This course examines electoral process in democratic settings. The course considers the nature of individual preferences and voting decisions, the role of political parties, party competition, and the quality of political elites. It then focuses on important issues influencing electoral processes today, including globalization, populism, immigration, and gender. A key focus throughout the class will be the importance of context: how should we expect the social and institutional context to influence answers to the questions we consider. The course will also frequently include readings that use formal, game theoretic models to develop arguments. A minimal requirement for students to take the class is therefore that they have taken or be taking POLS G4730 (or equivalent).
This course emphasizes critical analysis of disparities in women’s health both historically and in the current health care system. Institutional racism and misogyny will be examined as a major contributor to health disparities. Health outcomes across the lifespan for women in the United States will be compared and contrasted with outcomes in low and high resource countries. The social and political context will include disparities identified based on the social determinants of health which include age, race, poverty, mental and physical capacity, ethnicity, language, country of national origin, gender identity, sexual orientation. Efforts to close the gap in disparities will be identified and analyzed.
Prerequisites: the instructors permission. Students will make presentations of original research.
This course addresses issues throughout a woman’s life span in the arena of gynecological well-being. It focuses on the development of a knowledge base that enables us to understand what gynecological and reproductive well-being is for a woman and how this impacts her health physically, mentally, emotionally, and culturally. From this perspective, we can develop appropriate patient education to maximize her ability to achieve and maintain well-being. Topics include the full range of gynecologic and reproductive health maintenance issues and challenges women face across the life cycle.

Machine learning, broadly defined as analytic techniques that fit models algorithmically by adapting to patterns in data, is growing in use across many areas within public health and healthcare. This course is intended for students with existing training in epidemiology and basic biostatistics who seek an introduction to the use of machine learning within epidemiologic research and practice. This includes an overview of key-terms and commonly-used algorithms, debates of the ethical and scientific considerations on the use of data-driven analytics when the goals are improvements in public health and causal inference and in-depth discussions about common implementations of machine learning within the current epidemiologic literature. Using a flipped classroom format, the course will combine online lecture videos with in-class discussions and group exercises to ensure a balance of substantive knowledge and practical skills. Through this hybrid learning approach, students will learn to apply critical thinking techniques as they explore the opportunities and limitations of using machine learning within the context of epidemiology. Throughout the duration of the course, all classes will include clear examples from the epidemiologic literature, discussions on ethical issues surrounding the use of machine learning and hands-on programming exercises in R/R Studio. After completion of this course, students will be able to discuss scenarios where machine learning can (and cannot) benefit epidemiologic analysis, analyze public health data using commonly-used machine learning techniques in R software, and pursue either more in-depth technical training or informed collaborations with scientists with specialized machine learning expertise.

This course provides the graduate nurse-midwifery student with a theoretical and practical knowledge of the neonate, breastfeeding, and the postpartum period with an emphasis on the first six weeks. Normal physiology and family centered management skills are emphasized. Students are encouraged to provide care that recognizes and respects the cultural dynamics of the family. Pathophysiology is also covered to familiarize the nurse-midwife with various interventions when deviations from the normal are encountered.
Didactic presents an understanding of the process of labor, birthing, and immediate postpartum and how this impacts on the mother and baby from a midwifery perspective. Specific focus centers on the midwifery management process, particularly for the normal, with differential diagnosis to determine when intervention/consultation is necessary. Birthing management will be viewed in a variety of settings and cultures. Practical skills for assessment and management will be taught. The course will provide mastery of the core competencies required by ACNM.
Clinical practice includes nurse-midwifery management of the care of the normal intrapartum woman/ newborn/ family and collaboration and/or referral for complex management. Experience on the postpartum ward and in newborn care is obtained in this clinical rotation when intrapartum patients are not available.
Comparative media is an emergent approach intended to draw upon and interrupt canonical ideas in film and media theory. It adopts a comparative approach to media as machines and aesthetic practices by examining contemporary media in relation to the introduction of earlier technologies. The class also extends our focus beyond the U.S. and Europe by examining other cultural locations of media innovation and appropriation. In doing so, it decenters normative assumptions about media and media theory while introducing students to a range of media practices past and present.
Clinical skills preparation is essential before a student enters clinical practicum. A variety of skills relevant to intrapartum, newborn, and postpartum care are taught and then practiced in simulation settings and peer practice.
This hybrid lecture/seminar course will consider major developments and figures in French architectural theory and practice from the eve of the Revolution to the eve of the First World War.
