GRAD CORE II:PROTEIN/THERMODYN
This course presents a rigorous introduction to solution thermodynamics and applies it to understanding the structural and functional features of proteins. After exploring the conceptual origins of thermodynamic theory, the standard equations describing solution equilibria are derived and applied to analyzing biochemical reactions, with a focus on those involved in protein folding and allosteric communication. The semester culminates with exploration of the energetic factors controlling the formation of protein secondary structures and the role of entropy-enthalpy compensation in determining the complex temperature-dependent thermodynamic properties of aqueous solutions. The course emphasizes both qualitative understanding of the thermodynamic forces controlling the evolution and function of living organisms as well as practical application of thermodynamic methods and structural insight in laboratory research. Tutorials cover the use of curve-fitting techniques to analyze biochemical equilibria as well as the use of molecular visualization software to understand protein structure and function. This is a half semester, 2-point course.

EARLY ECOPOETICS
(Seminar). What is "ecology" in the Middle Ages, and how and why does it matter in medieval literature? Do medieval writers understand nature as a privileged and ontologically stable category, or as something constructed and constantly under pressure, both by human industry and poetic making? Where exactly do medieval poets understand the place of humans to be in the larger cosmos, particularly in relation to other kinds of beings, such as animals, other people, objects, plants or spirits? What does it mean to these poets to think ecologically?

STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT FOR PUB SERVICE ORG
STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT:PUB SERV
How can a nonprofit or public sector organization “be successful?” What does it take to achieve your mission? How should your organization be structured to be most effective? How do you deal with the loss of a major grant, the entrance of a new competitor, or a radical change in the political or funding landscape? How should you motivate your staff and sustain and grow your organization’s leadership?
In order to deal effectively with these challenges, managers need to acquire knowledge and skills in strategic management. These include conceptual and leadership skills such as the ability to accurately read change in the external environment, define and redefine organizational purpose, handle the complex trade-offs between demand for services and resource constraints, manage ongoing relationships and partnerships with other groups, maintain the commitment and productivity of employees, and guide the organization toward continuous improvement of service production and delivery systems to meet client needs. In other words, managers need deep knowledge of how to think, decide, and act strategically, both in organizational affairs and in matters affecting their capacity for leadership.
Strategic Management aims to prepare current and future managers of public service organizations for leadership roles by focusing on the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes needed to manage public service organizations strategically.

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.

GREEKS&ART; ROMAN EMPIRE
The incorporation of the Greek-speaking world into the Roman empire had far-reaching consequences for ancient artistic and architectural production—both in Rome itself and in Greece and Asia Minor, as well as in the broader eastern Mediterranean area. On the one hand, the adoption of Greek historical forms, styles, and iconographies by the Romans led to the formation of a system of visual communication of empire-wide import that transcended ethnically or nationally defined categories and yet never became completely oblivious of its roots. On the other hand, the new political, economic, and social conditions of the Greek provinces (as well as their integration into the above-mentioned system of visual communication) engendered a profound innovation of local artistic and architectural traditions, even and precisely in their manifestation of retrospective tendencies. This complex process, by which both Greek and Roman “identities” were subject to major shifts and re-definitions, deserves to be examined by taking into full account the multiplicity of perspectives that characterized it.

ANARCHY: HIST,THEORY,PROSPECTS
The course aims to research, review, and reconsider the historical and philsophical conditions and premises of anarchism, as a movement that emerges in the 19th century, culminates in certain instances in the middle of 20th century, and is beginning to re-emerge as a political option in the current international youth and anti-globalization movements. In this specific way, the course will explore the affinities between anarchism and radical democracy, again in both theoretical and historical spheres. In addition, however, the course will consider the philosophical underpinnings of anarchy as a particular mindset toward, not only political forms and practices, but also forms and structures of knowledge more generally. This latter dimension will involve both ancient Greek and contemporary discussions of epistemology, particularly insofar as conditions of archē (origin and rule) are conceptualized in the absence of extrinsic norms. The overall impetus is to reflect on historical structures so as to elucidate contemporary conditions of both knowledge and political practice, as they have manifested themselves in a "global" demand for a radical democratic life.

INFRASTRUCTURE COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS
This course aims to provide students with the analytical tools to assess and evaluate infrastructure projects in the United States and worldwide. In particular, students will explore the methodologies and techniques as they relate to cost-benefit analysis with a special focus on hands-on problems and experiences. Each lecture is structured in two parts: theory/methodology in the first half of each class and application of the learned concepts through an analysis of case studies in the second half. Case studies will cover various applications of CBA as it relates to infrastructure (not general public policy issues as those are addressed in other courses). Examples of such case studies are transit investments in the US, water and wastewater infrastructure improvements, electricity grid upgrades or airport expansions. Case studies will cover both the US and developing country contexts.
Throughout the semester students will be expected to complete a cost-benefit analysis in the form of a group project. The project will consist of all important components of such an analysis such as a literature review, methodology section, description of project scenarios to be evaluated, compilation and monetization of the main costs and benefits, development of an Excel model including discounting and sensitivity analyses. The quantitative analysis and estimation of benefits and costs will be critical and require students to be familiar with spreadsheet applications and formulas in Microsoft Excel. Working with actual project and performance data will be required as much as is feasible in each case.
