Territory and Affect

This graduate seminar will examine theories on territory, and their relation to affective constructs regarding social bodies, race, gender, sexuality, and religious acts. We will examine a number of issues related to spatial theory, affect theory, and performance. We will study the constructions of territory, affect, and performances of race and gender as historically and geographically situated phenomena. How are territory and affect racialized or gendered? What can affect theory bring to the geographical imagination, and how do geopolitical fantasies shape imaginaries of distance, nearness, foreignness, and self? We will engage a comparative lens and examine these issues across processes of globalization, migration, cultural production and circulation, and infrastructural changes of cartographic constructs such as East/West, Transpacific, circum-Altantic, and the Global South.

FASHION POLICY AND THE POLITICS OF GOVER

The fashion industry is an ideal case study on how governments, citizens and international institutions attempt to limit the environmental and social impacts of complex consumer industries with global supply chains. Historically, apparel and textiles have been at the center of some of the most consequential government actions under liberal Western democracy, including the abolition of slavery and the passage of the first workplace safety and labor laws in the United States. In recent years, fashion has returned to the center of dynamic policy debates within the sustainability and social impact space.

 

The $2.5 trillion global fashion industry’s social and environmental impacts often evade regulation. Major brands leverage long and opaque supply chains for raw materials and cheap manufacturing costs with very little accountability. Private regulation and voluntary commitments have policed fashion for the better part of four decades, an approach that arguably has ended in failures to protect human and environmental rights. The industry’s lack of accountability has cost lives, including the notorious Rana Plaza building collapse in 2013 where 1,132 garment makers died, and now contributes to a sizable percentage of annual climate change. Profits have been pushed to the top of the supply chain while garment makers consistently toil for poverty wages, and the pollution and environmental degradation of fashion is a burden almost exclusively carried by low-and-middle income nations and communities of color that manufacture clothing and produce raw materials.

 

But the tide is turning. Governments are being asked to step in and regulate the fashion industry. Can effective fashion policies police international supply chains and achieve their intended aims? Might they unleash unintended consequences and in what ways? This course is an introduction to the fast-evolving space of modern environmental and labor policy as it intersects with fashion, and which seeks to incentivize more responsible business behavior in the realm of social, environmental and governance impacts. The class will use recently passed and proposed fashion social and sustainability policies as our case studies, including the New York State Fashion Sustainability and Social Accountability Act; mandatory human rights due diligence in Europe; California’s Garment Worker Protection Act and Congress’s FABRIC Act; the FTC Green Guides and the UK CMA’s Green Claims Code; and Europe&rsquo

CLOWN

In this class, we will build up the actor’s physical and mental muscles via exercises, games, and assignments that rediscover uncensored child-like wonder. We will attempt to relax our brains, open up our hearts and move our bodies with great pleasure together, which will cultivate an intrinsic appetite for an open, vulnerable, generous, ferocious, playful, rigorous, surprising and impulsive presence. This state of flow, hopefully, will be able to find its rightful place in any role and in any medium you pursue.

Most of this semester will be spent on exercises in pursuit of your unique individual clowns as we necessarily soften and shed physical and emotional holds by inviting a sense of play and imagination. These exercises will gradually allow your latent clown-within (i.e. your talent / humanity) to show up in the room. Towards the end of this introductory class, we will encounter the smallest mask on earth – the Red Nose! – which not only doesn't mask, but instead draws attention to and magnifies YOU.

We will invite your generous openness, ferocious abandon, insistent honesty and gleeful mischief to make a larger footprint in your work, so the top layer of the iceberg that is your socially-conditioned selves can slowly melt away. You will sweat. You will make songs. You will listen deeper and harder. You will be engaged and relaxed at the same time. You will release some glorious ha-ha’s and emotional wa-wa’s into the ether. This all will be silly. You will make something disastrous and messy. You will confront fears and conjure bravery. You will make something wonderful and surprising – as you unearth the engine behind all that makes you interesting, that which makes you authentic. What makes you YOU. Your clown – the one and only.

What has it meant in the past to speak in these (or cognate) terms? And if we take the debate in part at least to inhabit a normative discursive space, an argumentative space in which to make claims on the moral-political present, what ought it to mean to talk about a black radical tradition?

Contemporary Archaeological Theory

CONTEMP ARCH THEORY

Archaeology is a sprawling, messy discipline and the role that theory does, should, and might play in the process of archaeological data collection, analysis, and interpretation has been highly contested. Archaeologists argue over whether there is such a thing as a stand-alone ‘archaeological theory’ and what kinds of theory from other disciplines should (or should not!) be imported. This course explores a range of recent theoretical conversations, orientations, and interventions within archaeology, with an eye to understanding what is currently at stake – and what is contested – in how archaeologists think about making archaeological knowledge in the contemporary moment. In doing so, this course encourages students to think about theory in archaeology as an important form of “practical knowledge” or “know how” for archaeologists (cf. Lucas 2018).

HOUSE, HOME, PROJECT

In the past two decades, anthropologists have heeded calls for a "spatial" turn in the social sciences by asking how spatiality relates to social, cultural and political life. This turn is a remarkable given how much the field had treated space as a secondary effect of temporally-based processes of social and cultural change. Yet even if anthropology had neglected an adequate theorization of space, the increasing tractions of disciplinary conversations concerning place, ecology, and infrastructure suggest that human spatiality has long been a significant component of anthropologists’ concerns. In this seminar we explore how various scholars, including anthropological thinkers, have approached human spatiality through discussions of houses, homes and housing-related projects. Our exploration will shed light on several classic and contemporary concerns. For instance: What do built forms reveal about the shape and mechanics of social orders? How do they mediate and/or configure relatedness and what does that relatedness consist of? How can discussions centered on inhabiting place contribute to investigations of quotidian experience? How have interventions into domestic architecture supported political governance? How does one “write” the house? By following accounts of houses, homes and housing-related projects, we will consider varied interrogations of practice and embodiment, memory, materiality and collective well-being.

The Culture of Kyivan Rus'

The culture of Kyivan Rus’ (10th-13th c.) has been violently contested and rewritten for centuries, and debates about its fundamental texts have shaped the ways we study Ukrainian and Russian literatures, Slavic history, and the politics of Soviet and post-Soviet worlds. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022 forced these disciplines to reexamine their own assumptions. This seminar trains students to read critically both the primary sources of Kyivan Rus’ and the histories of their political and scholarly interpretation.

The course is primarily addressed to graduate students with a research focus on Ukraine, Russia, and the post-Soviet political space. Students will be challenged to develop basic hermeneutic skills for reading medieval texts in their specific cultural and historical contexts. All works will be made available in both Old Slavic original and modern English translation, and students are encouraged to read and discuss them in parallel. Graduate students of Russian and Ukrainian literatures who take the course to meet the medieval requirement are expected to pass a final comprehensive exam.

Political Economy of Finance

This course provides an introduction to the political economy of financial and international monetary policy, presenting both theoretical perspectives and more policy-oriented concerns.  The course requires no knowledge of formal economic models, but it does presume familiarity with basic concepts in open economy macroeconomics and finance. Students without this background may find several sections of the course very difficult. The course has three main sections.  The first examines the political economy of the global monetary system.  We begin by surveying the evolution of international monetary arrangements from the gold standard period to the present day.  Then we analyze the difficulties posed by floating rates and capital mobility as well as the global imbalances that have been frequent features of contemporary times.  In addition, we examine the Euro crisis and trace its origins to the establishment of the monetary union.  The second section examines the political economy of financial policy, regulation and central banking.  The role of financial policy in economic development, especially of industry, in developing and emerging market countries is the primary lens for exploring this topic.  The final section considers financial crises, with a special focus on the Asian financial crisis of 1997/98 and 2007/08 global crisis that had its origins in the United States.

THEORIES & DEBATES-AMER POL II

This is the second of two semester-long courses that provide graduate students with an overview of the scholarly study of American politics. G6210 and G6211 constitute the American politics field survey. The field survey is designed for political science doctoral students who intend to specialize in American politics, as well as for those students whose primary interests are comparative politics, international relations, or political theory, but who desire an intensive introduction to the American style of political science. In this course we will cover a range of topics related to American politics that, for the most part, are not covered in G6210. Our focus will be on public opinion and political behavior. The reading assignments are a mix of foundational contributions (i.e. the canons of American politics literature) and recent research. The first part of each seminar session will aim to clarify and probe enduring puzzles, theories, and debates highlighted in the foundational texts. The latter portion of the seminar session will focus on how recent studies contribute to ongoing debates and define the research agenda going forward.

This objective fact that is seen in most developed countries has a major public health implication: How to achieve healthy aging of the general population?  This will be one of the main public health challenges facing our health care system in the 21st century.  To effectively address this challenge requires that the Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, like every leading institution in the country, expand its research effort in the biology of aging.  The long-term goals of this research effort should be to achieve a better understanding of age-related degenerative diseases of all kind, of cancers and as a result to propose novel and adapted therapies for these diseases.  As part of this broad-based effort aiming at strengthening the study of the cellular, molecular and genetic bases of aging, we need to train the next generation of researchers interested in the biology of aging.  The purpose of the graduate course we propose is therefore to expose graduate students to the largely uncharted territory that the biology of aging still is in order to increase the numbers of talented scientists working on the biology of aging. The graduate course we propose will introduce students to invertebrates and vertebrate’s animal models, the cellular and molecular events that occur during aging in various organs, the consequences of the aging process on homeostasis of the entire organism and last but not least, the possible intervention strategies to fight the aging process.

SOCIAL WORK PRACTICE WITH VETERANS

SOCIAL WORK PRACTICE VETE

The purpose of this course is to introduce social work students to the culture, history, policies, programs, and issues that face different generations of the United States military veterans and their families. This course will provide the essential background and knowledge base necessary to assist military veterans and their families through appropriate referrals for social and medical services. The military veteran community will be examined using both micro and macro lenses in order to provide an overarching understanding of the complex matters faced by today’s military veterans, their families, and communities.

Religious, Secular, and Other Temporalit

Reli, Secular & Temporali

Concepts and sensibilities surrounding time, temporality, and history are major aspects of peoples’ “lived everyday metaphysics,” which is to say the myths, concepts, affects, values, rituals, and practices by which we orient ourselves in the world. Religious studies in the broadest sense examines these lived and material metaphysics and their emergence, transmission, and transformation in and through communities of practice. Our work falls into the “zone of inquiry” of “time and history” of the Religion Department’s graduate programs. “Zones of inquiry” seek to introduce students to a particular cluster of key concepts and various theoretical elaborations of those concepts, in order to aid students in honing their ability to reflect critically on and develop further the central concepts that they derive from and bring to the specific traditions and phenomena that they study in their own research. A main goal of this course will therefore be to expand our conceptual resources at the intersection of religious studies and theories of time and history.

This course will explore how time and history, their structures and their relationships to meaning making have been theorized in different traditions at various points in time. We will study how rituals of time, calendars, and chronologies give shape to imaginaries of history and space and how these differences influence the place of religion and religious experience. As a case study of sorts, we will examine the profound changes of metaphysics of time that the rise of capitalism effected in early modern Europe and the continued impact on social imaginaries of secular time, impending apocalyptic times, and possibilities and impossibilities of utopias and redemption.

Not Your Grandparent s Kinship

While kinship as an institutional category of training has had a rocky route over the past several decades, the roles that received and transformed terms of relatedness shape the way people make and brake social relations and political projects enjoy periodical waves of interest. After introductory critical engagement with foundational texts, we will examine current theoretical and methodological issues in the analysis of kinship, relations, and relatedness. We will focus the social processes through which (and projects in which) people define, create, extend, limit, sever or transform their relatedness with others within and over generations. We will ask what is the relationship between the reach of relatedness and the bounds communities and associations; how people distinguish who is or is not their kin, kith, friend, relative, family member, and so forth; when and how they propose to replace one term of relatedness for another, to act “as if” those unrelated are related, or vice versa; what roles substances (blood, water, milk, &c.) play in conveying, expressing, and forging relations. We will focus on the vicissitudes of relatedness through settlement and migration, as well as on the intersections of kinship and political economy.
