Transnational America

TRANSNATIONAL AMERICA

This graduate readings course will grapple with the implications of the so-called “transnational turn” in American hemispheric studies. It takes up the challenge posed by recent work on transnationalism and globalization by training graduate students in the theories and methodologies of a field that is emerging from older models of international and comparative scholarship to more recent approaches that highlight the movement of peoples, commodities, and ideas across borders. Students will encounter an eclectic mix of older and more recent transnational scholarship from fields including: African Diaspora Studies, Borderlands history, commodity chains studies, migration studies, among others. While the course will draw mostly from the discipline of history, it explicitly incorporates scholarship from other disciplines to encourage students to develop interdisciplinary approaches. The ultimate goal of the course is to prompt students to conceptualize the Americas as a broader American interconnected transborder space, rather than a hemisphere of different nation-states.

Statistical Methods for Causal Inference

Stat Mthds for Causal Inf

Substantive questions in empirical scientific and policy research are often causal. This class will introduce students to both statistical theory and practice of causal inference. As theoretical frameworks, we will discuss potential outcomes, causal graphs, randomization and model-based inference, causal mediation, and sufficient component causes. We will cover various methodological tools including randomized experiments, matching, inverse probability weighting, instrumental variable approaches, dynamic causal models, sensitivity analysis, statistical methods for mediation and interaction. We will analyze the strengths and weaknesses of these methods. The course will draw upon examples from social sciences, public health, and other disciplines. The instructor will illustrate application of the approaches using R/SAS/STATA software. Students will be evaluated and will deepen the understanding of the statistical principles underlying the approaches as well as their application in homework assignments, a take home midterm, and final take home practicum.

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.

PDE IN GEOMETRY

Parabolic flows have become a central tool in differential geometry in recent years. One of the main problems is to understand the formation of singularities. In this course, I will give an introduction to the subject, starting with the simplest example of the curve shortening flow in the plane. We will then discuss the main a-priori estimates for mean curvature flow in higher dimensions, such as the convexity estimate, the cylindrical estimate, and the pointwise gradient estimate. Finally, we plan to present recent results concerning singularity formation for fully nonlinear curvature flows.

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.

Architecture, Ornament, and the Renaissa

ARCH. & RENAISSANCE PRINT

This seminar seeks to explore the intersection between architecture and ornament in the era of mechanical reproduction through an investigation into the genre of ornament prints. Utilizing New York collections and a comparative object-based approach, students will scrutinize the complex interchanges between printed architectural images and other types of ornament in the Renaissance. Treatises on the columnar orders, for example, will be studied alongside artist model-books, textile pattern-books, and writing manuals. We will also consider the transmedial movement of two-dimensional ornament across printed and built surfaces as well as the exchange between buildings and different classes of objects.

Strangers in Venice

STRANGERS IN VENICE

In 1556, Francesco Sansovino published his first guidebook of Venice, 
Delle cose notabili che sono in Venezia
, which he articulated as a dialog between a Venetian and a 
forestiero
, a foreign visitor. But what defined the 
forestiero
 in a city such as Renaissance Venice where, as Philippe de Commynes wrote, “
la plupart de leur peuple est estranger” – 
most of the people are foreigners? Sansovino himself was a second-generation immigrant from Central Italy. This seminar will explore the figure of the foreign artist in Renaissance Venice, analyzing short and long journeys—undertaken, for example, by Antonello da Messina, Albrecht Dürer, and El Greco—as well as permanent relocations, such as in the case of Pietro Lombardo, Andrea Schiavone, and L’Aliense. Taking into consideration the specific status of strangers defined by the laws of the Republic of Venice, the social structures of assistance for foreign communities, as well as the organization of workshops and trade, this seminar will investigate the contribution of foreign artists to the artistic production in Renaissance Venice and to the elaboration of the 
maniera veneziana
 (Venetian style).

Spatial Epidemiology

Spatial epidemiology is the study of geographic distributions and determinants of health in populations. The goal of this class is to introduce students to relevant theory and methods, in order to provide the foundational skills required to understand and critically analyze spatial epidemiologic studies. The course emphasizes spatial epidemiology as a sub-discipline of epidemiology while acknowledging the many scientific disciplines that shape it, including biostatistics, cartography, criminology, demography, economics, geography, psychology, and sociology. We begin by defining spatial epidemiology and exploring these multi-disciplinary roots, with particular regard to the theoretical causal mechanisms that provide a bridge between social and physical environmental conditions and population health. We then provide a basic overview of geographic information systems and their utility for descriptive spatial epidemiology—including data visualization and cluster detection—before demonstrating how to incorporate spatial structures within conventional epidemiologic study designs to examine associational and causational relationships between environmental conditions and health outcomes. Class readings describe advances in theory and methods for spatial epidemiology and related disciplines, as well as concrete examples of applications for communicable disease, non-communicable disease, and injury epidemiology. This course is intended for doctoral and 2ndyear MPH students.

HIV PROGRAM MONITORING AND DISEASE SURVE

HIV PRGM MONIT & DIS SURV

Epidemiologic methods are increasingly applied to generate
strategic information
in the context of the global HIV response, including via routine program monitoring and surveillance. Strategic information, in turns, plays a fundamental role in improving the direction and focus of national and local HIV programs. Specifically, routinely
monitoring
outputs and, in some cases, outcomes of HIV programs is critical to ensuring prevention, care and treatment targets are met and high-quality services are delivered.
Surveillance
, through its focus on the occurrence, distribution and trends in HIV infection, risk behaviors and mortality is crucial both to ensuring programs are adapted to and reach those in need and to providing critical data on program outcomes and impacts. This online course introduces students to the concepts and functions of these two components of strategic information, and to special considerations in their application in resource-limited settings. Students will gain practical experience translating concepts into application for actual programs. While the course lectures will approach strategic information through the lens of HIV programs, there will be an opportunity to apply lessons learned to other global health programs.

Optimization for Interventions

Our goal is to help maximize the impact of behavioral and biobehavioral interventions for treatment and prevention.  This course focuses on research study frameworks, designs and approaches to create, optimize and then evaluate these interventions.  Students will learn how to apply engineering-inspired concept of optimization to the study of behavioral, biobehavioral and biomedical interventions across public health fields.  The course will be grounded in the multiphase optimization strategy (MOST) framework.  Under the optimization phase of the MOST framework, the course will introduce experimental designs with an emphasis on sequential, multiple assignment randomized trial (SMART) which is a way to develop high-quality adaptive interventions.   Micro-randomized Trails which are referred to as MRTs, a way to develop mHealth Just-in-Time Adaptive Interventions (JITAIs) also will be covered. Students will understand the fundamentals of these designs, when to apply these designs and start to critically evaluate these designs.  Students will accomplish these goals by examination of recently published optimization studies and will outline their own studies using these designs.

INTRO TO COMPARATIVE MEDIA

Comparative media is an emergent approach intended to draw upon and interrupt canonical ideas in film and media theory. It adopts a comparative approach to media as machines and aesthetic practices by examining contemporary media in relation to the introduction of earlier technologies. The class also extends our focus beyond the U.S. and Europe by examining other cultural locations of media innovation and appropriation. In doing so, it decenters normative assumptions about media and media theory while introducing students to a range of media practices past and present.

This course will argue for a broader spatial history of empire by looking at sites such as "frontiers" and "borderlands" in a theoretical and comparative perspective. From the works of nineteenth century historians such as Frederick Jackson Turner to formulations of spatial perspectives by Foucault, Bauchelard and Lefebvre we will look at specific sites from the American West to Northeast India. Our effort will be to situate borderlands and frontiers not at the margins but t the center of the relationship between power and narrative, between empire and colony. Formulations of race, gender, class will be central to our comparative units of historical analysis and allow us to create conversations across area-studies boundaries within the discipline.

SCI/TECH-LATE IMPER/MOD CHINA

The aim of this graduate course is to provide a broad introduction to science, medicine and technology in late imperial and modern China, and their relationship to the world. The course examines how the understanding and politics of technology, body, the natural world, and medicine undergo drastic reconfiguration from the late imperial period to the modern period. To understand this shift, we will consider questions of technology and imperialism, global circuits and knowledge transfer, the formulation of the modern episteme of “science,” the popularization and wonder of science, as well as commerce, politics and changing regimes of corporeality, in both the imperial and modern periods while placing close attention to the global context and transnational connections. In addition to getting a sense of the existing historiography on Chinese science, we will also be closely examining primary documents, pertinent theoretical writings, and comparative historiography. A central goal of the course is to explore different methodological approaches including history of science, translation studies, material culture, and global history. Reading ability in Classical Chinese and modern Chinese and facility in critical theory are all required.
