An Anthropology of the Name
This course examines how names (personal names, ancestral names, toponyms, political names, insults, etc.), prescribe modes of being, elicit interdictions, and injure their bearers in a psychic and bodily manner. The course considers how the politics and practices of naming enable the production and contestation of different social worlds, and what happens when naming fails. The aim of this course is twofold: it provides students with the conceptual knowledge and familiarity necessary to distinguish between different affects/effects of naming, and it works as an advanced introduction to contemporary debates in anthropology, focusing on performative, psychoanalytic, post-structuralist, and pragmatic theorizations on what proper names are and do. In doing so, the course addresses the representational, performative, and indexical functions of naming in order to understand the political lives of proper names.

Decision Models & Management
This course provides an introduction to computer-based models for decision-making. The emphasis is on models that are widely used in diverse industries and functional areas, including finance, accounting, operations, and marketing. Applications will include advertising planning, revenue management, asset-liability management, environmental policy modeling, portfolio optimization, and corporate risk management, among others. The aim of the course is to help students become intelligent consumers of these methods. To this end, the course will cover the basic elements of modeling -- how to formulate a model and how to use and interpret the information a model produces. The course will attempt to instill a critical viewpoint towards decision models, recognizing that they are powerful but limited tools. The applicability and usage of computer-based models have increased dramatically in recent years, due to the extraordinary improvements in computer, information and communication technologies, including not just hardware but also model-solution techniques and user interfaces. Thirty years ago working with a model meant using an expensive mainframe computer, learning a complex programming language, and struggling to compile data by hand; the entire process was clearly marked "experts only." The rise of personal computers, friendly interfaces (such as spreadsheets), and large databases has made modeling far more accessible to managers. Information has come to be recognized as a critical resource, and models play a key role in deploying this resource, in organizing and structuring information so that it can be used productively.

Economic Cost Benefit Analysis & Intro t
Econ CBA & Program Evaluation
The goals of the course are three-fold: 1) gain an understanding of the economic principles needed to judge the limits and strengths of cost-benefit analysis; 2) learn the basic mechanics of cost benefit analysis and its application to policy; 3) learn the mechanics of statistical program evaluation and its use in cost-benefit analysis. Every policy has costs, and every policy generates winners and losers. A cost-benefit analysis that strives to be fair and objective will highlight the costs and benefits as well as the winners and losers of any proposed policy. The first half of the course will be used to develop skills and concepts. The second half will focus on applications. Several of the applications will be based on statistical program evaluation, and a background in basis statistics will be needed. Program evaluation and random assignment evaluation of policy experiments in particular have become popular in recent years. Placing these experiments in the context of cost-benefit analysis will demonstrate some of the weaknesses of statistical program evaluation and provide tools for interpretation of an evaluation’s finding. Further discussion of the measurement issues commonly encountered in random-assignment evaluation and quasi-experiments will develop an understanding of when random-assignment evaluation is a powerful tool of policy analysis and when it fails.

MASTERS PROJECT I
The master’s project will be your most sustained effort during your time at the journalism school, encompassing both fall and spring semesters. It’s not a thesis in the traditional academic sense; think of it instead as an in-depth exploration of a topic as a journalist would pursue it. Master’s projects can take a variety of forms, some of them incorporating elements from more than one medium: print, photo, audio, video, data. Regardless of format, you’ll work on your project under the guidance of an experienced advisor, who will help you to hone your topic, figure out your reporting strategy and serve as your editor for the duration of the project.

Data Master's Project I
The data master’s project is an ambitious, serious, sustained, data-driven work of journalism. You will design, undertake and complete the project independently or in pairs, working with individual advisors. To meet these requirements, your project needs to include a data component that shows mastery of obtaining, analyzing and presenting data to a broad audience. The final product should include text, visualization or any multimedia elements mounted in a standalone website, and must include a separated detailed description of the methodology followed during the research process (nerd box) as well as the code documentation.

Graduate Symposium in Medical Humanities
Graduate Symposium Medica
The field of medicine has been tasked with responding to a host of new ethical dilemmas, ranging from questions arising from technological advances in genomic, reproductive, and cancer care to exacerbated disparities in health justice and problems of provider burnout. Meanwhile, as a set of disciplines, the humanities face the challenge of how to write about embodied experiences (illness, pain, and healing) that resist easy verbal categorization. The interdisciplinary field of
medical humanities
offers both a set of methodological approaches to address such challenges and a broad umbrella under which to study the mutual influences of medico-scientific ideas and cultural/aesthetic practices. Medicine—from intimate clinical care of the individual patient to public health policymaking—has much to contribute to a humanistic understanding of how knowledge is produced and communicated, while the approaches that emerge from a historiographical or interpretive framework can enrich those coming from the physician’s black bag. Co-sponsored by the Department of English and Comparative Literature (Morningside) and the Department of Medical Humanities and Ethics (CUIMC), this innovative pilot course will offer humanists and health professionals a rare opportunity to be trained in the habits of mind of one another’s discipline, with the aim of preparing all students to teach in the medical humanities. Together, we will examine how literature, history, and philosophy make visible the experience of bodies in different stages of health and disease. We will consider how the medical humanities build on and revise earlier notions of the “medical arts” and how they attend to the historical and modern interplay between physicians, writers, and artists. Through guest lectures drawn from both humanities and medical disciplines, we will explore field-specific approaches. And through clinical witnessing at CUIMC, we will encounter the realities of caregiving. By the end of the course, students will be able to communicate to learners in the medical humanities the habits of mind of clinicians and humanities scholars; to mutually appraise positions from humanities and clinical practice; and to conjecture areas in which humanities and clinical practice are complementary. The pilot course is open to graduate students in GSAS and to health professions students and practitioners at CUIMC (MD, PhD, MPH).
