Governing the 21st Century City

Governing-21st Century City

This course will examine the linkages between urban governance structures and an economically successful democratic city. We will consider the particular policy challenges that confront both developed and developing cities in the 21st century. It will be important to understand the institutional political causes of urban economic decline, the unique fiscal and legal constraints on city governments as well as the opportunities that only cities offer for democratic participation and sustainable economic growth. The course will draw on case material from primarily American cities and from other developing and developed cities around the globe. It is important to keep in mind that creative policy solutions to the problems of urban economic sustainability may be found in small towns, in rural areas, in private businesses or in other global cities. The utility of importing ideas and programs rests on a practical understanding of politics in that city or community and an effective implementation strategy. Our objective in this course is not simply to understand the challenges to governing the 21st century city but also the policies that promote effective urban governance and economic sustainability.

COMPOSING FOR DANCE

The course presents tools, techniques, methodologies, and concepts for composing original music for dance (both acoustic and electronic). Composers will develop a work for dance, culminating in a showing at the end of the semester (most likely digital for 2021). Weekly meetings will be used to discuss the unique challenges (both practical and aesthetic) that this type of interdisciplinary collaboration raises, and to troubleshoot potential solutions. Students will examine case studies of collaborative composer/choreographer pairs (especially from the last 75 years), as potential models for working via the study of artist statements, interviews, articles, videos, and classroom discussions with invited guests. No prior experience writing for dance is necessary. Basic familiarity with a digital audio workspace (such as Logic Pro) is preferable. Non-composer music graduate students may also register (pending permission from the instructor), with a written research project in lieu of creative collaboration as their final assignment.

State Formation, Deformation, and Citize

State Form, Deform & Citizensh

Much is made in the contemporary policy world of the challenges of “failed states” and of what is often called “nation-building.” But what are these things we call states? How are they related to nations, to other states, to “nonstate actors,” to the “state system,” to sovereignty? And what do policy-makers need to know as they contemplate problems posed by both strong and weak states? What we know as states today are relatively modern inventions—conventionally dated to the European Peace of Westphalia in 1648—and there are many other ways human communities have governed themselves, kept the peace, fostered arts and letters and otherwise provided some measure of culture and prosperity. Yet today, states cover the world’s territory—the “international state system” even determines the rules for exploitation of the high seas and outer space—and the state seems everywhere triumphant. Except where it isn’t. Challenged by globalization of trade and information flows, labor mobility, the spread of germs, arms, ideas around the world, the state is also under siege. This course examines the character, origins, dissemination and prospects of this building block of modern international affairs. It draws many of its empirical referents from Europe, the Middle East and Africa, but students are welcome to bring knowledge and inquiry about other parts of the world to the course. This course is designed to provide an informed and reflective context for the kinds of policy dilemmas that professionals in both international security and international development confront daily.

Food Security, Plant Biology, Climate Ch

Food Secur Plant Bio Clim

As human populations continue to expand, concurrent increases in energy and food will be required. Consequently, fossil fuel burning and deforestation will continue to be human-derived sources of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). The current annual rate of CO2 increase (~0.5%) is expected to continue with global atmospheric concentrations exceeding 600 parts per million (ppm) by the end of the current century. The increase in carbon dioxide, in turn, has ramifications for both climate change but also for plant biology. In this course, our focus will be on how CO2 and climate change alter plant biology and the subsequent consequences for human health. Overall, the course will have three main components. We begin with an overview of interactions between the plant kingdom and human health, from food supply and nutrition to toxicology, contact dermatitis, aero-biology, inter alia. In the second section, we segue to an overview of rising CO2 and climate change, and how those impacts in turn, will influence all of the interactions related to plant biology and health with a merited focus on food security. Finally, for the remainder of the course, our emphasis will be on evaluating preventative strategies related to mitigation and adaptation to climate change impacts specific to potential transformations of plant biology’s traditional role in human society. The course is appropriate for students who are interested in global climate change and who wish to expand their general knowledge as to likely outcomes related to plant biology, from food security to nutrition, from pollen allergens to ethnopharmacology.

PT PROCEDURES

This clinical science course emphasizes foundational patient care skills with an emphasis on physical therapy practice in the acute care and inpatient rehabilitation settings.  This course focuses on developing basic knowledge and skills required to deliver physical therapy services in the earliest stages of recovery, from critical care to inpatient rehabilitation. Students will learn to combine data from multiple sources (including patient history, laboratory results, and patient examination) to produce a diagnosis and prognosis and develop an individualized plan of care. Students learn basic patient handling skills they will utilize throughout the remainder of the DPT curriculum, and they practice and demonstrate proper selection and use of common assistive devices. There is a concurrent focus on physical therapy documentation and the use of functional goal writing to support clinical decisions and justify skilled care. Clinical decision-making is developed through role-playing, case study, and review of scientific literature. Emphasis will be placed on the physical therapist acting as part of an interdisciplinary team of providers, and the important role of patient-centered care.

Conducting Empirical Research in Economi

The main outcome of the course will be a complete, novel empirical research paper. During the first half of the course, you will review empirical methods, learn about the structure of a high-quality research paper, and process the data for your project. The focus will be on learning how empirical methods—including not only regression-based causal inference but also data processing and measurement—are used in practice. We will draw on examples of excellent applied economics research papers to highlight best practices. By the middle of the semester, you will be expected to have completed initial analysis of your project. The remaining portion of the semester will be spent revising and improving drafts of the research paper, culminating in a presentation of results and submission of a final, publication-quality research paper.  An emphasis of the class will be on real-world practice of handling, cleaning, and processing data. To this end, students will help build and maintain a database of data sets used for their analyses. Over time, this database will become a resource that future students can draw on for their own analyses.

CONCEPTS IN THERAPEUTIC EXERCISE

The Concepts in Therapeutic Exercise course is taught over the spring semester of year one. The course introduces the student to the underlying frameworks and constructs for normal and dysfunctional movement assessments, and the development of individualized exercise programs as part of the patient management model. Exercise applications that are utilized throughout lifespan that address identified impairments; activity and participation limitations are emphasized. Students will apply clinical decision-making strategies to practice, design, modify and progress exercise programs with proper biomechanical alignment and proper muscle balance for optimal performance that may include range of motion, postural stabilization, progressive resistive exercise, flexibility, pain, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, closed and open chain exercise applications, proprioception and/or balance strategies. These underlying concepts are applied to disorders of the upper quarter, lower quarter and trunk. Video/Case studies presenting with a variety of musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, integumentary and cardiopulmonary impairments will be used to develop clinical decision-making and therapeutic exercise design for a variety of clinical disorders. Patient-practitioner interaction as well as patient instruction will be integrated throughout the series.

Financial Stability Monitoring

This course will cover financial stability monitoring and evaluation. It will begin with definitions of financial stability and conceptual frameworks for assessing threats to financial stability and their potential transmission to the real economy. A major focus will be on key signatures of financial instability and measurements that capture these signatures and signal changes in the level of systemic risk. Through case studies, class participation and two assignments, students will interpret these measures, develop questions for further investigation and assess the nature and extent of systemic risk. Students will be asked to write two policy memoranda: the first proposing and justifying a small set of financial stability indicators for monitoring and the second assessing the risk of financial instability in a few sets of such indicators. An emphasis in both is developing timely and persuasive analysis that prompts policymakers to consider the need for action to preserve financial stability.

MGMT INTEGUMENTARY IMPAIRMENTS

This 8-week course focuses on the physical therapy management for individuals with impairments to their skin and its associated structures including the hair, nails, and glands. Myers (2004) notes the number of individuals with open wounds treated by physical therapists will only increase due to an aging population, the increased prevalence of chronic diseases and the growth of comorbidities such as diabetes.  This course presents the physical therapy diagnosis and management of clients with integumentary impairments with an emphasis on open wounds and burns. Principles of skin anatomy, wound healing physiology, and factors affecting wound repair provides the foundational knowledge necessary for understanding the principles of integumentary impairments. Physical therapy examination (patient, skin, and wound) and interventions (setting up a sterile field sharp debridement, management of infection, dressing selection, compressive wrapping, and modalities available for adjunctive care) are covered. Wound etiologies including acute surgical wounds, pressure, vascular and neuropathic ulcers encountered in the clinical arena and current surgical procedures that facilitate wound healing and closure are delineated. The principles of burn injury including burn assessment, types of burn injuries, classification by level of tissue involvement, burn severity, and systematic complications of the cardiovascular, pulmonary, and immune systems are covered.  A multidisciplinary patient management model and implications to physical therapists are discussed.

Macroprudential Policies and Regulation

Macroprudential Pol & Reg

This course will focus on understanding the issues and challenges of implementing macroprudential regulations and policies in emerging markets. After revising the overall goals and types of instruments included in the macroprudential approach, the course will address topics that are particularly relevant for emerging market economies. Key questions to be addressed include: What type of macroprudential policies are most appropriate for emerging markets? Should Basel III recommendations on banks’ capital requirements be equally implemented in advanced and emerging market economies? What type of regulatory requirements on liquidity suit the needs of emerging financial markets the best? Should the participation of systemically important global banks in emerging markets be a concern for emerging market regulators? And, how can macroprudential policies complement the goals of monetary policy?

Race, Gender and Political Change

Race, Gender & Political Chang

This course will examine the impact that the current social and racial justice awakening (or reckoning), at the intersection of race and gender, is having on the US politics and policy. We will look at this along several dimensions, including politics, voting rights and voter suppression, governing and philanthropy. Ultimately, political change is the natural consequence of social and economic disruption, but will the change that is to come be of the kind that activists in movements such as the Me Too movement, Black Lives Matter, and gender equity leaders have envisioned? If the US has yet to fulfill the promise of a truly representative government, what solutions might there be to address systemic barriers to power its citizens face on the basis of race and gender? There is an opportunity to influence the broader national conversation with the very best ideas and work to implement them, but this unique moment in history and the opportunity that comes with it will not last forever.  Our goal will be to critically examine and explain these systemic barriers to political power found along racial and gender lines. We will look at the causes and consequences of racial, economic and social inequality, and how that plays out in different systems, policies and spaces. In addition to readings, students will benefit from the practical knowledge of guest lecturers drawn from the political sphere. This course will help prepare policy makers and elected officials in their efforts to create an equitable government for all citizens regardless of race or gender.

Race Policy & American Politics

The changing definitions of race in America have been shaped by political institutions for centuries. Now, as since the founding of this nation, the U.S. (and societies abroad) are marked by racial inequality. Because of this persistent reality, politics and race continue to be intertwined. This course explores the various ways in which race and politics intersect (and possibly collide). We will observe how racial inequality - and the efforts to overcome it- affect various facets of American local, state, and national politics. Often, New York City will be the launching point for broader discussions and analyses pertaining to relationships between Blacks, whites, Latinos, and Asians. We will also pay particular attention to the causes of contemporary racial mobilization and to its consequences. We will explore the origins of race as an organizing concept before moving into a discussion of contemporary racial politics and policy. Using themes such as inequality and governance, we will attempt to further discern the institutions which support and perpetuate practices such as disenfranchisement, gentrification, tiered civil rights and liberties, and possibilities for economic and special mobility. We will take up several topics that have engaged students of politics and scholars of policy for the past few decades and examine their relationship to race. These include but are not limited to education, immigration, transportation, housing, health, elections, social movements, poverty and homelessness, political representation, justice and inequality. We will also dissect these topics in relation to party politics and elections, group consciousness, group conflict and prejudice, political representation, and political unity - and often disunity - among dominant and non-dominant groups. As we do so, we will explore changes as well as continuities in the intersection of race and politics.

Securing Full Economic and Political Cit

Econ & Pol Citizenship-America

This four week course explores how some citizens of the United States are prevented from realizing full economic and political citizenship. Students will examine the structural design of American political institutions, federal policy and the individuals that are charged with the responsibility of moving people from dependence on social programs to advancement to economic independence as full active citizens. What is it about the design of these policies and their implementation that prevents the achievement of economic independence for so many African-Americans in this country. And, what is the relationship between economic independence and the exercise of full political citizenship? We will identify and examine federal policies and the programs designed to be implemented by cities to provide assistance, the governing bodies and private institutions responsible for implementation. This course will equip students with the skills necessary to analyze current and former policy and develop their own innovative solutions that increase access to economic and social opportunity.

This course will explore the relationship between representative and direct democracy, movement strategy and public policy development in the United States. The course will begin by defining movements and their relationship to power and democratic institutions. This course will examine three movements (1) civil rights, (2) Black Lives Matter/policing reform, and (3) disability rights and the relationship between policy development and governance. We will then examine limitations and opportunities for movement and protest strategies overall. The final two classes will focus on the principles of protest and governance and visioning. Student presentation will consider 21st century strategies for mobilizing popular movements and future opportunities for local and national governance change. And the final course will address scenario planning for the near future.

Modern Titian

In The Stroke of the Brush (1989), David Rosand introduced the authoriality of Titian’s pictorial brushwork by discussing it in the light of contemporary painting processes, such Willem de Kooning’s abstract expressionism. In the exhibition Titian: Loves, Desire, Death, currently at the National Gallery of London, Matthias Wivel presents the Renaissance Venetian painter as the “father of modern painting”. To what extent a Renaissance painter can be modern and how his modernity is to be conceptualized? Through a critical examination of sources and technical data, the seminar will reconsider the paradigm of Titian’s modernity, focusing on some main issues of recent scholarship and presenting distinct methodologies. Investigating what defined painting as modern in Titian’s own period, as well as its reception in modern time, we will also discuss the perspectives of analyzing Titian’s work in the light of the theorization of contemporary societal issues. The course will be run as a seminar, with meetings devoted to discussions. Students will be responsible for the summary and introduction of the weekly readings for discussion. Each student will also be asked to carry out a research project, culminating in a class
presentation and a final paper (10/ 15 double-spaced typed pages + illustrations).
