Visual Storytelling
Taught by PBS NewsHour Weekend producer/correspondent Christopher Booker, Multi-Platform Storytelling will teach students some of the tricks, turns and pitfalls of the 21st digital story. With an emphasis on video storytelling, the course will be dedicated largely to technical production of videos and interactive content, but will also be an exploration into some of the current thinking behind editorial video development, production and distribution. Students will use photographs, audio, video and data to tell compelling stories and create comprehensive outreach strategies, but will also be asked to contemplate, as well as justify, the usage, delivery and goal of their work. Students will work with digital cameras, Adobe Premiere, smartphones, Timeline JS and Google Fusion Tables.

Storytelling for Social Change: Skills a
INSTRUCTOR: N. Jamiyla Chisholm. The person who tells the story can shape the narrative and have power. Politicians have traditionally practiced narrative-building — by telling stories that draw people in, sharing examples from the lives of real people they’ve encountered, and using emotive language — as a way to control or manage their image, message, and the events that created their personal history. They use story and narrative to create public policy and recently created story and narrative around the pandemic to push political agendas further to the left or right. And it's not just politicians who depend on storytelling. Activist organizations, such as the Movement 4 Black Lives, increased visibility for their messages by participating in interviews, writing op-eds, and proposing legislative policy to galvanize the public in support of social and racial justice. This led to a reexamination of the concept of systemic racism, white supremacy and fragility, inside and outside of academic circles, to create more realistic understandings of the U.S.’s imbalanced economic, educational, and healthcare systems. And within pop culture and sports, the debate over mental health and who deserves it has forced some to consider the topic for the first time. Storytelling is a communicative, educational, and entertaining device that is required in most fields, such as policy making, NGO and non-profit work, broadcast and print journalism, theater and film, books and podcasts, litigations and court cases, and more. This course will explore various modes of storytelling that create successful narrative change to give students the skills needed to excel in any industry. We will read essays, speeches, and a book. We will listen to podcasts, review news specials, and articles, all with a journalistic eye that critically examines who is telling the story; which voices are represented and left out; the message and the audience; and if the narrative could have been better told using a different storytelling device. We will examine if the storytelling succeeds in its goal to recreate a similar successful campaign that can translate to writing for newspapers, magazines, and new sites, or for writing opinion pieces; speeches and marketing materials; political and justice campaigns or guides; project proposals, white papers, or reports for work and the public; discussion guides; and more.

Building & Scaling Social Impact Program
Building & Scaling Soc. Impact
The concept of “social impact” has captured the imaginations of many professionals eager to make their mark on the world and give back to society. But what exactly is social impact, and what is its role in today’s public policy and social justice landscape? Many companies, nonprofits, and entrepreneurs are making big bets on how they can “do well by doing good” by leveraging their brands, products, resources, and capital to make the world a better place – all the while paying attention to the bottom line and creating value for donors, shareholders, and businesses. But there are important and consequential considerations about this “win/win” approach, and what role the private sector can and should play in ensuring political, social, and economic equality. The course will take a practical, case-based approach to looking at social impact programs, and we will: Examine business-led models of giving, including corporate social responsibility, cause marketing, social entrepreneurship, and impact investing; Assess how corporate social impact programs and market-based solutions have created innovative interventions to complex social issues; Consider the tradeoffs and unintended consequences that can occur when resource allocations for social impact programs consider business interests; Identify strategies to successfully design and implement social impact initiatives with an individual or business. The case-based analysis in the first part of the course will inform sessions that focus on how to design, implement, and scale effective social impact programs, with specific attention on how to conduct a landscape assessment on a specific issue, identify potential solutions and interventions given available resources, program design and implementation, and impact assessment.

Scale Up Ventures: Growing a Business Ou
Scaleup Ventures
This course will focus on the tools required to scale a business, nonprofit or social enterprise. Scale-ups are firms that grow big and fast and transform people, industries, regions, and countries, yet they are not as popular as their close cousins, the Start-ups. Going from zero clients to one is a big challenge, yet growing from one client to a hundred or from one employee to many is much harder. In particular, the course will ask you to look at the world of scaleups from three different and unique perspectives: First, the bottom-up approach, where you will need to think like an entrepreneur. How do you achieve scale by leading the attraction and retention of talent, capital, and customers? Second, the top-down approach, where you will need to think like a policy maker. Which policies are effective to help scaleups attract top talent, capital, and more customers? Are there policies that help startups but actually hurt scaleups? And third, you need to think like a global citizen: What are the differences in managing a rapidly growing firm (in terms of risk and rewards) based in New York versus one based in Istanbul or Mexico City?

Storytelling and The Art of Creating Soc
Storytelling and Social Impact
After countless videos of police brutality, why did the video of George Floyd’s murder dramatically accelerate the pace of cultural and policy change that had been demanded by Black Lives Matter since 2013? How did the Covid-19 pandemic impact this and other campaigns? After years of governmental and NGO campaigns to reduce teen pregnancy, how was it that a TV show became one of the main drivers of reducing teen pregnancy to the lowest point in recorded history? After losing 31 state referendums, why did a new narrative approach enable the gay marriage campaign start winning nationwide? These examples are part of broader social impact campaigns that combined the right mix of strategy and narrative to create change. A social impact campaign is one that creates a significant, positive change that addresses a pressing social issue. Often, there is too little focus on the power of narrative to change behavior and drive action. This class will explore all aspects of social impact campaigns that harnessed the power of “effective” stories to engage audiences and prompt action. Additionally, we will investigate how corporations and brands develop campaigns and how they partner with the government, foundations and NGOs. Students will have the chance to question some of the leading creators/practitioners as they create their own social impact campaign.

Impact Investing: Essential Skills
Impact investing is young but fast-growing industry. An increasing number of philanthropists, traditional investors, and asset managers look to impact investment as a compelling asset class. Entrepreneurs tackling social and environmental issues are finding in impact investors a more reliable and better-aligned source of capital to finance their ventures. The industry requires a committed, talented, and well-prepared pool of capital to continue evolving and growing. This class aims to provide the students with some of the essential skills and tools they will require to work and thrive in the impact investing industry. This is an experiential course designed to introduce students to impact investing and provide them with the skills used by impact investors every day. Students will work on the key "products" required in an impact investment transaction, including: assessing a possible impact investment; writing an investment memo with a full impact analysis, and presenting an investment proposal to a group of seasoned impact investors. **THIS COURSE MEETS ONLINE VIA ZOOM SAT 10/9 FROM 9-11am EST, THEN IN-PERSON FRIDAY 10/15 FROM 3-6pm EST, SATURDAY 10/16 FROM 9am-2pm EST, AND SUNDAY 10/17 FROM 12-3pm EST

Civic Innovation & Building a People-Cen
Civic Innov/People-Center Govt
Governments around the world are tasked with delivering services to millions of citizens using a range of technologies and initiatives. They constantly assess their impact and find new ways to better serve the public and to provide service more efficiently and effectively. This course provides a look at innovative efforts underway, and an analytical framework for developing new approaches to serving people. Invention is part of innovation, of course. But innovation has another meaning. It is also a process-a process of improving, adapting, or developing a product, system, or service in order to deliver better results and create value for people. It is this second meaning of innovation that applies most acutely to government. While entrepreneurs may tinker with new products and ideas, government has a unique ability to take new ideas, adapt them to the needs of the public, and apply them at scale. This course explores what innovation actually means in government, what it looks like, and how it happens. It is focused on understanding how the same methodology that firms use to design and build revolutionary products can be (and is being) applied in government to design more effective policies, programs, and services. The goal of this course is to prepare students for working creatively in a policy environment, and finding new solutions to complex human problems, in a manner that prioritizes people over politics and bureaucracy. To this end, the course takes a blended and hands-on approach to learning, combining reading and lectures with design studios, and guest speakers who will provide a firsthand narrative of their experience with innovation in government. Guest speakers will include people who have been able to develop and implement new systems within government such as rescuing healthcare.gov and modernizing our immigration system.

Humanitarian Crisis Simulation
This short course is designed to enable participating students to weigh and apply humanitarian principles, concepts, best practices, and minimum standards to a simulated humanitarian emergency. The simulation exercise challenges student participants with issues and dilemmas confronting humanitarian practitioners face when responding to a complex emergency, and inspires them to work within the humanitarian system and architecture to solve problems in creative ways. In their roles as staff of humanitarian response agencies charged with responding to a large-scale crisis, student participants will analyze a dynamic stream of assessment data, prioritize key humanitarian needs, and make critical decisions about the appropriate type and scale of needed interventions. Participants will also be introduced to the importance and mechanisms of international humanitarian coordination in assembling the response. The simulation will include a day-long exercise followed by a day of debriefing, analysis, and identification of key challenges and lessons. The Humanitarian Crisis Simulation focuses on humanitarian operations from the perspective of humanitarian assistance agencies operating in the field. The course should likely, therefore, be of interest to those wishing to work with humanitarian agencies responsible for planning and conducting responses to vulnerable populations affected by disaster, or to those who want to better understand the humanitarian assistance system and the challenges confronting humanitarian decision-makers.

RUSSIAN ORTHODOX CULTURE
From Prince Valdimir’s Rus’ to the Post-Soviet Russia of Vladimir Putin, religion has remained a key factor in the making and remaking of Russian polity and culture. This course will explore how Orthodox Christianity—whether privileged or persecuted—came to dominate the Russian religious scene and shape Russian institutions, discourses, and lived experiences. Students will draw from a variety of primary and secondary sources—chronicles, saints’ lives, travel narratives, memoirs, letters, legal documents, icons and other ritual objects, films and fictional texts, as well as a large body of scholarly works and contemporary media materials—to examine how Russia’s Orthodox past and its rewriting into competing “histories” have been used over time as “legacies” shaping the present and the future.

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.
