This course is designed to explore nontraditional structures for the theater and beyond. We will read plays, stories, theories and watch movies that all utilize and explore nontraditional narrative structures. We will then write our own plays. Through small writing in the beginning of the semester, we will be looking at how story and structure work together to make drama. You will also find structure that excite you and you will write a final play using a structure of your choice. The course will also explore kinds of story, genre, and geometry of story.
Networks help us describe the complex interactions that occur among large populations of distinct
entities. Some have argued that their incorporation into economic models represents a paradigm
change for the ?eld. This course will introduce you to the central questions in current networks
research as well as the tools and methods used to study networks in economic theory. Topics we
will cover include network games and interventions, di?usion processes, network formation, social
learning and opinion dynamics, and networked markets. The course is divided into two halves. The
rst half will consist of lectures on these topics. In the second half, we will read and discuss recent
research papers.

MPA Financial Management I Core.
This course provides a practical introduction to budgeting as a critical tool for planning, decision-making, and leadership across the public, private, and nonprofit sectors. Students will develop hands-on skills in budget creation, financial analysis, and cash flow management while exploring how budgets shape organizational strategy and operations.
This graduate seminar approaches literature as a social practice—a network of relations among writers, editors, institutions, technologies, and readers. Drawing from literary studies, sociology, and anthropology, we trace the life cycle of the literary work: from the writer’s workshop and the archive, through the institutions that publish, circulate, and preserve it, to the interpretive communities and fan cultures that sustain it.
Core readings pair theoretical frameworks (Bourdieu, Becker, Williams) with empirical ethnographies and case studies (Childress, Radway, Jenkins). The course concludes by examining co-authorship and conspiracy as collective forms of storytelling that test the limits of individual authorship and belief.
MPA Financial Management II Core.
This course introduces students to budgeting and financial management in the public sector, with an emphasis on real-world application and analytical skill development. Drawing on current and historical challenges—including the 2008 financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic—students will explore the political, technical, and managerial dimensions of public budgeting in the United States.
Topics include the structure and function of operating and capital budgets, principles of revenue generation, deficit spending, and debt financing. Students will work with actual federal, state, and local budgets, gaining experience in constructing, analyzing, and presenting budgets in a government context. By the end of the course, students will be able to evaluate budget proposals and make data-informed recommendations grounded in public policy goals and financial feasibility.

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.
MPA Financial Management Core II.
This course provides students with a foundational understanding of financial accounting, with an emphasis on interpreting financial statements.

Ruling powers of various shapes and sizes tend to prosecute those people whom they fear because of their identity, class, craft, or convictions. Often, the object of accusation, inquiry, prosecution, and persecution includes not just one (or more) individual persons, but a set of relationships that these ruling powers see as anathema to the social order they seek to establish or maintain, and on which their power depends. Specters can personify residuals of antediluvian political or cosmological order (heretics and witches, officers of toppled regime, Catholics after the reformation, idolatry trials in the new world, mafiosi after their criminalization, Bundists in Soviet Russia) or emergent forms (emancipated Jews, dissidents, or anarchists). All share that role in social dramas that cast them as enemies of The State, The Church, The People, or Humanity. In this seminar we will begin to explore the array of social rituals, routinized practices (like rumors and media-oriented lynching) and institutions that have been developed specifically in order to name such specters and summon them publicly. We will examine, among others: trials, conspiracy theories (as a mode of recounting a presence that is constantly putting the specter back in), investigative committees, inquisitorial tribunals. We will examine how such social rituals and routinized practices and institutions give us unique opportunities to examine what conceptions of society, of relationships good and evil, and of justice underlie political orders, how they codify and pursue them, and what historical processes these enactments trigger or shape. We’ll focus on cases from early modern and modern societies, with an eye towards the emergence and stabilization of republican order.

This proseminar, which meets alternate weeks for the full academic year, is required for third-year PhD students in the Department of English and Comparative Literature. The seminar will help you prepare for orals, develop your dissertation ideas, expand your research skills, produce articles for publication, and generally extend your professional skills. While we will read some practical “how to” literature and models, the focus will be on writing, workshopping material, and discussing process (time-management, organization, etc). Both out-of-class assignments and in-class writing exercises should serve to extend your ideas—or shake them loose—and bring you closer to a dissertation that represents your vision, makes others want to read your work, and reminds you why you care. By the end of the year, you will have a polished dissertation prospectus and should have submitted at least one article for publication (or have one close-to-ready for submission). Above all, the seminar offers a supportive community, an opportunity to try out ideas (cooked or still raw), and encouragement from your fellow scholar-writer-thinkers as you progress toward your orals and dissertation.

It might be an exaggeration to say that religion begins with mothers. More accurate, perhaps, would be the suggestion that birth being paradigmatic of all origins and beginnings, all creation stories, mothers might serve as the ultimate metaphorical resource to think religion (and a few other things). And then there is of course the Great Mother, the matriarchal origins of the divine, as well as the contested matriarchy at the origins of human society. We will consider as many mothers as we can, beginning with specific mothers, mothers like Eve and Hagar, and “Mother India” too. We will attend to Mary, Mother of God, and we will consider matricide and maternal infanticide too. We will learn about the “mother tongue” and African matriarchy. Throughout we will explore the mother and the maternal as religious and theoretical questions — with a little help from psychoanalysis’ mothers.
