NEWS AND VIEWS

This German-language course for students on the Advanced proficiency level will offer students the opportunity to improve their comprehension of German media language through viewing, reading, writing and digital film production. Course materials will be drawn from German-language periodicals, newspapers, TV newscasts, TV documentaries and features digitally available. Students will hone their media competence by analyzing the material at hand and write, film and edit their own digital newscasts and documentaries in German. Through this process students will acquire the media literacy needed to understand cultural differences in media production and presentation and how to successfully communicate and convey messages in a digital format. Finally, students will familiarize themselves with the technical aspects of filming and will learn how to edit digital material. The cultural aspect of the course will give students greater insight into current issues and discourses in German-speaking countries and in the U.S. In the final project students apply their skills and findings, after conducting research in German and working with German, Austrian and Swiss cultural institutions, newspapers, companies, cultural centers located in New York. At the end of the semester, students will create and write their own German-language documentary film, edit the documentary and present it to the class and other students of German.

WALKING

Prerequisites: No prerequisites. Department approval NOT required. As Walter Benjamin notes in The Arcades Project: Basic to flanerie, among other things, is the idea that the fruits of idleness are more precious than the fruits of labor. The flaneur, as is well known, makes studies. This course will encourage you to make studies -- poems, essays, stories, or multimedia pieces -- based on your walks. We will read depictions of walking from multiple disciplines, including philosophy, poetry, history, religion, visual art, and urban planning. Occasionally we will walk together. An important point of the course is to develop mobile forms of writing. How can writing emerge from, and document, a walks encounters, observations, and reflections? What advantages does mobility bring to our work? Each week you will write a short piece (1-3 pages) that engages your walks while responding to close readings of the assigned material.

Architecture and Deception

Fittingly in the age of fake news, this seminar addresses how lying, deception, concealment, and forgery have shaped the history of architecture and its historiography. It deals not only with architects’ lies, but also with how their architecture can be deceptive in many different ways. It also analyses how architectural narratives—including biographies—and historical accounts have been shaped by falsehoods and distortions. While addressing philosophical issues that remain relevant to our present, the course will examine some of the most influential architects and key works of the Seventeenth and Eighteenth century—a pivotal time within intellectual history for the definition of the concept of ‘truth’ and also, therefore, of its opposite.  Students will learn how to make use of the many lenses through which architecture can be investigated. The goal is not only to acquire a foundation in European architectural history, but also, more broadly, to develop the skills necessary to analyze architecture and to deal with original architectural objects and texts, as well as to cultivate a critical attitude towards architectural literature.

Prose Poem or Poetic Prose? Defining a

“Prose poem,” “lyrical prose,” “poetry in prose,” “poetic prose,” etc.  Just what do we mean by any of these terms?  What is it to write poetry without the techniques of enjambment and stanza?  What is it to write “in prose” without a linear commitment to narrative?  In short, what is that (perhaps) inexplicable place between verse (whether free or not) and fiction (whether linear in narrative or nonlinear)?  This course will take a close look at literary works that live in the borderlands between verse and fiction.  Through a close analysis of works by Arthur Rimbaud, Gertrude Stein, Claudia Rankine, Italo Calvino, Margaret Atwood, James Wright, Franz Kafka, Lydia Davis, and others, students will develop their own creative approaches to this elusive literary “genre.” Each week, we will study the work of one writer, and students will submit a one-page analytical response to that work.  Our class discussions will focus on narrative tensions; prosodic techniques; imagery; diction; syntax; and historical, social, and political context. There will be a midterm paper (5-7 pages, double spaced) and a final paper (10 pages, double spaced).  At the end of the semester, students will also submit a Portfolio of three creative pieces composed during the semester.  We will have three in-class workshops to discuss those creative pieces.  REQUIRED TEXTS: Arthur Rimbaud,

POST-1945 BRITISH AND IRISH LITERATURE

This introductory course charts a literary map of British and Irish writing since 1945. Covering a broad range of contemporary fiction, poetry, and dramatic prose, this course examines how writers in England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, and Northern Ireland responded to, and helped shape, the cultural and literary landscape during a period of great political upheaval and cultural change. After the Second World War, large parts of Britain and Ireland were either bleak or bombed-out, simultaneously scarred by war or poverty and poised for reinvention. From decolonization to the rise and fall of the welfare state in Britain to the growing conflict and militarization in Northern Ireland, the second half of the twentieth century ushered in an era of profound social and literary transformation. In Britain, postwar reconstruction became a total cultural project, one that animated and attracted writers from the Caribbean, Africa, and South Asia as well as Britain, expanding our notions of what might constitute a national literary tradition. In Ireland, such transformations took on a different shape and timeline, as writers pushed against religious norms and censorship, exulted in, then critiqued, the economic boom known as the Celtic Tiger, and worked within and against a rich tradition of modernism and literary invention. In our readings each week, we will explore how writers engaged with both
place
and
voice
in order to understand the interconnectedness between and among literary expression, the locations of cultural production, and course themes. To do this, we will read both canonical and non-canonical works from Zadie Smith, Kazuo Ishiguro, Colm Tóibín, Edna O’Brien, Hanif Kureishi, Dylan Thomas, Samuel Beckett, Sam Selvon, and Jean Rhys, among others. Through close reading and comparative analysis, we will read in order to deepen our understanding of how these writers made significant contributions to not just national and regional traditions but, more broadly, to literature as a whole.

Hauntings: Ghosts, Presences & Residues

Hauntings: Ghosts in Lit

“I believe
—
I know that ghosts
have
wandered the earth. Be with me always
—
take any form
—
drive me mad!”

 
—Emily Brontë
, Wuthering Heights
  In this course we’ll expand our understanding of how writing is often the site of lingering, numinous, immaterial presences. We’ll begin with the tradition of
the ghost story
— a literary device beloved by writers for centuries across many genres. Beyond the consideration of the supernatural, we’ll also investigate more abstract capacities in which texts—and writers (and sometimes editors!)—are inevitably possessed by an
other
, a presence that lingers persistently, making itself known whether we welcome it or not. Memory and trauma are their own kinds of ghosts. Similarly, we’ll discover how traces of works by writers we admire, our teachers, even a specific text or image, can manifest as spectral forms inhabiting our work. We’ll address the complexities of those vestiges in terms of appropriation and originality—what Harold Bloom calls “the anxiety of influence.” Students will process and explore these ideas in both creative and analytical writings throughout the semester.

NEUROGENETICS

Prerequisites: (BIOL UN2005 and BIOL UN2006) This course provides an introduction to Neurogenetics, which studies the role of genetics in the development and function of the nervous system (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurogenetics). The course will be focused on teaching classic and contemporary concepts in genetics and neuroscience, rather than cataloguing mere facts. The course will emphasize the discovery processes, historical figures involved in these processes and methodologies of discovery. Primary research papers will be discussed in detail. A central organizational theme of the course is the presence of a common thread and narrative throughout the course. The common thread is an invertebrate model system, the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans, which serves as a paradigm to show how simple genetic model systems have informed our view on the genetics of nervous system development and function. The ultimate goal of this course is to gain an understanding of the underlying principles of how the nervous system of one specific animal species forms, from beginning to end. The course is intended for neuroscience-inclined students (e.g. neuroscience majors) who want to learn about how genetic approaches have informed our understanding of brain development and function and, vice versa, for students with an interest in molecular biology and genetics, who want to learn about key problems in neuroscience and how genetic approaches can address them.

ECON OF THE PUBLIC SECTOR

Prerequisites: (ECON BC3035 or ECON UN3211) The purpose of the course is to think about public policy issues through an economic lens. We will explore the basic economic foundations of individual decision-making and discuss the ways in which economists hypothesize that individuals respond to the incentives embedded within public policies. We will pay particular attention to the nature and detail of existing public policies, and use economic analysis to predict how these policies might influence behavior. We will also explore some of the relevant empirical literature on a set of policy topics, to see how these predictions hold up.

This course focuses on a central question: how do we define “African-American music”? In attempting to answer this question, we will be thinking through concepts such as authenticity, representation, recognition, cultural ownership, appropriation, and origin(s). These concepts have structured the ways in which critics, musicians and audiences have addressed the various social, political and aesthetic contexts in which African-American music has been composed (produced), performed (re-produced) and heard (consumed).

Interest Group Politics in the United St

INTEREST GRP POLITICS IN

This course explores the contours, causes, and consequences of interest group politics in the U.S. Organized groups are central to politics: They structure, shape, and define a wide-range of political processes and conflicts. They coordinate and encourage collective action among their supporters, serve as intermediaries between those supporters and policymakers in government, mobilize individuals to actively participate in politics in advancement of their shared interests, and provide policymakers with information about complicated issues. However, despite their role in making democracy work, interest groups are also sources of democratic problems (not to mention the scorn of both politicians and the public): There are serious biases when it comes to which interests in society have organized representation and—even among interests that do have representation—there are serious disparities in the resources they bring to bear on politics. As a result, interest groups can contribute to inequality and uneven political representation. This course unpacks the promise and perils of interest group politics by examining a number of questions: What are interest groups? What do they do? Who do they represent? How have they changed over time? How do they attempt to advance their agenda? How do they build and exercise power? How do they shape important political outcomes, including elections and policymaking? By the end of the course, students should be able to systematically assess how contemporary interest group politics function and have in-depth knowledge of their effects on American democracy.

COMPLICATING CLASS: EDUCATION AND THE L

EDUCATION & LIMITS EQUITY

In this course, we start from the premise that a failure to understand what social class is and how social class matters in daily life stops us from having conversations about the possibilities and limitations of schooling and, as such, prevents us from doing what we can to improve the schooling experiences of poor and working-class students. Throughout the semester, we will work to “complicate class”, reconsidering what class is, why class matters, and how we can best think about the relationship between social class and schooling. You will develop a language for talking about class, considering the affordances and constraints of various conceptions of class. You will also leave with critical questions about the possibilities and limitations of relying on schools as a solution to social problems. Recognizing restraints, we will conclude by reflecting on how we might work toward creating more equitable learning environments for poor and working-class students.

Pandemics: A Global History

With an interdisciplinary perspective, this course seeks to expand the understanding of past pandemic crises and recent, lived pandemics such as COVID-19. COVID-19 has brought up urgent questions about how we can understand and historicize pandemics and trace the changing relationship between disease and its vectors, humans and their environments. This course seeks to expand the understanding of past and recent pandemics through a historical lens that traces the deep seated racial and class disparities, social and cultural stigma, and political responses and control that they were expressed and deployed during these historical crises. It seeks to understand and analyze pandemics as representing complex, disruptive and devastating crises that effect profound transformations in ideas, social and economic relations and challenge interdependent networks and cultures. Pandemics are balanced in a global-local flux between dramaturgic, proliferating, contagious outbreaks; and endemic, chronic infections that have prolonged periods of latency before again remerging through new transmissions. They also serve as a crucial lens to analyze a range of historical connections, ensions and movements ranging from colonialism and the politics of borders, global capitalism and labor, migration and mobility, decolonization and development, and neoliberalism and global health politics.

SEMINAR URBAN EDUCATION

This seminar serves as the capstone course for students pursuing the Education Studies minor/special concentration or the Urban Studies major/concentration with an Urban Education Specialization. The Seminar in Urban Education explores the historical, political and socio-cultural dynamics of urban education in the U.S. context. Over time, a range of social actors have intervened in the “problem” of urban education, attempting to reshape and reform urban schools. Others have disputed this “problem” focused approach, arguing that policy makers, teachers, and researchers should start from the strengths and capacities located in urban communities. Despite decades of wide ranging reform efforts, however, many urban schools still fail to provide their students with an adequate, equitable education. Seminar in Urban Education investigates this paradox by pursuing three central course questions: 1) How have various social actors tried to achieve equity in urban schools over time? 2) What are the range and variation of assets and challenges found in urban schools? and 3) Considering this history and context, what would effective reform in a global city like NYC look like? Students will engage these questions not only through course readings and seminar discussions, but through a 40-hour field placement in a New York City public school classroom, extra-curricular program, or other education based site.

What does it mean to be an excellent teacher? The Seminar in Secondary Multicultural Pedagogy will engage this question as you work to develop methods for teaching your subject(s) in ways that draw upon five specific domains of knowledge: knowledge of self, content, pedagogical methods, context, and students. You will be introduced to a variety of multicultural teaching approaches and develop ways to adapt them to your particular subject area and to the intellectual, social, and emotional needs of adolescent learners. Throughout the course, we will consider how to effectively differentiate instruction for and support ELL students and students with special needs. Seminar sessions will include discussions, presentations of lessons, group activities, and problem-solving issues teachers encounter in the classroom. We will explore culturally responsive approaches to: learning; learning standards; instruction and assessment; creating caring, democratic learning communities; selecting curriculum content, and engaging all students in learning. Assignments will ask you to reflect on the teaching/learning process in general, and on the particulars of teaching your academic discipline. We will accomplish this through lesson planning, practice teaching two mini-lessons, observing your peers teaching and offering feedback, and exploring stances and strategies for multicultural pedagogy in your content area.

This course explores the encounter between Europe, broadly conceived, and the Islamic world in the period from the seventh to the thirteenth centuries. While the Latin Christian military expeditions that began in the late eleventh century known as the Crusades are part of this story, they are not the focus. The course stresses instead the range of diplomatic, commercial, intellectual, artistic, religious, and military interactions established well before the Crusades across a wide geographical expanse, with focal points in Iberia and Southern Italy. Substantial readings in primary sources in translation are supplemented with recent scholarship. Students will be assigned on average 150-200 pages of reading per week, depending on the difficulty of the primary sources; we will read primary sources every week.
