DECISION MODELS & MANAGEMENT

This course provides an introduction to computer-based models for decision-making.  The emphasis is on models that are widely used in diverse industries and functional areas, including finance, accounting, operations, and marketing.  Applications will include advertising planning, revenue management, asset-liability management, environmental policy modeling, portfolio optimization, and corporate risk management, among others. The applicability and usage of computer-based models have increased dramatically in recent years, due to the extraordinary improvements in computer, information and communication technologies, including not just hardware but also model-solution techniques and user interfaces.  Twenty years ago working with a model meant using an expensive mainframe computer, learning a complex programming language, and struggling to compile data by hand; the entire process was clearly marked “experts only.”  The rise of personal computers, friendly interfaces (such as spreadsheets), and large databases has made modeling far more accessible to managers.  Information has come to be recognized as a critical resource, and models play a key role in deploying this resource, in organizing and structuring information so that it can be used productively.

GHG EMISSIONS: MEASURING AND MINIMIZING

GHG EMISSIONS CARBON FOOT

Environmental, social and governance issues (‘ESG’) are moving to center stage for corporate boards and executive teams.  This elective course complements management and operations courses by focusing on the perspective and roles of the board and C-suite of corporations, financial institutions and professional firms in addressing ESG risks as well as promoting and overseeing governance aligned with ESG principles. The course focuses on the interchange between the external legal, competitive, societal, environmental and policy ‘ecosystems’ corporations face (which vary around the world) and a company’s internal structure, operations and pressures. We will use the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the UN Global Compact Principles (which incorporate all aspects of ESG) as the central frameworks to explore the concept of a corporation’s responsibility to respect and remedy human rights and environmental harms.  We will also examine the Equator Principles and other frameworks that spell out good practices for project finance and other investment decisions, and reference a wide range of the myriad indices, supplier disclosure portals and benchmarks that exist in this inter-disciplinary field.  Relevant regulations, corporate law regimes and court cases will be discussed from the point of view of what business managers need to know. While most of the course will deal with companies and firms serving global, regional or national markets, several examples will deal with the question of how the ESG ecosystem affects or offers opportunities to start-ups.

NATURAL LANG PROCESSING SOCIAL SCIENCES

Social scientists need to engage with natural language processing (NLP) approaches that are found in computer science, engineering, AI, tech and in industry. This course will provide an overview of natural language processing as it is applied in a number of domains. The goal is to gain familiarity with a number of critical topics and techniques that use text as data, and then to see how those NLP techniques can be used to produce social science research and insights. This course will be hands-on, with several large-scale exercises. The course will start with an introduction to Python and associated key NLP packages and github. The course will then cover topics like language modeling; part of speech tagging; parsing; information extraction; tokenizing; topic modeling; machine translation; sentiment analysis; summarization; supervised machine learning; and hidden Markov models. Prerequisites are basic probability and statistics, basic linear algebra and calculus. The course will use Python, and so if students have programmed in at least one software language, that will make it easier to keep up with the course.

MACHINE LEARNING SOC SCI

Prerequisites: basic probability and statistics, basic linear algebra, and calculus This course will provide a comprehensive overview of machine learning as it is applied in a number of domains. Comparisons and contrasts will be drawn between this machine learning approach and more traditional regression-based approaches used in the social sciences. Emphasis will also be placed on opportunities to synthesize these two approaches. The course will start with an introduction to Python, the scikit-learn package and GitHub. After that, there will be some discussion of data exploration, visualization in matplotlib, preprocessing, feature engineering, variable imputation, and feature selection. Supervised learning methods will be considered, including OLS models, linear models for classification, support vector machines, decision trees and random forests, and gradient boosting. Calibration, model evaluation and strategies for dealing with imbalanced datasets, n on-negative matrix factorization, and outlier detection will be considered next. This will be followed by unsupervised techniques: PCA, discriminant analysis, manifold learning, clustering, mixture models, cluster evaluation. Lastly, we will consider neural networks, convolutional neural networks for image classification and recurrent neural networks. This course will primarily us Python. Previous programming experience will be helpful but not requisite. Prerequisites: basic probability and statistics, basic linear algebra, and calculus.

Listening After the Interview: Oral Hist

Oral history practitioners understand the critical importance of attentive and active listening during the interview. Even after the recording has ended, listening to the interview is equally vital: in transcribing, archiving, interpreting, curating, and presenting. Thus, this course takes listening to be central to modes of inquiry and amplification, and the oral history interview as both an object to be queried and subject that queries. We will reflect upon how oral histories serve as both primary and secondary sources, and challenge historical inquiry even while uniquely enabling new insights into the past. To do so, the distinguishing features of oral histories--as document, text, medium, dialogue, and publication--will serve as the thematic framework for our reading of key practitioner theorists alongside applied listening to sample oral histories. Drawing on the instructor’s experiences in directing oral history-based public history initiatives, throughout the course we will consider the public life of oral histories beyond the interview--as archive, publication, podcast, and exhibition. In so doing, we will look to understand the role of oral historians as both documentarians and co-creators with their narrators of historical knowledge about the past and present.

Serious Play: Oral History and the Art o

OH and the Art of Story

In this workshop, OHMA students will deepen their exploration of core tensions in the practice of oral history through the creation of narrative art in a range of genres and forms, including writing and performance. We ask of each form: What lines are marked by conventions of genre, and how do those compare to lines drawn by the ethics of oral history? How can we draw on narrative and performance in our own creative and scholarly contributions to oral history?   This class will be a space for experimentation and serious play, where students will discuss questions raised by the work of others, and grapple with those questions by making their own creative work. Pedagogically, we will simultaneously explore two areas of creation: oral history on the page, and oral history in performance. Students will make new work and engage in discussion about existing work. Class time will be spent discussing texts, workshopping students’ creative projects, and participating in activities designed to prompt collaboration and engineered to inspire new work. Over the course of the semester students will write, perform, and create prompts inspired by oral history.

MANAGING THE ENTERTMNT TECH MULTIVERSE

The idea of a “multiverse” is derived from Big Bang and Black Hole cosmology. It posits an infinite set of alternative universes in the space/time continuum — in other words, what we identify as reality. Scientific theory aside, this is precisely what has occurred in the entertainment sphere as a result of advances in entertainment technology. We see how technology has obfuscated the demarcation and delineation lines between entertainment media. Rather than perceiving this as a problem or challenge, this course approaches such an evolution from the point-of-view of infinite possibilities. The breadth of content covered in this course ranges from Creative Commons licenses to the various interactive entertainment development technology platforms used to create games, virtual worlds, social media arenas, and cross-disciplinary initiatives as diverse as online gaming, media, branding, enterprise, government, military, and educational solutions.

WRITING ABOUT GLOBAL SCIENCE FOR INTERNA

WRITING-GLOBAL SCI-INTL M

This is an interdisciplinary workshop for scientists, future NGO workers and journalists seeking skills in communicating 21st-century global science to the public. Scientists will be given journalism skills; journalists will learn how to use science as the basis of their story-telling. The course is designed to give students exercises and real-world experiences in producing feature stories on global science topics. While most scientists and international affairs professionals have been trained to write in the style of peer-reviewed journals, we will focus on journalism techniques, learning how to translate global science into accessible true stories that reach wide audiences. Science is performed by passionate individuals who use their intelligence and determination to seek answers from nature. By telling their histories and uncovering the drama of discovery, we believe that there are ways for science to be successfully communicated to readers who might otherwise fear it.
