YOUTH-INTERCONNECTED WRLD

What does it mean to be 20 years old in our rapidly changing, interconnected world? There are more youth (aged 15-25) in the world today than at any other time in history, with the majority living in the developing world. They approach adulthood as the world confronts seismic shifts in the geopolitical order, in the nature and future of work, and in the ways we connect with each other, express identity, engage politically, and create communities of meaning. What unique challenges and opportunities confront young people after decades of neoliberal globalization? What issues are most pressing in developing nations experiencing a “youth bulge” and how do they compare to developed nations with rapidly aging populations? How do young people envision their futures and the future of the world they are inheriting? This course will examine recent scholarship while engaging the young people in the class to define the agenda and questions of the course, and to conduct their own research. This course is part of the Global Core curriculum. “Global 20” complements a new research project of the Committee on Global Thought, “Youth in a Changing World,” which investigates from the perspective of diverse participants and of young people themselves, the most pressing issues confronting young people in the changing world today. The course will serve as an undergraduate “lab” for the project, and among other involvements, students in the course will help conceive, plan, and take part in a NYC-wide “Youth Think-In” sponsored by the CGT during the Spring 2018 semester. Within the course, students will become “regional experts” and examine the primary themes of the class through the prism of specific areas or nations of their choosing. A final class project includes a “design session” that will consider how universities might better train and empower youth to confront the challenges and embrace the opportunities of our interconnected world of the 21stcentury.

SIMULATION MODELING AND ANALYSIS

It is strongly advised that Stochastic modeling (IEOR E3106 or IEOR E4106) be taken before this course. This is an introductory course to simulation, a statistical sampling technique that uses the power of computers to study complex stochastic systems when analytical or numerical techniques do not suffice. The course focuses on discrete-event simulation, a general technique used to analyze a model over time and determine the relevant quantities of interest. Topics covered in the course include the generation of random numbers, sampling from given distributions, simulation of discrete-event systems, output analysis, variance reduction techniques, goodness of fit tests, and the selection of input distributions. The first half of the course is oriented toward the design and implementation of algorithms, while the second half is more theoretical in nature and relies heavily on material covered in prior probability courses. The teaching methodology consists of lectures, recitations, weekly homework, and both in-class and take-home exams. Homework almost always includes a programming component for which students are encouraged to work in teams.

PRIVACY IN A NETWORKED WORLD

The ubiquity of computers and networks in business, government, recreation, and almost all aspects of daily life has led to a proliferation of online sensitive data: data that, if used improperly, can harm the data subjects. As a result, concern about the use, ownership, control, privacy, and accuracy of these data has become a top priority. This seminar course focuses on both the technical challenges of handling sensitive data, the privacy implications of various technologies, and the policy and legal issues facing data subjects, data owners, and data users.

Islamic Central Asia

Explores the cultural landscapes of Islamic Central Asia up to the 18th c. Russian conquests, introducing the wide and changing array of meanings that both Islam and Central Asia could take on in this context. Against the association of Central Asia with a periphery, this course restores the centrality of Central Asia to the spheres of exchange that held together a broader Islamic imaginary, including Persian literatures, Sufism, political thought, and the visual arts. Focuses on the empires of the Ghaznavids (977-1186), Mongols (1206-1370), Timurids (1370-1507), and early Mughals. Readings are English translations of primary sources, and modern scholarship to contextualize and theorize these sources. Central questions include: how these texts reflect and shape community, how they mark and make sense of difference, the ways in which they understand and relate to their past(s), and the values that they hold to be most central.

Sensing the Amazon: Song, Sound & Image

The Amazon is a big, diverse, and complex region, hard to contain under a sole narrative. This course takes the Amazon as a case study for engaging in sound, song and audiovisual productions as modes of fabricating and perceiving difference, creating with difference, as well imagining and transforming territories. Through texts, audiovisual material, and songs focused mainly on the Brazilian Amazon, as well as material produced by Amazonian peoples of rural
and urban territories in Brazil, we will examine clashing and coexisting sensorial perceptions and histories of the region. We will critically engage with the ways the region is perceived as forest, resource, and nature at harm. Students will be invited to examine the Amazon as a home to many different social groups whose modes of living question clear cut separations between the city and the forest, and as a cosmopolitan region with diverse cultural articulations of the sacred and the profane. We will analyze sonic and audiovisual products from and about the Amazon in terms of the ethics of their making and the imaginaries they propose and create. This course is open to students from all departments who are interested in the interdisciplinary study of sound, anthropology, media, and film, as well as anyone interested in expanding their critical sociocultural approach to listening.

CORP BEHAVIOR & PUBLIC HEALTH

In the decades since the publication of Silent Spring and the rise of the environmental movement, public awareness of the impact of industrial products on human health has grown enormously. There is growing concern over BPA, lead, PCBs, asbestos, and synthetic materials that make up the world around us. This course will focus on environmental history, industrial and labor history as well as on how twentieth century consumer culture shapes popular and professional understanding of disease. Throughout the term the class will trace the historical transformation of the origins of disease through primary sources such as documents gathered in lawsuits, and medical and public health literature. Students will be asked to evaluate historical debates about the causes of modern epidemics of cancer, heart disease, lead poisoning, asbestos-related illnesses and other chronic conditions. They will also consider where responsibility for these new concerns lies, particularly as they have emerged in law suits. Together, we will explore the rise of modern environmental movement in the last 75 years.

NEIGHBORHOOD & COMMUNITY DVLP

New York City is made up of more than 400 neighborhoods. The concept of neighborhoods in cities has had many meanings and understandings over time. Equally complex is the concept of community used to describe the people attached to or defined by neighborhood. While neighborhood can be interpreted as a spatial, social, political, racial, ethnic, or even, economic unit; community often refers to the group of stakeholders (i.e. residents, workers, investors) whose interests directly align with the conditions of their environment. Community development is “a process where these community members come together to take collective action and generate solutions to common problems” that result from the changing contexts in their neighborhoods. Using a variety of theories and approaches, residents organize themselves or work with community development practitioners on the ground to obtain safe, affordable housing, improve the public realm, build wealth, get heard politically, develop human capital, and connect to metropolitan labor and housing markets. To address the ever-changing contexts of neighborhoods, community development organizations are taking on new roles and adapting (in various cases) to larger forces within the city, region and nation such as disinvestment, reinvestment, increased cultural diversity, an uncertain macroeconomic environment, and changes in federal policy. For more than a century, city-dwellers—and especially New Yorkers—have been tackling these challenges. This course will examine both historic and contemporary community building and development efforts, paying special attention to approaches which were shaped by New York City. This urban center, often described as a “city of neighborhoods,” has long been a seedbed for community-based problem-solving inventions. The course will focus on the theories (why?), tools (how?), and actors (who?) within the field of community development practice and is organized around important sectors (housing, econom

COLLOQUIUM ON ECONOMIC INEQUALITY IN THE

COLL. ON INEQUALITY AND P

In recent decades, economic inequality in the United States has soared to levels not seen for nearly a century: Wages for workers have stagnated, while the proportion of wealth concentrated among the most well-off Americans has steadily increased. These trends may have dire consequences for the state of representative democracy in the United States, as they endow a relatively small number of citizens with a disproportionate amount of resources to deploy politically. The result is a political system that often responds to the preferences of the wealthiest Americans, while frequently ignoring the views of most ordinary citizens. This course, in diverse ways, explores the political causes and consequences of rising inequality, especially with regards to who has political power. We will begin by examining the contours of inequality in the U.S. while also exploring the various ways that power manifests itself in politics. We’ll then explore the relationship between wealth and public policy outcomes in the United States, along with the ways that the very wealthiest Americans – both individually and collectively – work to advance their policy views. Beyond just examining national-level politics, we will also discuss inequality and power on the state- and local-levels. We’ll then explore how political and economic inequality are interrelated with race and social class, and how all of this connects to the rise of Donald Trump. Finally, we will assess potential remedies to political and economic inequality.

CLINICAL FIELD PRACTICUM

Prerequisites: Three psychology courses and permission of the instructor required during program planning the fall semester before the course is offered. Enrollment limited to 12 students; seniors are given priority. This course introduces students to clinical and counseling work, and to psychodynamic ways of understanding and supporting people in psychological distress. Students secure a clinical placement for the course, and apply readings on psychodynamic notions of parenting, psychopathology, and therapeutic process to their clinical experiences. The course helps students clarify their professional goals, and provides the clinical experience that strengthens applications to social work programs, and that is required for applications to clinical and counseling doctoral programs.

LIVES OF PROPERTY IN THE COLONIAL ATLANT

In this course, we’ll ask how colonial models of property and personhood shaped both the eighteenth-century Atlantic world and the world we continue to inhabit today. Drawing on critical work in Indigenous Studies, Black Studies, and Gender and Sexuality Studies, we’ll examine the ways in which political and economic ideas associated with the Enlightenment helped to produce racialized and gendered subject positions that were coded as pathological and subordinate. Through readings of eighteenth-century fiction and poetry, political and philosophical treatises, and autobiographical narratives, we will explore how the notion of a “possessive individual” affected the lives of laborers, women, indigenous peoples, and enslaved Africans. In addition to our eighteenth-century texts, we’ll turn to a number of more recent “texts” (including podcasts and contemporary new media) as a way of grappling with the ongoing reality of settler colonial histories.
Throughout the class, we will look to find ways of moving beyond representations of violence and conquest. We will look for examples of personhood that emphasize porosity and interconnection, rather than domination and separateness—for examples of freedom that involve communal practices of use and dwelling, rather than individual ownership.

Video I

Video I is an introductory class on the production and editing of digital video. Designed as an intensive hands-on production/post-production workshop, the apprehension of technical and aesthetic skills in shooting, sound and editing will be emphasized. Assignments are developed to allow students to deepen their familiarity with the language of the moving image medium. Over the course of the term, the class will explore fiction, documentary and experimental approaches, as well as films that mix and mess with these genres. Class time will be divided between technical workshops, viewing and discussing films and videos by independent producers/artists and discussing and critiquing student projects. There will also be visits from established artists and filmmakers. Readings will be assigned on technical, aesthetic and theoretical issues, although the majority of the class will focus on making and watching. This is a Visual Arts class, focused on using the moving image as an artistic means of expression, articulation, and exploration. It emphasizes experimentation over imitation.  Video I is currently an on-line class and, because of this, we will be exploring and pushing the constraints of what is possible under these very special circumstances. Students will work with a variety of recording devices that are ‘at hand,’ as well as found and archival footage. This is in keeping with many artists approach to the moving image. Artists have had to learn to be nimble and flexible, finding ways to continue to speak under heavy financial, material, technological and political constraints.  This ‘making do’ has shaped much of the artistic work done with this medium. Historically, this having to ‘make do’ has led again and again to invention and reinvention. It has led to a rethinking of the medium itself. Artistic works are currently made with high-end cameras, ancient cell phones and everything in between. These works, regardless of capture technology, are shown in museums, cinemas, and galleries and on YouTube, Vimeo and TikTok. Our temporarily changed current landscape has only accelerated these changes in how the moving image is imagined, made and viewed. This class is part of this moment of re-imagining and experimentation. Only one section offered per semester. If the class is full, please visit

Pandemic Tales: Curated Conversations wi

PANDEMIC TALES MIGRANT WO

Pandemic Tales: Curated Conversations with Migrant Workers will work collaboratively with a New York City-based organization, Damayan. The course will chronicle the pandemic’s  disproportionate impact on economically vulnerable Black and Brown communities. We will read about the history of Filipino migrant workers and be trained in the interview process. Our intention is to  uplift the stories of undocumented migrant workers’ battles around housing and food insecurity and the collective efforts to provide support and care. Students will work with Damayan leaders in preparation for speaking to members who will share their stories of pain, hardship and resilience during the pandemic. From these stories we will work with Damayan to curate conversations about the impact of the pandemic on Filipino migrants and produce a webpage or podcast for Damayan’s use.  This is a Barnard Engages course, supported by the Mellon Foundation, with the intention of fostering long-term relationships between Barnard college faculty and students and New York City-based community organizations addressing issues of poverty, immigration or labor rights. We will partner with Damayan Migrant Workers Association, an organization I have worked with for many years. A worker-run and directed organization, Damayan has been at the forefront of the effort to rescue and advocate on behalf of Filipino migrant workers. They were also involved in providing support for needy families when the pandemic hit.  Our class project will be designed in collaboration with Damayan to assist them in their work. They have asked us to uplift the voices of the people severely impacted by the pandemic by curating conversations.  There will be a joint public launch of our final product, which could be a webpage or a podcast.  Because this is a community-directed project, students should be prepared for changes to the syllabus and end product. Much of the work for this course will be collaborative. Students will be working in teams and I will be working alongside students to produce the final product.  In addition to the scheduled class times, there will be other scheduled meetings and/or workshops.

ADVANCED WORKSHOP TRANSLA

A deep immersion in the theory and practice of translation with a focus on translating into English. The first half of the course is devoted to discussing readings in the history of translation theory while translating brief practical exercises; in the second half, translation projects are submitted to the class for critical discussion. The foreign texts for these projects, chosen in consultation with the instructor, will be humanistic, not only literature as conventionally defined (prose fiction and poetry, memoir and travel writing), but also the gamut of text types in the human sciences, including philosophy, history, and ethnography. The aim is not just to translate, but to think deeply about translating, to develop writing practices by drawing on the resources of theory, past and present, and by examining translations written by professionals. Enrollment in each workshop is limited to 12 students. CPLT BC3110 is a recommended prerequisite, plus, normally, two advanced courses beyond the language requirement in the language from which you intend to translate. Preference will be given to seniors and to comparative literature majors.

Pandemics and Politics

PANDEMICS AND POLITICS

The COVID-19 crisis offers a rare and unique opportunity to social science students to study how governments respond and how people behave during the pandemic.In this class, we focus on the government responses to the COVID pandemic (along with some other major pandemics in history) and investigate the questions of
why
governments around the globe did what they did in response to the pandemic, and how some social, political, and economic factors affected the kind of responses and the effectiveness of such responses. In analyzing different factors, we will survey and learn from existing relevant theoretical frameworks in social sciences particularly political science. we will cover a wide range of topics that are also major topics in political science such as federalism, authoritarianism, leadership, and trust in government.  By examining this important contemporary global crisis from political science perspectives, students can learn about broader theories in social sciences in general and political science in particular.  Another goal of this course is for students to learn how to make social science inquiry and analysis with comparative methods. Through the readings, class discussions, research, and writing of a research paper, students will be exposed to various ways to conduct research and making analysis which will be realized in a research paper.

Jews in the City in the Islamic Middle E

Jews in the City in Islam

As the vast majority of Jews in the Islamic Middle East and North Africa lived in various urban centers, this seminar takes up the city as a framework with which to study Jewish life and history in that region. Through intensive class discussions and engagement with primary sources of all kinds, we will explore how Jewish communities and their concerns shaped the cities they lived in, and how those cities, in turn, shaped those Jewish communities. We will also consider broader questions about minority-majority relations, social class, gender, modernization, natural disasters, memory, and more. Although we will touch on the High Middle Ages and Early Modern Times, this course will focus on the period post-1800, to this day. We will also focus on social history, but will discuss how basic approaches in anthropology, cultural studies, and especially urban studies, can help us understand the (Jewish) urban experience better. Finally, since Islamic civilization was an umbrella civilization, under which diverse communities lived and interacted, we will consider the comparative study of Jewish life: how does comparative analysis help us think about social groups, such as Jews, or social formations, such as cities? Does a comparative view of Jewish urban life help us understand this phenomenon better?

MODERNISM: STRUGGLE AND UTOPIA

“This is the war that will end war!” So wrote H. G. Wells, in August 1914, in the first week of World War One. He was wrong, but his sentiment and dream have shadowed these last hundred years: Can mass war be the generator of infinite peace? Can a pandemic yield improved health? Can the shock of racial injustice and violence usher in a future of equality and justice? Does the revolutionary moment or act have the power to transform the world for the better? These questions belong to us in 2020/21 as they did to modernist literary writers from a century ago, and in this course we will read a variety of works from the first 40 years of the 20th century that explored the terrain from struggle to possibility. Our organizing themes as we read these works are: Youth, War, Illness, Gender, and Race, though each of these is interconnected with the others. Our course focuses on English-language works, from England, Ireland, India and the Caribbean; we will study how their rich literary experiments were fueled by the prospects of catastrophic loss and struggle, on the one hand, and euphoric hope, even utopia, on the other.
