Polis: the Biography of the Ancient Gree

Polis: Ancient Greek City

This course explores the history of the Greek city-state, first as a long narrative story from the obscure leap to stately forms in the Aegean basin during the early seventh century BCE, to the end of municipal forms in the late Roman empire in the fourth century CE. Is there a single
polis
form that develops and endures during this century ? This is the concern of the first half of the course. The second half explores implications of the
polis
as a social and political organism: as ideas, ideology and institutions; as self-interest; and as a site and a tool of domination. The possible consequences for the politics of living together will be examined throughout the course, which balances between history and political philosophy.

FUNDAMENTALS OF GLOBAL HEALTH

Many of the greatest challenges in public health are global. This course uses a multidisciplinary approach to discuss the major underlying determinants of poor health and the relationship between health and political, social and economic development. Drawing upon the sciences, social sciences, and humanities, students will be introduced to the evolution of modern approaches to the setting of global health priorities, the functions and roles of health systems, an overview of current global health practices, and the major institutional players in global health. The first unit of the class will focus on establishing the foundations for a public health approach to understanding the challenges of global health. This will involve exploration of the factors shaping the global distribution of disease and their connection with issues of social, economic, and political development, as reflected in the Millennium Development Goals. The second unit will explore in further detail a number of major health priorities. A significant goal of the class will be to identify common sources of vulnerability and challenge across health risks, and the consequent need for a systemic approach to their being addressed. The third and final unit builds upon this analysis to demonstrate the multi-disciplinary, multi-level approach required to effectively address global health priorities, and the political and organizational cooperation required to achieve this. The class concludes with an analysis of the major challenges and threats to global coordination regarding such threats as pandemic influenza and emerging health threats related to climate change. Offered in the spring.

This undergraduate course is intended for those interested in broadening their horizons about Slavic languages and cultures, whether they have a previous exposure to some of them or not. The course will explore the processes of establishing Slavic nations and their traditions of literacy focusing on the clashes of various ideological and political programs as well as on the commonly held beliefs and attitudes around them (including common myths). The observed phenomena will be discussed using the concepts and tools of cross-cultural linguistics and psychology, which will make the students familiar with several methodological frameworks in those fields. The intended effect of this entry-level course is to generate interest in the study of Slavic languages, cultures, and societies.

WOMEN, SEX & POWER IN 17TH-CENTURY FRANC

WOMEN,SEX,PWR 17TH C FR L

When thinking of 17th Century France, we tend to focus on the all-encompassing figure of Louis XIV,
Roi Soleil
. However, the 17th Century was also the century of women: women writers, women philanthropists, and women intellectuals who led some of the most influential literary
salons
of their time. The presence and agency of women during that period had a major influence on the representation of women in literature. Between heroic idealizations and caricatural portrayals, this course will attempt to discern between these two extremes to form an image of the real contribution of women to the literature of this period.

EXISTENTIALISM

Prerequisites: Successful completion of Intermediate II French or the equivalent. In-depth survey of the writers who exemplified French existentialism: Albert Camus, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Simone de Beauvoir. The texts have been chosen for the richness with which they address fundamental philosophical questions about the meaning of life, especially questions of death and suffering, freedom and responsibility, legitimate and illegitimate violence. The first objective of this class is to show how existentialist thought combines literature and philosophy; the second objective is to gain a broad, but also deep familiarity with 20th-century French literature and thought.
