Civic Innovation & Building a People-Cen

Civic Innov/People-Center Govt

Governments around the world are tasked with delivering services to millions of citizens using a range of technologies and initiatives. They constantly assess their impact and find new ways to better serve the public and to provide service more efficiently and effectively. This course provides a look at innovative efforts underway, and an analytical framework for developing new approaches to serving people. Invention is part of innovation, of course. But innovation has another meaning. It is also a process-a process of improving, adapting, or developing a product, system, or service in order to deliver better results and create value for people. It is this second meaning of innovation that applies most acutely to government. While entrepreneurs may tinker with new products and ideas, government has a unique ability to take new ideas, adapt them to the needs of the public, and apply them at scale. This course explores what innovation actually means in government, what it looks like, and how it happens. It is focused on understanding how the same methodology that firms use to design and build revolutionary products can be (and is being) applied in government to design more effective policies, programs, and services. The goal of this course is to prepare students for working creatively in a policy environment, and finding new solutions to complex human problems, in a manner that prioritizes people over politics and bureaucracy. To this end, the course takes a blended and hands-on approach to learning, combining reading and lectures with design studios, and guest speakers who will provide a firsthand narrative of their experience with innovation in government. Guest speakers will include people who have been able to develop and implement new systems within government such as rescuing healthcare.gov and modernizing our immigration system.

Humanitarian Crisis Simulation

The simulation will be designed in order to provide exposure to a range of topics including but not limited to: Refugee and cross-border migration issues; Practical implications of international humanitarian law; Ramifications of international human rights law in crises; The interagency nature of a large-scale humanitarian response, including UN, National Governments, international NGOs and national NGOs and how to coordinate across actors; Humanitarian field negotiations; Humanitarian operations issues (logistics, staff security, human resources management, etc.); Emergency response design. The scenario upon which the simulation is based will be situated in Paradoxia, reflecting elements of a relatively recent real-world situation whereby a natural disaster evolves into a large-scale civil conflict. This will give students the opportunity not only to understand the complexities of planning and implementing a humanitarian response in a challenging environment. The learning objectives for the participants, therefore, are primarily: further their understanding of the roles of individual humanitarian actors and their inter-relationships; enhance their recognition of the difficulties associated with working in an inter-cultural environment; augment their understanding of the challenges involved in achieving effective coordination and cooperation among a range of humanitarian actors; build the capacity to make decisions based on relevant and time-sensitive information; strengthen their ability to develop strategies and operational plans that will improve immediate response without impeding future recovery.

This course will survey the history of Latin manuscript books and Latin scripts from late Antiquity to the early years of printing (4th -15th century). Students will study the questions that have driven the field of paleography since its inception, and the canonical history of the main scripts used in Western Europe through the end of the Middle Ages. We will consider the manuscript book as a physical artifact, in a codicological approach; and we will look at the production of books in their social and political settings. Students will develop practical skills in reading and transcription, and will begin to recognize the features that allow localization and dating of manuscripts.

Contemporary Archaeological Theory

CONTEMP ARCH THEORY

Archaeology is a sprawling, messy discipline and the role that theory does, should, and might play in the process of archaeological data collection, analysis, and interpretation has been highly contested. Archaeologists argue over whether there is such a thing as a stand-alone ‘archaeological theory’ and what kinds of theory from other disciplines should (or should not!) be imported. This course explores a range of recent theoretical conversations, orientations, and interventions within archaeology, with an eye to understanding what is currently at stake – and what is contested – in how archaeologists think about making archaeological knowledge in the contemporary moment. In doing so, this course encourages students to think about theory in archaeology as an important form of “practical knowledge” or “know how” for archaeologists (cf. Lucas 2018).

LAW, HISTORY & ANTHROPOLOGY

While scholars of an earlier generation integrated legal, historical and social analyses as a matter of course, we must take interdisciplinary steps. Legal phenomena may be either an end or a means in research, the object of study or the lens for understanding  other aspects of social life. This seminar concerns the study of legal institutions, the uses of case materials, and the reliance upon legal texts as sources in historical and anthropological inquiry. Studies of nonwestern, premodern and colonial contexts will shed comparative light on contemporary western notions of law, truth and justice. Seminar.

Harlem Community Engagement Practicum

Urban universities in the United States are often located in primarily African-American and Latinx neighborhoods with large low-income populations. These neighborhoods have their own community organizations, religious and cultural institutions, business districts and civic organizations. What has often been called the “town-gown” divide has prevented students from learning more about the people who live in their neighborhood. Often the political, business and policy interests of these communities diverge from the interests of the University. This course will explore the Harlem community by immersing students in conversation with community members that represent diverse organizations and interests. Students will be asked to meet in different locations in East, West, and Central Harlem to be involved in a structured conversation led by the instructor (assuming COVID restrictions have lifted). Students will meet with members of the community board; residents of Harlem public housing; small business owners; those involved in the politics of Harlem, clergy and their congregants; Harlem hospital employees and leaders of cultural institutions. The purpose of these meetings will be to give our students the opportunity to learn about the issues of concern to Harlem community members, what Harlem mean to the different community members and how they organize to influence policy. Students will also be able to ask questions directly to community members.

Accounting for International and Public

The purpose of this course is to enable you to become an informed user of financial information. To be properly informed you need to understand financial statements, the note disclosures and the language of accounting and financial reporting. We will focus on the three major financial statements – the balance sheet, the income statement and the statement of cash flows - that companies prepare for use by management and external parties. We will examine the underlying concepts that go into the preparation of these financial statements as well as specific accounting rules that apply when preparing financial statements. As we gain an understanding of the financial information, we will look at approaches to analyze the financial strength and operations of an entity. We will use actual financial statements to understand how financial information is presented.

Internet Governance, Human Rights, & Inc

Whoever controls the future of the internet, controls the future of the world. We'll look at the technical roots of the internet, and the people and entities -- telecom companies and their regulators, technologists and idealists, security forces and hackers -- shaping it today. Each group faces challenges. Policymakers have reached consensus that human rights apply online, but need to update and replace laws, regulations, and norms for the digital age. Companies have responsibilities to law and policy, but vary widely in their respect for users and governments. The UN Sustainable Development Goals identify internet access as essential to development, but policy environments fail to extend connectivity to vulnerable or marginalized communities. And the cat-and-mouse game between cyber offense and defense continues, leaving many less-resourced groups -- and the right to privacy -- lagging behind. Will national sovereignty reassert itself, breaking the internet, or will the vision of a borderless cyberspace prevail? Will the European approach to data protection set global standards? Does network neutrality function amidst the internet of everything? To find the answers, we nimbly role-play, enjoy small group activities, welcome guest experts, and hone tech policy skills under time pressure. Expect to participate frequently, and learn to navigate the most pressing issues facing companies, governments, and technologists today.

THEORIES & DEBATES-AMER POL II

This is the second of two semester-long courses that provide graduate students with an overview of the scholarly study of American politics. G6210 and G6211 constitute the American politics field survey. The field survey is designed for political science doctoral students who intend to specialize in American politics, as well as for those students whose primary interests are comparative politics, international relations, or political theory, but who desire an intensive introduction to the American style of political science. In this course we will cover a range of topics related to American politics that, for the most part, are not covered in G6210. Our focus will be on public opinion and political behavior. The reading assignments are a mix of foundational contributions (i.e. the canons of American politics literature) and recent research. The first part of each seminar session will aim to clarify and probe enduring puzzles, theories, and debates highlighted in the foundational texts. The latter portion of the seminar session will focus on how recent studies contribute to ongoing debates and define the research agenda going forward.

Operations Management

This course provides a foundation for understanding the operations of an organization. The objective is to provide the basic skills necessary to critically analyze an organizations operating performance and practices. Such knowledge is important for careers in a variety of areas, including general management and consulting. Unlike other courses which tend to treat operations as a black box, this course will be concerned with opening up the inner workings of an organizations operations to see how they work or dont work, learning the fundamental laws of behavior of producing a product or services, and lastly to learn how to design operations that perform at maximum levels. Its focus will be on the technical and mathematical analysis of operations rather than a human factors approach, although there are obvious connections between the two that will be explored. Concern is given to understanding which elements of an organizations operations enable it to produce quality outputs at a reasonable cost. The course will accomplish this by grouping the material under two major headings. The first half of the course will be devoted to understanding the physics of how material, paper work, and information flow through an organization to produce a product or service and how its design encourages or impedes good performance. The second half will focus on excellence in operations, learning techniques and approaches that increase overall performance in production, quality, variety, or speed of service.

Leadership & Innovative Policy Making

In this course the students will (a) master key themes in leadership development and policy making, (b) increase their own leadership and policy making capacities through reflection and discussion and (c) evaluate the leadership record of an extraordinary policy leader. The goal of the three-pronged approach is to prepare students for understanding and exercising leadership-executive ability in government, non-governmental organizations, and business. Leadership is the ability to influence people towards achieving a goal. An important part of the SIPA mission is to prepare students for leadership and innovative policy making. In this course we will examine leadership and policy making out of the box as well as inside the box by having students tackle several key themes and some specific questions. The themes include issues such as, are leaders born or made? What kind of leaders design and implement good versus bad policies? Can nudging and innovative policy making substitute for forceful policy intervention? To what extent are economic and political outcomes products of leadership as opposed to external environment?

History for Future Policymakers

Leaders often invoke the lessons of history, but rarely talk about anything but a few familiar episodes. Even if we can all agree that we should avoid another attack on Pearl Harbor or war in Vietnam, does this actually help us make decisions about the future? In this course, students will explore both the problems and the opportunities with using historical analysis to grapple with present and future challenges. They will develop a deeper understanding of the most often cited historical episodes, but also learn how to avoid using analogies in the place of more original thinking. That means thinking like a historian, and the course will introduce key concepts that can be used to analyze a range of complex challenges, including continuity and change, contingency and inevitability, human agency and structural constraints. But they will also learn how NOT to think like a historian, such as using history as a weapon, and extrapolating into the future.

Corporate Sustainable Development: Drive

Corporate sustainability is being embraced by a growing number of business leaders to address the far-reaching and interrelated COVID-19, environmental and social challenges in the face of rapidly changing operating conditions and market demands.  In this course, we will explore from an environmental management perspective the underpinnings and elements of corporate sustainability.  We will examine how this field has evolved over the past 20 years and its potential to stand as a centrally important tool to achieve financial goals through the provision of goods and services that meet individual, societal and environmental needs now and well into the future.  We will embrace a systems approach, grounded in an understanding of a corporation's interconnections and interdependencies with the natural world and its broad array of internal and external stakeholders, to reveal business models that are inherently resilient and regenerative.  We will also address the role of government and the significant challenges faced by public officials in advancing this critically important agenda.

EU Policymaking & New Global Challenges

EU Policymaking-Global Challen

This course explores the process of EU policy-making - how and why certain public policies are pursued by the institutions of the European Union - and analyses what the Union is doing to address a number of major policy challenges in today's interdependent world. After providing a general introduction to the overall policy process in the EU - looking at how policies are born, adopted, enacted, implemented and reviewed - this term's course will examine the specific policy agenda of the current European Commission (2019-24), led by Ursula von der Leyen, and do a 'deep dive' into EU action in three areas: the fight against climate change, the development of a 'digital Europe', and the EU response to the on-going coronavirus crisis. It will identify the key characteristics of these policies, assess how far they are succeeding or failing, and ask what they show about the evolving EU political system. The course will round off with an assessment of the growing emphasis on strategic foresight in the EU policy-making and identify new policies that are likely to be developed in coming years. Taught from a practitioner perspective by Anthony Teasdale, Director General of the European Parliament's research service, the course aims to provide a firm grounding in modern EU policy and should appeal to those interested both in EU politics and in the individual policy issues under discussion.
