MASTERPIECES OF WESTERN ART
Equivalent to HUMA C1121 and F1121. Not a historical survey but an analytical study of masterpieces, including originals available in the metropolitan area. The chief purpose is to acquaint students with the experience of a work of art. A series of topics in the development of Western art, selected to afford a sense of the range of expressive possibilities in painting, sculpture, and architecture, such as the Parthenon, the Gothic cathedral, and works of Michelangelo, Bruegel, Picasso, and others. Space is limited. Columbia University undergraduates who need this course for graduation are encouraged to register during early registration.

MASTERPIECES OF WESTERN MUSIC
Equivalent to MUSI F1123 and C1123. Part of the Core Curriculum since 1947, Music Humanities aims to instill in students a basic comprehension of the many forms of the Western musical imagination. Its specific goals are to awaken and encourage in students an appreciation of music in the Western world, to help them learn to respond intelligently to a variety of musical idioms, and to engage them in the various debates about the character and purposes of music that have occupied composers and musical thinkers since ancient times. The course attempts to involve students actively in the process of critical listening, both in the classroom and in concerts that the students attend and write about. The extraordinary richness of musical life in New York is thus an integral part of the course. Although not a history of Western music, the course is taught in a chronological format and includes masterpieces by Josquin des Prez, Monteverdi, Bach, Handel, Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Verdi, Wagner, Schoenberg, and Stravinsky, among others. No previous knowledge of music required. Columbia University undergraduates who need this course for graduation are encouraged to register during early registration.

CHANGES SPACES AND MOBILITIES: WOMEN IN
The turn-of-the-century United States was a nation on the cusp of a number of momentous social, cultural, and political movements. One of the biggest changes was in the status and role of women. From the emergence of the New Woman in the last decade of the 19th century, to the suffragette in the 1910s and the flapper in the 1920s, the roles and positions of women were expanding and evolving in unprecedented ways. Coupled with the growth and expansion of cities, women’s mobility and the spaces they occupied changed dramatically during this time period. In this course, we will examine texts that depict the situation of women and their mobility in various social and cultural contexts in the shifting urban landscape of early twentieth-century New York City. What spaces were women allowed/expected to occupy? What spaces were considered taboo or off limits? What were the effects and consequences of the spaces that women occupied? How did women’s mobility differ to men’s? How do race and class impact mobility and space? What factors influenced women’s mobility and how did these factors change/develop over time? Course materials will likely include work by Nella Larsen, Djuna Barnes, Sui Sin Far, Anzia Yezierska, Edith Wharton, and Faith Baldwin, as well as the film Skyscraper Souls

Gone Viral: Public Health in a Global Co
This course examines the rapidly evolving social, cultural, behavioral, political, and socioeconomic dimensions of public health in community, national, regional, and global contexts. We consider how health as well as the generation of knowledge about health are being continually re-shaped by factors such as age, gender, sexual orientation, race and ethnicity, social class, geography, and interactions within physical and digital environments. We learn how to analyze dynamic public health problems and identify agile solutions by casting light on individual risk factors as well as larger structural forces. We consider how social media enables the rapid proliferation of hotly contested messages and information about the rights of the individual versus the welfare of the public. Finally, we critically examine the ways in which our understandings of health and well-being perpetually shape, and are shaped by, health care systems in flux, the mediation of our own values, and our changing assumptions about the world. "Gone Viral: Public Health in a Global Context" is an exploration of the spread of pathogens and other health threats as well as the spread of ideas and knowledge about them via social media and other platforms. The course is offered twice during the NextGen Leadership Institute (NGLI); students may choose to register for either Session I or Session II. The course is structured around nine (9) in-person sessions that meet during a three-week period. The format combines interactive lectures with discussion-based seminars. The course introduces students to fundamental concepts and issues in public health. Students read selected excerpts from public health textbooks, public health journals, and popular magazines. Short videos, social media content, and documentary films supplement the readings, providing a diversified basis for lively collegial debate. Concurrent with class sessions, students also engage in basic research outside of the classroom by conducting rapid ethnographic assessment. Research methods include observational exercises in public spaces, recruitment of and informal interviews with respondents, small group assignments within walking distance of campus, and participant-observation in online spaces where public health ideas are evinced and negotiated. The course has six learning objectives: 1. Introduce definitions of disease, illness, and well-being from various perspectives. 2. Introduce students to a population perspective on health and disease. 3. Define and describe the social determinant

INTRO TO COMPARATIVE POLITICS
This course provides a broad overview of the comparative politics subfield by focusing on critical substantive questions about the world today. The course is organized around four questions: 1. Why can only some people depend upon the state to enforce order? 2. Why are some countries more democratic than others? 3. What different institutional forms does democratic government take? 4. Are some institutions more likely than others to produce significant social outcomes such as representation, accountability, redistribution, and democratic stability? Because the study of comparative politics requires knowledge of specific cases, we will focus on eight countries: China, Germany, India, Japan, Mexico, Nigeria, Russia, and the United Kingdom. This course will prepare students for higher-level courses in political science in two ways. First, it will teach students to make and evaluate arguments about politics. Second, it will make students aware of to the methods political scientists use in their research.

DEAD MOTHERS AND WICKED STEPMOTHERS: THE
DEAD MOTHER-WICKED STEPMO
You know them well: on one side, the scheming, jealous stepmother, obsessed with her fading youth. On the other, her husband’s virginal, naive, and beautiful daughter – whose own mother is usually dead. The conflict between them is so familiar that it feels inevitable. Where, though, did these nearly universal figures come from? Why are they so ingrained in the imaginations of people around the world and across the millennia? In this course, we’ll explore the roots of the maternal in folk and fairy tales. We’ll analyze a variety of stories and films to investigate the “absent mother,” “virginal daughter,” and “wicked stepmother” from different critical perspectives, paying special attention to analytical psychology and feminist psychoanalytic theories, to try to figure out why these figures are so compelling, so ubiquitous, and so hard to shake.

We’ll analyze a variety of stories and films to investigate the “absent mother,” “virginal daughter,” and “wicked stepmother” from different critical perspectives, paying special attention to analytical psychology and feminist psychoanalytic theories, to try to figure out why these figures are so compelling, so ubiquitous, and so hard to shake.

Core as Praxis/Fieldwork
"The Core as Praxis/Fieldwork” provides students with the opportunity to explore the connections among texts from the Core Curriculum, their work in their major field of study, and their work in a professional environment outside of Columbia’s campus. Students will be guided through a process of reflection on the ideas and approaches that they develop in Core classes and in the courses in their major, to think about how they can apply theory to practice in the context of an internship or other experiential learning environment. Students will reread and revisit a text that they have studied previously in Literature Humanities or in Contemporary Civilization as the basis for their reading and writing assignments over the semester.
To be eligible, students must (1) be engaged during the semester in an internship or other experiential learning opportunity, (2) have completed the sophomore year, and (3) have declared their major (or concentration)
. HUMAUN2000 may not be taken with the Pass/D/Fail option. All students will receive a letter grade for the course. Students can take HUMAUN2000 twice.

DANCE IN PARIS
This 28-day course is an immersion in Parisian culture from the point of view of the dancer. The course is divided into three major components: technique, composition, and history. Students will take a series of technique classes in modern, ballet, improvisation, world dance forms, and yoga, taught by Barnard/USF and international guest faculty, as well as opportunities to take alternative technique classes in some of Paris’s professional dance studios. Students will be exposed to the rich artistic side of Paris through lectures and performances, as well as assigned readings by major dancers/writers/artists who have drawn on the Parisian landscape as inspiration for their work.
A final choreographic project based on compositional exercises that will take students to various Parisian locales, will be presented during the final week of the course. We will also visit many important locations essential to studying the history of dance in Western culture, including Versailles, Théâtre de la Ville and the Paris Opera.

DISORDERS OF THE MIND AND THE BRAIN
MIND/BRAIN DISORDERS
Mental disorders have historically been distinguished from other medical illnesses because they affect the higher cognitive processes that are referred to as the “mind”. Neuroscience offers one way for understanding mental disorders, asserting that the mind is a manifestation of brain activity, thereby categorizing these disorders as essentially brain disorders. This course explores the ongoing search for the brain correlates of mental disorders and the significant impact this search has had on our contemporary understanding of mental health. Engaging with review and research papers on schizophrenia, autism spectrum, and mood disorders, students will learn to interpret experimental evidence in Neuroscience and to evaluate known theories through both supporting and non-supporting evidence. While the course acknowledges neuroscience's progress in understanding mental disorders, it also considers some of the problems encountered in viewing them as essentially biological phenomena: Can brain-based explanations capture the lived experience of mental disorders? Could these disorders also originate from outside the brain? How should they be treated, and should they be always treated?
NOTE: The course desctiption is the same for the fall/spring course and the summer course.

Drawing in the City
Course Description:
This course will provide an opportunity to experience New York City through drawing. It will focus on drawing as a way of experiencing and viewing the world and as a way of expressing concepts. The class takes place both in the studio and in the city itself, including in cultural institutions, parks, cafes and the street. In sketchbooks and journals, students will document and elaborate upon their encounters with the city. The class will incorporate different themes, including: history, community, intimacy, exchange, structure, motion, architecture, nature. We will learn about different drawing techniques and uses of drawing. Exercises will at times intersect with quotidian urban activities. We will, for example, document a walk through the park or sit in a cafe working out visual ideas. Students will fill their sketchbook with drawn records of their experience of the city and will learn about the history of depicting the city through the eyes of different artists such as Edward Hopper, Martin Wong, Faith Ringold, Alice Neel, Florine Stettheimer and Mina Loy.
Readings, critiques and individual tutorials will be interspersed throughout the working sessions. Students will be required to write or draw in their journals inside and outside of class, and to share ideas and insights in a time allocated to this at the beginning of each class. Materials list will be provided and should be brought to class from the second class on.

Architectural Design Summer Studio: Envi
Arch Design: Envr Mediato
This architectural design summer studio course explores modes of visualization, technologies of mediation, and
spaces of environmental and material transformations. These explorations will be used as catalysts for
architectural analysis and design experimentation.
Introducing design methodologies that allow us to perceive and reshape spatial and material interactions in new
ways, the studio will focus on how architecture negotiates, alters or redirects multiple forces in our world:
physical, cultural, social, technological, political etc. The semester progresses through two projects that examine
unique atmospheric, spatial and urban conditions with the aid of multimedia visual techniques; and that employ
design to develop critical and creative interventions at different scales. Learning analog and digital drawing
techniques, physical model-making, and multimedia image production, students will work in the studio and
digital architecture lab. The course includes site visits and field trips in the city.
NOTE: The course may be used to fulfill major requirements. It can replace: ARCH 2101 Architectural Design:
Environment Mediations OR ARCH 2103 Architectural Design: Systems and Materials. OR students may use it as
an additional optional studio course to complement their overall studies in the major. Preference will be given
to students who have completed one studio course or Design Futures course.

Linear Algebra and Probability
Linear algebra with a focus on probability and statistics. The course covers the standard linear algebra topics: systems of linear equations, matrices, determinants, vector spaces, bases, dimension, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, the Spectral Theorem and singular value decompositions. It also teaches applications of linear algebra to probability, statistics and dynamical systems giving a background sufficient for higher level courses in probability and statistics. The topics covered in the probability theory part include conditional probability, discrete and continuous random variables, probability distributions and the limit theorems, as well as Markov chains, curve fitting, regression, and pattern analysis. The course contains applications to life sciences, chemistry, and environmental life sciences. No a priori background in the life sciences is assumed.
This course is best suited for students who wish to focus on applications and practical approaches to problem solving. It is recommended to students majoring in engineering, technology, life sciences, social sciences, and economics.
Math majors, joint majors, and math concentrators must take MATH UN2010 Linear Algebra or MATH UN1207 Honors Math A, which focus on linear algebra concepts and foundations that are needed for upper-level math courses. MATH UN2015 (Linear Algebra and Probability) does NOT replace MATH UN2010 (Linear Algebra) as prerequisite requirements of math courses. Students may not receive full credit for both courses MATH UN2010 and MATH UN2015. Students who have taken MATH UN2015 and consider taking higher level Math courses should contact a major advisor to discuss alternative pathways.
