methods, and body of knowledge of epidemiology. Principles of Epidemiology is designed for students in all fields of public health. The primary objective of the course is to teach the basic principles and applications of epidemiology.
