Strategic and Entrepreneurial Management
Strategic & Entrepren Mgt
This course will provide the analytical ability and practical skills to build the right strategy, entrepreneurial operations and culture for both for-profit and non-profit organizations. The methodology of this class is to learn from case studies, leading management texts and insights from practitioners. Students will learn to recognize and develop entrepreneurial skills by examining and analyzing the strategies employed by practicing entrepreneurs in building new ventures. Particular attention is given to the criteria used in analyzing the strategies of international and non-profit new venture ideas. Further focus on strategy, managing people and organizational culture will be emphasized. Each student is required to develop an entrepreneurial venture focused on a social/non-profit, emerging market or private sector opportunity.

Academic Writing for Classicists
Academic Writing in Class
In this class, students will develop their skills at academic writing in the field of Classics, as well as their skills at critically reading the work of others. Of particular focus will be articles for academic journals, abstracts for conferences, and the fundamental principles that underlie all scholarly writing in our discipline. As the class is aimed at MA and PhD students in Classics, it is expected that students will have a moderately broad working knowledge of the field of Classics (post-bacs in Classics and graduate students from related disciplines are welcome). Junior or senior undergraduates who have taken the major seminar (or are of equivalent standing at Barnard) are welcome with instructor permission.

Sustainability Management
Sustainability management matters because we only have one planet, and we must learn how to manage our organizations in a way that ensures that our planet is maintained. The course is designed to introduce you to the field of sustainability management. This is not an academic course that reviews the literature of the field and discusses how scholars think about the management of organizations that are environmentally sound. It is a practical, professional course organized around the core concepts of management and the core concepts of sustainability. This year I am introducing a specific emphasis on urban sustainability as the planet’s urban population continues to expand. Each week we will read one or two cases in management and/or sustainability, and some background material designed to help you answer the questions posed at the end of each case exercise. The cases always pose practical issues for decision makers to address—but issues that are best addressed with a firm grounding in the literature of management and sustainability. The literature and case material we will study this semester are based on lessons learned in government, non-profits and the private sector. However, most of my own work focuses on government and non-profits so this course will emphasize management in public and nonprofit organizations and the role of public policy in sustainability. In this course you will be assigned to one team that will present a briefing in class on an assigned position for a particular case, for which another team will present an opposing view. You will also write three two-page memos according to a specified format. The syllabus includes a schedule for each assignment. There is also a take home final exam that is due the last day of class.

Cost-Benefit Analysis
Prerequisites: SIPA U6300 or SIPA U6400 This course aims to provide an introduction to cost-benefit analysis and the economic evaluation of government or development programs, projects and policies. The course consists of two parts: theory/methodology in the first half of the semester and application of the learned concepts through an analysis of various case studies in the second half. Case studies will cover the full range of possible applications of CBA -from early education, social policy, health, urban planning, transportation and energy to environmental regulations. Case studies will cover both the US and developing country contexts. In the second half of the semester students will be expected to apply what they have learned by carrying out a cost-benefit analysis on a topic of their choice. The project is expected to include all components of a professional CBA - description of policy or program scenarios to be evaluated, compilation and monetization of the main costs and benefits, development of an Excel model including discounting and sensitivity analysis.

Leading & Managing in Moments of Adversi
This course will provide the analytical ability and practical skills to lead and manage in moments of adversity and opportunity. The frameworks and strategies apply across the sectors from change-makers to start-ups, teams to companies, not-for-profit to government. The focus is on the leadership and management needed at key high stakes moments: turn arounds, pressures from competition or innovation in the market, pivots, pervasive and recurrent challenges, large scale social change, reform processes… The methodology of this class relies on the case method using two types of cases: individual student professional leadership cases and business case studies. It also draws on readings, structured exercises, videos and role-plays. The learning is experiential – we will be using ourselves as cases and the class as a space to practice and develop our diagnostic, communication, management and leadership skills. All students will be called on to participate in weekly class discussions and must come to class prepared. The course views the analysis of failure as a meaningful way to learn. Students will be asked to identify a professional leadership failure and present it in the small groups and write their final paper analyzing it. Some students will have the opportunity to share their case with the class and receive further feedback on their analysis.

International Trade
Prerequisites: SIPA U6400 The course has two dimensions: theory and policy. In the former, the fundamental models of international trade theory will be presented. Using these models we will try to understand why countries specialize and trade, what determines the pattern of trade (i.e. which country will export which good), and how trade affects relative prices, welfare, and income distribution within a country. The second part of the course deals with issues concerning trade policy. We will compare the effects of and rationale behind the usage of various policy instruments such as tariffs, subsidies, quotas, etc. The political economy of trade policy and trade policy in developing countries will also be covered. Additional topics may be included at a later stage if time permits.

Mastering Leadership in Big Moments of C
Mastering Leadership in Change
When you take on a leadership role you face the challenge of leading into the unknown. There is an uncertain new situation to manage, people to lead, and your own doubts and perceived limits to overcome. Where do you begin? How do you create a path for others, when you are outside your own comfort zone? What does it mean to lead successfully? In this practical and social science-informed course, you will learn how to lead in big moments of change by developing your skills in three areas: developing self awareness (“You”), communicating a path forward (“It”), and building great teamwork (“We”).

International Finance & Monetary Theory
Intl Finance & Monetary Theory
Prerequisites: SIPA U6401 Registration restricted to IFEP students This is a methods course meant to provide students with the analytic tools necessary to think through real life international economic policy situations. The class is primarily meant for those interested in working at international financial institutions, the foreign-service, Wall Street, or the financial press. Lectures will, in part, be fairly rigorous though, if the student has taken first year economics, knows basic algebra, and (most importantly) can navigate graphs, he/she will be able to handle the material fairly easily. While theory will at times dominate, its policy relevance will be illustrated through i) l0-minute discussions at the beginning of every class on topical issues; ii) continuous references to recent economic/market episodes meant to illustrate the theoretical material; iii) reading short pieces of Wall Street research that cover timely market topics; and iv) the term paper that will be graded on how well theory and policy are integrated. In terms of topics, the first half of the semester will develop an analytic framework that thinks though the concept of the exchange rate in terms of its (short and long term) determinants as well as the interaction between the exchange rate and macro variables such as growth, inflation, and monetary policy. The second half of the semester we will investigate individual themes including exchange rate regimes; BoP crises and contagion; global imbalances and the savings glut; the role of FX in inflation targeting regimes; and capital markets and emerging markets finance.

French Lecture Series
Course Description
Students curate, organize and attend a series of lectures open to all members of the French department, including graduate students, faculty and undergraduate majors/concentrators. Working with a faculty member, they invite two speakers each semester, collaborate on the scheduling and organization of talks, introduce guests and lead the discussion. The lecture series exposes graduate students to new work in the field, including new methodologies and emerging areas of research and teaching. By giving students the opportunity to select speakers, it actively engages them in the cultural and intellectual life of the department. Students benefit from observing the different possible formats and styles of academic talks. By organizing and scheduling events, preparing speaker introductions and moderating questions and discussion, they also develop important professional skills.

COLONIALISM
The seminar on Colonialism examines questions of political economy and
politics through the study of colonial regimes of power and knowledge. It has
a particular focus on the genealogy of the business corporation, a colonial
form of power that became central to the modern world but often escapes the
attention of critical political theory. The readings cover the Middle East,
South Asia, and Africa, across the period from the seventeenth to the early
twentieth century. The seminar is intended primarily for Ph.D. students
interested in interdisciplinary approaches to the study of politics,
political economy, and colonial history. For course requirements and other
information, see CourseWorks.
