MEDIEVAL DRAMA (SEMINAR)

Diabolical Dramas in the Middl

Hell bursts onto European the stage at the end of the Middle Ages. Satan and his attendant devils, although present in earlier forms of Christian drama, become a defining feature of the dramatizations of Christian history and morality in Late Medieval England. The devils of these plays are disruptive, anarchic, seductive and repulsive. They are rhetorically bewitching and morally dangerous. This course will pay close attention to these devils and their devilry. What to they do? How do they speak? What do they know and what choice do they have in being so diabolical? Rather than viewing devils simply as spiritual antagonists, instead we will investigate them as complex creatures doing serious theological work in the difficult and spiritually tumultuous towns of late medieval England. Through close critical inquiry, contextual reading and some of our own imaginative stagings, we will explore the central role of the ‘diabolic’ in late medieval drama and its sometimes troubling vision of Christian life.

ECONOMICS OF EDUCATION

ECONOMICS OF EDCUATION

Course objective:
This course has two objectives:
(1) To develop students' skills in research and writing. Specifically, participants will work on:
formulating a research question,
placing it in the context of an existing literature and/or policy area, and
using economic and econometric tools to address it in writing.
Specically, in the rst part of the class, readings, problem sets, and a midterm exam
will build skills in these areas. In the second part, students will come up with a research
question, and address it in a research proposal/report. While all the applications will be
on the economics of education, these skills will be useful in students' subsequent careers,regardless of the area of economics they focus on.
(2) To provide an introduction to key issues in the economics of education. Specifically, education is a signicant industryevery person entering this course will have already spent years in this industry as a customer, as a worker, as an input, or all of the above. The course will address questions like: What does economics have to say about how this industry is organized and what determines its output? Why do individuals invest in education? What determines the behavior, productivity, and reputation of rms in the industry? What role should government and public policy (if any) play in its operation?
