COLLOQ IN ATLANTIC HISTORY
This colloquium provides an intensive exploration of the Atlantic World during the early modern era. Readings will attend to the sequence of contact, conquest, and dispossession that enabled the several European empires to gain political and economic power. In this regard, particular attention will be given to the role of commerce and merchant capitalism in the formation of the Atlantic World. The course will focus also, however, on the dynamics of cultural exchange, on the two-way influences that pushed the varied peoples living along the Atlantic to develop new practices, new customs, and new tastes. Creative adaptations in the face of rapid social and cultural change will figure prominently in the readings. Students may expect to give sustained attention the worlds Africans, Amerindians, and Europeans both made together and made apart.

POLIT OF HIST & RECONCILIATION
Since the end of the Cold War historical memory has come to play an increasing role in international and intranational conflicts. In addition numerous countries which are transitioning from dictatorship to democracy have focused on the gross historical violations of the previous regime. But not all. The question is how does a focus on the past facilitate present reconciliation? Societies are faced with the expectation that they will attend to the crimes of previous regimes. But what are crimes in historical perspective? And what are the standards for historical responsibility? How does historical conflict and reconciliation differ from approaches to immediate accountability for the past in newly democratic societies? The course examines these political and ethical dilemmas in a comparative historical perspective.

EFFECTIVE K-12 PUBLIC EDUCATION: OBSTACL
In this course we will examine – through readings, class discussion and guest speakers – the challenges inherent in policy setting and implementation of 21st century public education. Following an examination of the historical development of the role of public education in American Society and how it has transformed over time, we will discuss present day complexities. Was there ever a “golden time” in k-12 public education? And if so, what factors within society and the education system contribute to the present reputation of American urban and rural education as subpar and unequal. We will attempt to answer the question: What are the reasons that k-12 public education does not work for everyone and what remedial role can be played by the education systems, government, the private sector, foundations and the courts? Does the increase in income disparity, the breakdown of the traditional family and other contextual factors mean that schools are now expected to do far more than educate our children? If so, are educators properly prepared for this greater role? What other players can and should be instrumental in working with children in order to ensure a transformation of the present system? Specific attention will be paid to public education across the globe. Why do some countries have little access to education and what effect do different systems of education have on the economies of those countries and the well-being of their citizens. Students will explore their experiences in their own k-12 education in America or elsewhere. Issues will be tackled with specific attention paid to lack of access to/inequities within public education across the globe.

MATERIALITY&THE; SACRED
The 'material turn' in the humanities and humanistic social sciences and the rise of 'thing theory' as a distinct field of study, has, over the last two decades, re-invigorated the study of relics and reliquaries, 'things' that oscillate between inanimate 'objects' and animate 'subjects'. Building on a rich body of historical, art historical, and anthropological literature, this graduate seminar explores the 'material rhetoric' of a distinct collection of Western medieval reliquaries and liturgical objects that from part of the so-called Guelph Treasure, the largest and culturally most significant ecclesiastical treasures to survive from Medieval Germany.

URBAN POLITICS & POLICY
All public policy occurs within a political context. The purpose of this seminar is to examine the politics of America's large cities. While we rely on case material from American cities the theoretical and applied problems we consider are relevant to understanding public policy in any global city. Cities are not legal entities defined in the American Constitution. Yet, historically they have developed a politics and policymaking process that at once seems archetypically American and strangely foreign We will consider whether America's traditional institutions of representation "work" for urban America; how the city functions within our federal system; and whether neighborhood democracy is a meaningful construct. We will also consider the impact of politics on urban policymaking. Can cities solve the myriad problems of their populations under existing institutional arrangements? Are cities really rebounding economically or does a crisis remain in communities beyond the resurgence in many downtown business districts? Do the economic and social factors which impact urban politics and policy delimit the city's capacity to find and implement solutions to their problems? Finally, can urban politics be structured to make cities places where working and middle class people choose to live and work and businesses choose to locate; the ultimate test of their viability in the twenty first century.

ANALYSIS OF MUSICAL FORM
A TOOL FOR CONTEMPORARY COMP
Prerequisites: None.
This course will look at musical form in an alternative manner: rather than follow standard concepts of traditional analysis, we will approach form on the basis of perception, namely the perception of time as well as tension and suspense. How does musical form set up expectations of the listener, “manipulates” them, and ultimately destroys/denies them?Since traditional analysis of musical form is often not applicable any more to much of the music of the past century as well as the present, it seems fair to say that the standard approach has ceased to be helpful for contemporary composers. The new approach taken in this course aims to offer a viable alternative to composers working today, providing not only abstract concepts but hands-on tools. A thorough knowledge of traditional analysis of musical form (i.e. the standard musical forms of the Baroque, Classical, and Romantic periods) is expected and required as a prerequisite.

STATE FORMATION, DEFORMATION & FAILURE
Much is made in the contemporary policy world of the challenges of “failed states” and of what is often called “nation-building.” But what are these things we call states? How are they related to nations, to other states, to “nonstate actors,” to the “state system,” to sovereignty? And what do policy-makers need to know as they contemplate problems posed by both strong and weak states? What we know as states today are relatively modern inventions—conventionally dated to the European Peace of Westphalia in 1648—and there are many other ways human communities have governed themselves, kept the peace, fostered arts and letters and otherwise provided some measure of culture and prosperity. Yet today, states cover the world’s territory—the “international state system” even determines the rules for exploitation of the high seas and outer space—and the state seems everywhere triumphant. Except where it isn’t. Challenged by globalization of trade and information flows, labor mobility, the spread of germs, arms, ideas around the world, the state is also under siege. This course examines the character, origins, dissemination and prospects of this building block of modern international affairs. It draws many of its empirical referents from Europe, the Middle East and Africa, but students are welcome to bring knowledge and inquiry about other parts of the world to the course. This course is designed to provide an informed and reflective context for the kinds of policy dilemmas that professionals in both international security and international development confront daily.

Those responsible for addressing these issues are faced with choices. They must develop strategies to determine approaches to pursue as well as decide what not to do. And the landscape of those engaged in attempting to solve seemingly intractable contemporary problems is increasingly diverse. They are not only governments and nongovernmental organizations, but also large institutions, corporations, and many individuals at all levels.

GLOBAL GOVERNANCE REGIMES
"Global Governance" has become an increasingly common term to capture an enormous diversity of governance regimes and specific public and private agreements. It includes well-established public institutions such as the WTO (World Trade Organization) and the ISO (International Standards Organization). But it also includes private agreements among actors in specialized domains, such as private commercial arbitration --which has become the dominant form for settling cross-border business disputes. The course will cover the full range of these governance modes even if not all specific agreements -- a number so vast it is impossible to cover in a single course.

ARMOR AS ART
In the Early Renaissance, armor underwent a technical revolution, which transformed the body of the warrior into a moving statue, entirely covered by shining large metal plates. Armor served defensive and offensive purposes in warfare, but it was also a luxury item that could be worn in festivals. Armor offered a display, changing the image of the man (or occasionally, the woman) who wore it. Ornaments, first engraved and gilded, later embossed in high relief, covered progressively its whole surface, wrapping the wearer’s body with images. Those images could have symbolic, religious, apotropaic functions; they gave eventually to the modern warrior the image of the ancient hero. Armor could also be used as artifact in ex-voto or reliquaries, or be entirely "artful", part of another work's fiction, such as heroic statues. Not least, armor was a central motif of Renaissance pictures, where it came to be associated with a range of topoi. Based on a cross-analysis of works, primary sources, technical and scientific datas, historical and theoretical issues, the course will look at the ways in which armor constituted both an object and a subject of art.

THE FRAGMENT
This seminar uses the broad framework of ‘the fragment’ to analyze pre-archeological studies of the ancient world, the creation of private collections of antiquities, the origin of public museums, as well as artistic and aesthetic approaches to
disiecta membra
and the matter of fragmentation in architecture. It deals with the fragment as both a received and created object, but also as a hybrid of these two categories. It examines fragments as part of a lost whole, replete with historical and symbolic values, and as an individual, relatively autonomous entity. Although the course takes a trans-historical approach, it pays particular attention to the pivotal period between the mid-seventeenth and the early nineteenth century. Moving across the fluid boundaries of the European Republic of Letters and the Mediterranean ‘Republic of the Sea’, it examines how Etruscan, Egyptian, Roman, Greek, Christian, and Islamic fragments of objects, buildings, words, and images were recorded, selected, interpreted, manipulated, appropriated, and transmitted. It also investigates the dynamics of their migrations from their sites of origin to various destinations — libraries, collections and museums—and their transformation from material objects into immaterial ekphrases or images in diverse media—drawings, prints, and book illustrations. Exploring the fragment as a category, the seminar brings art and architecture into dialogue with the management of knowledge, the making of history, the mapping of antiquity, the designing of museums, and the creation of spaces for learning.
