GIS FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMNT

This course is designed to provide students with a comprehensive overview of theoretical concepts underlying GIS systems and to give students a strong set of practical skills to use GIS for sustainable development research. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are a system of computer software, data and analysis methods used to create, store, manage, digital information that allow us to create maps and dynamic models to analyze the physical and social processes of the world. Through a mixture of lectures, readings, focused discussions, and hands-on exercises, students will acquire an understanding of the variety and structure of spatial data and databases, gain knowledge of the principles behind raster and vector based spatial analysis, and learn basic cartographic principles for producing maps that effectively communicate a message. Student will also learn to use newly emerging web based mapping tools such as Google Earth, Google Maps and similar tools to develop on-line interactive maps and graphics. The use of other geospatial technologies such as the Global Positioning System will also be explored in this class. Case studies examined in class will draw examples from a wide ranges of GIS applications developed to assist in the development, implementation and evaluation of sustainable development projects and programs. On completion of the course, students will: 1. use a variety of GIS software programs to create maps and reports; 2. develop a sound knowledge of methods to search, obtain, and evaluate a wide variety of spatial data resources; 3. develop skills needed to determine best practices for managing spatial data resources; 4. use GIS to analyze the economic, social and environmental processes underlying the concept of building a sustainable world; 5. Gain an understanding of the limits of these technologies and make assessments of uncertainty associated with spatial data and spatial analysis models. Offered in the fall and spring.

PUBLIC OUTDOOR SCULPT COLUMBIA-BARNARD

OUTDOOR SCULP COLUMBIA-BARNARD

The donation to Columbia of Reclining Figure, a large bronze sculpture of an abstract female form by Henry Moore, has sparked lively debate about the role of public outdoor sculpture at Columbia and Barnard. Inspired by this debate, which attracted international attention in the press, this seminar will study our extremely varied collection of public sculpture from multiple perspectives. Among the issues we will consider are the nature of public space, the relationship between the space of a university campus and it surrounding environment, the aesthetic and administrative choices that lie behind the display of sculpture on our own campus, and the ways through which works of sculpture express institutional values and ideals. Students will research works such as The Thinker by Rodin, Alma Mater by Daniel Chester French, Equestrian Lincoln by Anna Hyatt Huntington, Curl by Clement Meadmore, and SELECTIONS FROM TRUISMS by Jenny Holzer, as well as Moore's controversial piece. Through archival research, students will investigate the history of how these and other works were acquired, how decisions were made about their placement on campus, and how responses to them have changed over time. We also will pay special attention to materials, processes, and conservation of sculpture, visit a bronze foundry in Astoria with sculptor Greg Wyatt (CC '71), and view the collection of outdoor sculpture at Princeton. The seminar will allow students to study works of art they see daily and to gain research experience in the university archives to which they will have ready access. The seminar will be valuable also in addressing issues of public art and institutional values widely discussed and debated in our society.

CORP BEHAVIOR & PUBLIC HEALTH

In the decades since the publication of Silent Spring and the rise of the environmental movement, public awareness of the impact of industrial products on human health has grown enormously. There is growing concern over BPA, lead, PCBs, asbestos, and synthetic materials that make up the world around us. This course will focus on environmental history, industrial and labor history as well as on how twentieth century consumer culture shapes popular and professional understanding of disease. Throughout the term the class will trace the historical transformation of the origins of disease through primary sources such as documents gathered in lawsuits, and medical and public health literature. Students will be asked to evaluate historical debates about the causes of modern epidemics of cancer, heart disease, lead poisoning, asbestos-related illnesses and other chronic conditions. They will also consider where responsibility for these new concerns lies, particularly as they have emerged in law suits. Together, we will explore the rise of modern environmental movement in the last 75 years.

CITY,ENVIRONMNT,VULNERABILITY

How are urbanites situated in place? What can that particular situation tell us about how urbanites will live, thrive, and waste in those places? How do social divides, like race and class, render the situations of some more or less vulnerable to environmental harm or the physical constraints of place? This seminar takes up those questions through the lens of the urban built environment and the relations it establishes between urbanites, the things of their city, and their material dimensions. We start with readings that challenge us to conceptualize the urban environment as an assemblage of bodies and things that impinge upon each other in consequential ways. We then move to several historical and ethnographic cases that foreground the stakes of these impingements in cities. Cases examined include urban waste systems, disasters, noise hazards, and mobility constraints. Throughout, our readings, conversations and excursions will consider what attention to the urban built environment can bring to studies of social inequality and urban social movements.

Metropolitan regions and the planning politics that lie beneath the regional plans and strategic initiatives are critical in the mitigation of some of these risks and in the understanding of regional politics. Historical and contemporary case studies will prepare the students to conduct their own critical analysis and reading of a case where several themes discussed in class will be further explored.

PUBLIC INTELLECTUALS (BEFORE MODERN ERA)

PUBLIC INTELLECTUALS BEF MOD

Were there public intellectuals before the advent of modernity? What was it like to be a public intellectual before the existence of the public sphere as we know it today —including the media, mass communication, etc.? Who were there? Where were they located? How public were their interactions? What kind of impact did they expect form their interlocution with power? How did they “speak truth to power”? In this course we will explore these and other questions. For this purpose, we will be reading works from Christine de Pizan, a 14th-15th century woman political scientist; Teresa de Cartagena, a 15th century nun interested in the intellectual value of women in a man’s world; Averroes, a Muslim intellectual from the 12th century who went into exile because of his ideas before the dynastic changes taking place in al-Andalus; Maimonides, a 12th century Jewish lawyer and thinker who challenged the way in which global legal scholars studied the Jewish law; Juan Hispano, a 16th century professor and poet of African descent (son to black slaves) who wrote poems about the wars in the Mediterranean; Diego de Valera, a 15th century plebeian intellectual who spoke truth to power with the purpose of stop the civil war; Mancebo de Arévalo, a morisco from the 16th century who engaged in an ethnographic trip across the Iberian Peninsula in order to rebuild the moorish culture after the processes of geographical displacement undertaken by the Spanish monarchy; Olivia Sabuco de Nantes Barrera, a sixteenth century woman who engaged in philosophical research; etc. In addition to that, we will be reading critical and theoretical work of Michel Foucault, Judith Butler, Gayatri Spivak, and others. In this course, we intend to create an #inclusivesyllabus. This course will be cross-listed with the Institute for Comparative Literature and Society.

MISTAKE, MISCONDUCT, DISASTER

HOW ORGANIZATIONS FAIL

How Organizations Fail - the fundamental principles of organizations, examining how and why organizations fail, producing harmful outcomes.  Studying failures opens up parts of organizations for public view that are seldom seen; studying the dark side is especially revealing. Students will examine cases to identify the causes of failures and think about what kind of strategies can be developed that prevent failure.

COLD WAR IMAGINARIES: GEO/CAP/DICT SPAIN

The course focuses on the cultural logics of the Cold War imaginaries in the Franco Dictatorship in Spain throughout literature, films, essays, visual texts and social practices. Global accounts of the Cold War are dislocated in the cultural productions in a 'peripheral Fordist’ country controlled by a fascist government. The course discusses the transition from the postwar autarchy to the so-called “Spanish economic miracle” and how culture offers a place of reflection of these transformations in a split global economy. In the frame of the cultural studies, we will study works and practices where topics such as the connection between technology, sovereignty and surveillance, the birth of a consumer society, and gender and class struggles are aesthetic and political issues defying the control of the fascist government. Students will be introduced to theoretical writing on Cold War Studies from which they can gain an accurate understanding of the specificities of the Spanish cultural productions between 1950 and 1975. This class will be conducted in Spanish and all written assignments will also be in that language.

BEGINNING VIDEO

Beginning Video is an introductory class on the production and editing of digital video. Designed as an intensive hands-on production/post-production workshop, the apprehension of technical and aesthetic skills in shooting, sound and editing will be emphasized. Assignments are developed to allow students to deepen their familiarity with the language of the moving image medium. Over the course of the term, the class will explore the language and syntax of the moving image, including fiction, documentary and experimental approaches. Importance will be placed on the decision making behind the production of a work; why it was conceived of, shot, and edited in a certain way. Class time will be divided between technical workshops, viewing and discussing films and videos by independent producers/artists and discussing and critiquing students projects. Readings will be assigned on technical, aesthetic and theoretical issues. Only one section offered per semester. If the class is full, please visit

ADVANCED WORKSHOP TRANSLATION

Prerequisites: CPLT BC 3110 - Introduction to Translation Studies is a recommended prerequisite.
A deep immersion in the theory and practice of translation with a focus on translating into English. The first half of the course is devoted to discussing readings in the history of translation theory while translating brief practical exercises; in the second half, translation projects are submitted to the class for critical discussion. The foreign texts for these projects, chosen in consultation with the instructor, will be humanistic, not only literature as conventionally defined (prose fiction and poetry, memoir and travel writing), but also the gamut of text types in the human sciences, including philosophy, history, and ethnography. The aim is not just to translate, but to think deeply about translating, to develop writing practices by drawing on the resources of theory, past and present, and by examining translations written by professionals.  In the spring of 2016, the workshop will be offered in two sections by Professor Peter Connor and Professor Emily Sun. The sections will share most of the common readings in the history of translation theory, but Professor Sun's section will emphasize issues specific to translating East Asia. Enrollment in each workshop is limited to 12 students. Admission into the class is by permission of the instructor. CPLT BC 3011 "Introduction to Translation Studies" is a recommended prerequisite, plus, normally, two advanced courses beyond the language requirement in the language from which you intend to translate. Preference will be given to seniors and to comparative literature majors.  Please Email
pconnor@barnard.edu
by 1 December 2015 with the following information: Name, year of graduation, major, college (BC, CU, etc.); a list of courses you have taken in the language from which you intend to translate; any other pertinent courses you have taken; a brief (max 300 word) statement explaining why you wish to take the workshop (this statement is not required if you have taken or are taking CPLT BC3110 Intro to Translation Studies).
