ECON & FIN MTHDS FOR SDEV

Prerequisites: Principles of Economics and one semester of calculus.
The objective of this course is to introduce students to the skills and methods necessary to understand and evaluate the economic and financial aspects of sustainable development. Throughout the course, students will compare competing objectives and policies through the prism of economic & financial reasoning. Environmental economics and finance are broad areas covering all the multi-faceted and complex interactions between the economic system and the natural environment. Financial markets are the primary source of signals used to direct economic activity in a capitalist global economy. Economic activity is the primary determinant of the quality and sustainability of the natural environment. Students interested in sustainable development who are unfamiliar with economics and who do not develop a facility with economic and financial concepts are severely handicapped in their efforts to increase the level of environmental responsibility embedded in economic activity. This course is intended to provide students with a flying introduction to key analytical concepts required to understand topics in environmental economics and finance and to introduce them to selected topics within the field. The first part of the course (the Analytical Toolbox) is designed to provide a set of portable skills for two sets of students: a) those who will work in fields specifically devoted to sustainable development who, as part of their work, will need to engage with sources of economic & financial information and with discourses where sustainable development is not a focus; and b) students who may end up following careers in organizations where sustainability is not the primary objective. The topics and readings in the second part of the course were chosen to facilitate a critical engagement with the broad intellectual framework underlying sustainable development from the perspective of economics and finance. The topics are intended to create a community of intellectual discourse on sustainable development that will spill over beyond the classroom to the conversations of students and alumni that will far outlive graduation. Offered in the Fall.

LAB IN WRITING FILM CRITICISM

Prerequisites: the instructor's permission. Non-majors must also submit a writing sample, approximately 3 pages long, to cj2374@columbia.edu.
This course will focus on writing fresh, original, lively criticism, and on creating strong arguments for your ideas. We will screen films from classics to some currently in theaters. We will read, analyze and evaluate critical responses to them considering some crucial questions: How do you approach a new film? How do you approach one that has been written about for decades? Students will write short reviews and longer essays, including first-day reviews of new films and a final paper taking a longer look at a director’s career. Screenings in and outside class will be followed by discussion of critical approaches to the films, and by in-class writing exercises. This course assumes there is no right or wrong in criticism, no single best approach, just stronger or weaker arguments.

IN AND AROUND ABSTRACT&EXPRESSIONISM;

IN AND AROUND ABSTRACT&EXPRESS;

In histories of twentieth-century art, Abstract Expressionism is typically treated as either a monument or a straw man. The first approach portrays “Ab-Ex” as a heroic movement that heralded the triumph of American painting and secured New York’s preeminence over Paris. The second reduces it to the epitome of everything that succeeding generations of artists would reject or critique: modernist autonomy, male chauvinism, cultural jingoism. In recent years, both these narratives have been significantly complicated, by scholars and curators who have situated Ab-Ex in a more global context, and by a diverse array of painters who have found renewed relevance in its principal aesthetic strategies. This lecture course will look “in and around” Abstract Expressionism in three stages. We will begin by surveying its major precedents in the first half of the twentieth century, including cubism, concretism, muralism, and surrealism. Then, we will explore how, in the years immediately following World War II, abstract painting developed differently in Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, Asia, and the United States. Finally, we turn to some of the major concepts whereby postwar painting has been understood, such as formalism, “action painting,” and calligraphic abstraction. Throughout, we will connect the work of individual painters to the larger themes of the postwar era: the aftermaths of Auschwitz and Hiroshima; the decolonization of the global south; the formation of international institutions; the spread of commercial culture; and the ideological divisions of the Cold War.

AMERICA, 1918-1945

PROSPERITY,DEPRESSION&WAR;

This course examines one of the most turbulent periods in modern American history: an era that began with the Great War, saw the nation in both its greatest economic boom and its worst economic collapse, led to another, even more catastrophic world war, and ended with the United States as the most powerful nation in the world. This course will provide students an understanding of how Americans navigated these major events and shaped the following developments that created the American experience as we might know it: the rise of the modern federal state in the New Deal; the transformation of work and business from the Roaring Twenties to the Great Depression and beyond; the crisis of democracy at home and abroad; the rise of the civil rights movement; and the foreign policy struggle between isolationism and internationalism.

US FOREIGN RELATIONS 1775-1920

Between 1775 and 1920 the US grew from a disparate set of colonies nestled along the eastern seaboard of North America to a sprawling empire that stretched across the continent and projected its influence into the wider world. In this course we will examine this transformation and evaluate the major trends in US foreign relations that drove it. We will comparatively analyze the competing visions for expansion advocated by various groups inside the US and the impact of expansion on peoples outside the growing nation. We will explore the domestic, economic, intellectual, and political origins of expansionism, survey the methods used to extend the nation's borders and influence, and evaluate the impact of these changes on the nation's values, institutions and history. Lectures and readings will introduce a variety of historical controversies and conflicting interpretations, which students will be expected to analyze critically in writing and discussions.

HEBREW FOR HERITAGE SPEAKERS I

Hebrew for Heritage Speakers I forms part of a year-long sequence with Hebrew for Heritage Speakers II. The course is intended for those who have developed basic speaking and listening skills through exposure to Hebrew at home or in day-school programs but do not use Hebrew as their dominant language and have not reached the level required for exemption from the Columbia language requirement. Heritage speakers differ in the degree of their fluency, but their vocabulary is often limited to topics in daily life and many lack skills in reading and writing to match their ability to converse. The course focuses on grammar and vocabulary enrichment, exposing students to a variety of cultural and social topics in daily life and beyond. By the end of the semester students are able to read and discuss simple texts and write about a variety of topics. Successful completion of the year-long sequence prepares students to enroll in third-year modern Hebrew. No P/D/F or R credit is allowed for this class.

US LESBIAN & GAY HISTORY

This course explores the social, cultural, and political history of lesbians, gay men, and other socially constituted sexual and gender minorities, primarily in the twentieth century.  Since the production and regulation of queer life has always been intimately linked to the production and policing of “normal” sexuality and gender, we will also pay attention to the shifting boundaries of normative sexuality, especially heterosexuality, as well as other developments in American history that shaped gay life, such as the Second World War, Cold War, urbanization, and the minority rights revolution.  Themes include the emergence of homosexuality and heterosexuality as categories of experience and identity; the changing relationship between homosexuality and transgenderism; the development of diverse lesbian and gay subcultures and their representation in popular culture; the sources of antigay hostility; religion and sexual science; generational change and everyday life; AIDS; and gay, antigay, feminist, and queer movements.

AMERICAN WOMEN IN THE 20TH C

WOMEN GENDER SEXUALITY IN U.S

Using an intersectional framework, this course traces changing notions of gender and sexuality in the 20th century United States.  The course examines how womanhood and feminism were shaped by class, race, ethnicity, culture, sexuality and immigration status.  We will explore how the construction of American nationalism and imperialism, as well as the development of citizenship rights, social policy, and labor organizing, were deeply influenced by the politics of gender.  Special emphasis will be placed on organizing and women's activism. , I would also like to change the title of the course (couldn't figure out how to do this on-line) to: , Women, Gender and Sexuality in the 20th Century

US - EAST ASIA RELATIONS

This lecture course examines the history of the relationship between the United States and the countries of East Asia in the 19
th
and 20th centuries. The first half of the course will examine the factors drove the United States to acquire territorial possessions in Asia, to vie for a seat at the imperial table at China’s expense, and to eventual confrontation with Japan over mastery in the Pacific from the turn of the century leading to the Second World War. The second half of the course will explore the impact of U.S. policy toward East Asia during the Cold War when Washington’s policy of containment, which included nation-building, development schemes, and waging war, came up against East Asia’s struggles for decolonization, revolution, and modernization.  Not only will this course focus on state-to-state relations, it will also address a multitude of Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese perspectives on the United States and American culture through translated text, oral history, fiction, and memoir.
Participation in weekly discussion sections, which will begin no later than the third week of classes, is mandatory.
