Global Environmental Ethics for Developm

Global Env. Ethics

In addition to climate change, the seizure of resources, together with land-grabbing and ecological contamination and destruction, are pervasive throughout the world. State, corporate, and illicit power enable these circumstances, whether by managerial incompetence, or by force or finance, including invasion and corruption. In some cases, well-intentioned measures meet with antagonism, as a result of failed communication and participation. The voices of indigenous peoples are often among those purposefully or negligently unheard. In this course, development ethics, including environmental justice, are explained, as is their applicability in what is increasingly a global environment for which we are inescapably responsible.

Population Ecology

Population Ecology is a quantitative field that through theoretical and empirical tools attempts to describe intrinsic and extrinsic processes that determine how populations change over time.  Intrinsic factors include population structure, rate of change, and life histories; extrinsic factors include environmental variation, interspecific interactions, and anthropogenic perturbations that affect population change.  A comprehensive understanding of populations and how they respond to changing environments forms the basics of conservation biology and wildlife management. This class will explore how concepts of population ecology can be used to inform the conservation and management of natural populations and ecosystems. We will emphasize practical approaches to problem-solving in ecology, conservation, and wildlife management using simulation models and inferential statistics. Topics will include Population Viability Analysis (PVA), metapopulations, species interactions, threats to wild populations, wildlife management and more. Laboratory exercises will provide hands-on experience with wildlife population models and their practical applications in wildlife ecology and management.

EU Policymaking & New Global Challenges

EU Policymaking-Global Challen

This course explores the process of EU policy-making - how and why certain public policies are pursued by the institutions of the European Union - and analyses what the Union is doing to address a number of major policy challenges in today's interdependent world. After providing a general introduction to the overall policy process in the EU - looking at how policies are born, adopted, enacted, implemented and reviewed - this term's course will examine the specific policy agenda of the current European Commission (2019-24), led by Ursula von der Leyen, and do a 'deep dive' into EU action in three areas: the fight against climate change, the development of a 'digital Europe', and the EU response to the on-going coronavirus crisis. It will identify the key characteristics of these policies, assess how far they are succeeding or failing, and ask what they show about the evolving EU political system. The course will round off with an assessment of the growing emphasis on strategic foresight in the EU policy-making and identify new policies that are likely to be developed in coming years. Taught from a practitioner perspective by Anthony Teasdale, Director General of the European Parliament's research service, the course aims to provide a firm grounding in modern EU policy and should appeal to those interested both in EU politics and in the individual policy issues under discussion.

Readings in Sufi Texts

This seminar is based entirely on the primary sources of Ṣūfism, including the writings of Qushayrī, Nūrī, Muḥāsibī, Sarrāj, Ghazālī, Hujwīrī, Ibn ʿArabī, Suhrawardī, Shaʿrānī, and al-Ḥakīm al-Tirmidhī. We will explore how the leading Ṣūfīs saw themselves and the ways in which they articulated their identity. This is also articulated in the ways they organized their works and constructed the biographies of their ethical exemplars. We will study their major concepts and descriptions of their own experiences, and then theorize their subjective formations as “hermeneutics of the subject.” Inasmuch as this seminar is about how we study and view Ṣūfism, it is also as much about the various ways this conception of the world can inform a basis of a set of critiques of modernity and its epistemologies and practices.

Topics in Organizational Economics

This course introduces the students to the field of Organizational Economics. We combine theoretical and empirical methods to study the nature, design, and performance of organizations. Organizations, such as firms, bureaucracies, and political parties, live in a second-best world, where inefficiencies are inevitable. Our goal is to understand and measure these inefficiencies, study their causes and how to minimize them. This course is divided in two parts of equal length. The first part introduces a few of the main theoretical models and findings from the organizational-economics literature. The second part focuses on how to bring the models to the data. By design, the course is intended for a broad set of students: those who are theoretically inclined, those who are empirically inclined, and those who are both. Many of the tools and skills that are developed in this course will be useful not only within organizational economics but, more broadly, to other fields such as industrial organization, political economy, development economics. Our ultimate goal is to accelerate the students' transition toward conducting their own independent research.

Meeting the Climate Challenge at all Lev

Meeting Climate Challenge

This course examines the role of states, cities, and other sub-nationals in crafting and implementing the policy, technical, and behavioral changes necessary to address the climate crisis. While this topic has received increased attention since the election of Donald Trump in the United States, the reality is that cities, states, and other sub-nationals would still have an enormous, if not leading, role to play even with a cooperative federal government. Indeed, one could argue that subnationals represent the front lines in the fight. Substantively, our focus will be on the role of these actors in driving the necessary transition to clean energy, perhaps the key component in the overall effort to combat climate change. The energy sector is also particularly fertile ground for state and city action since states and cities oversee their power grids, establish building codes, and regulate electric and other utilities. Many of the issues and dynamics we will examine in the energy area also have direct application to other aspects of climate policy, such as food and agriculture and land use. The goal of the course is to get students to think more deeply about climate change and the complex intersection of science, economics, and politics that makes policy in this area so interesting and, at the same time, so difficult.

New Classicism

This graduate seminar is an investigation and interrogation of the English Renaissance. It will offer grounding in the nineteenth-century emergence of the Renaissance as a cultural and conceptual category, as well as the prevailing scholarly understanding of how sixteenth-century writers, poets, and playwrights negotiated their estrangement from the classical past. But the course will also aim, more urgently, to forge new pathways in classical reception studies. To what uses, we will ask, did English writers put their classical sources, and what imagined ideas about antiquity did they generate as a result? How did that engagement with classical sources shape emergent ideas about gender, race, and class? And though the course will center on the literary production of late-sixteenth and early-seventeenth century England, it will also cast a wide geographical net, seeking out the Renaissances and classical pasts that have been neglected in the focus on the European revival of ancient Greece and Rome. Attending to a variety of critical methodologies, this seminar will bring together a range of literary forms, including drama, epic, poetry, and civic spectacle, from a range of places, including England, Italy, and the Ottoman Empire.

Plantation Literatures of the Early Amer

Plantation Lit. of Early

Teaching “plantation literature” can mean many things. We could, for instance start with the Plymouth Plantation writings, and spend much of our time on US Southern plantations. But, because a Jamaican economist, George Beckford, has summed up a common understanding of it, throughout our class we will keep in mind his definition of “plantation America” as having its locus in the Caribbean: “this region,” Beckford posited, “is generally regarded as the classic plantation area. So much so that social anthropologists, have described the region as a culture sphere.” According to this understanding, “plantation America” is a cultural zone whose history is related to the establishment not of societies, but of plantation production units. As Sylvia Wynter famously put it, “the Caribbean area is the classic plantation area since many of its units were ‘planted’ with people, not in order to form societies, but to carry on plantations whose aim was to produce single crops for the market.” Due to the centrality of this region, our class will focus mostly on early Caribbean plantation writing. In the 17th and 18th centuries – the time span our course will cover – these writings were produced mostly by planters/slave owners, such as Aphra Benn, James Granger or Matthew Gregory Lewis. However, in these early Caribbean archives we will try to hear voices that differ from those of the planters; cultivating an archival eye for what these texts may tell us about the enslaved, their habitats and ecosystems, their cosmologies, epistemic practices, medical archives and novel worldviews as they changed and emerged in the syncretic space of the plantation system. In addition to looking closely into the writings of the “plantation zone” in this strict sense, we will expand our understanding of plantation to include attempts at establishing plantations (de Vaca), as well as writing on cultural zones where the “plantation” was organized not around the vegetal, but around the mineral and the metallic (mining gold and silver in Latin America and the Caribbean). And because plantation/mining zones were also based on a certain state of mind (on a certain philosophy and its fictions) we will look in new ways at the founding plantation fiction,
Robinson Crusoe
. And finally, since the people “planted” on plantations in these early times rarely had an occasion to write their minds – their worldviews

Corporate Finance

Corporate finance is an introductory finance course. It is a central course for students taking the international finance track of the International Finance and Economic Policy (IFEP) concentration. The course is designed to cover those areas of business finance which are important for all managers, whether they specialize in finance or not. Three fundamental questions will be addressed in this course: How much funding does a firm require to carry out its business plan? How should the firm acquire the necessary funds? Even if the funds are available, is the business plan worthwhile? In considering these questions, the following topics will be covered: analyzing historical uses of funds; formulating and projecting funding needs; analyzing working capital management; choosing among alternative sources of external funding for company operations; identifying costs of funds from various sources; valuing simple securities; evaluating investment opportunities; valuing a company based on its projected free cash flow The course will combine lecture time and in-class case discussions, for which students should prepare fully. The goal of the course is to provide students with an understanding of both sound theoretical principles of finance and the practical environment in which financial decisions are made.
