Presentation of doctoral student research and guest speakers.
This course will serve to provide an opportunity for Students who are Directing Concentrates to develop their thesis projects within a structured environment. The course may be taught in every week or alternating week formats. Students will be encouraged to submit ideas, treatments, scripts, rough cuts and fine cuts of their thesis films. The class is collaborative and serves as a base from which Directors can try out concepts and ideas, and receive input from fellow students as well as their thesis advisor.
Clinical and laboratory projects or field investigation related to nutrition, particularly in the area of growth and development.

In the summer and autumn semesters, the Workshop emphasizes management issues. Students enroll in small, faculty-advised project teams and design a detailed operational plan for addressing an important public policy problem. Each Workshop faculty member selects a piece of proposed but not yet enacted state, federal, or local environmental law (or a U.N. resolution) and students are asked to develop a plan for implementing and managing the new program. In the summer semester, the Workshop groups write reports explaining the environmental science aspects of a management problem to political decision-makers who are not scientists. During the autumn semester the Workshop completes the operational plan for implementing the program. Both the summer and autumn Workshop projects will be on issues central to the two earth systems problem themes that the cohort will focus on throughout their course of study.

This is a PhD-level course covering some classic topics of research at the intersection of development and demographic economics. It is both theoretical and empirical, intercalating the presentation of canonical models with the associated empirical evidence. The first two parts following the introduction are organized around intergenerational aspects of family decisions and their consequences for development and the evolution of inequality. The focus is on investments in children and fertility choice. In the third part, the course incorporates health into the discussion and analyzes how improvements in health interact with family decisions. Direct welfare implications of improvements in health are also explicitly discussed. The course uses the historical experience of the demographic transition throughout as a motivating backdrop for the theoretical and empirical discussions.
Research work culminating in a creditable dissertation on a problem of a fundamental nature selected in conference between student and adviser. Wide latitude is permitted in choice of a subject, but independent work of distinctly graduate character is required in its handling.

All graduate students are required to attend the departmental colloquium as long as they are in residence. Advanced doctoral students may be excused after three years of residence. No degree credit is granted.
Meets one Tuesday every month from June 2021 through May 2022, from 6-9pm. Dates are listed below, but there may be times when class dates will have to change. All classes will be taught via Zoom.
Overview:
The class will meet once monthly and will focus on the following:
1) Students’ thesis work - class will analyze, advise, give notes on, support, and discuss each person’s work over the year during the development, prep, production, post-production, and marketing periods of work for each thesis project. 2) Exploration of skills necessary to transition to working in the film industry after graduation. Topics include resume workshops, web site creation, film festival strategy, financing strategies, rights clearance, and press kit creation. 3) CU alums and other guest speakers will discuss their transitions from film school to working in the film industry, and will discuss their areas of expertise: TV producing, feature film producing, development, representation, networks and studios, teaching as a career, etc.
Required of doctoral candidates.
