AN INTRODUCTION TO BUDDHIST BELIEF AND P

Buddhism in Southeast Asi

This course seeks to introduce students to the diversity of doctrines held- and practices performed by Buddhists in Southeast Asia.  By focusing on how specific beliefs and practices are tied to particular locations and particular times we will be able to explore in detail the religious institutions, artistic, architectural, and musical traditions, textual production and legal and doctrinal developments of Buddhism over time and within its socio-historical context. Religion is never divorced from its place and its time. Furthermore, by geographically and historically grounding the study of these religions we will be able to examine how their individual ethical, cosmological and soteriological systems effect local history, economics, politics and material culture. We will concentrate first on the person of the Buddha, his many biographies and how he has been followed and worshipped in a variety of ways from Mandalay, Myanmar to Phrae, Thailand, and beyond.  From there we touch on the foundational teachings of the Buddha with an eye to how they have evolved and transformed over time. Finally, we focus on the practice of Buddhist ritual, magic and ethics in monasteries and among lay communities across Southeast Asia.  This section will confront the way Buddhists have thought of issues such as “Just-War,” Women’s Rights and Abortion, Material Culture, etc.. While no one semester course could provide a detailed presentation of the beliefs and practices of Southeast Asian Buddhism, my hope is that we will be able to look closely at certain aspects of the tradition by focusing on how they are practiced across the region. While we will focus on the Theravada lineage of Buddhism, we will also look at Mahayana practices in places like Vietnam and Malaysia, as well as Buddhist encounters with Hindu, Muslim, Catholic, and Taoist practices in the region.

MUSIC & MYTH

The course explores the relationship between music and myth in Western culture, with particular emphasis on the role that mythological narratives continued to play in societies where rituals and other forms of symbolic behavior were gradually displaced and abandoned. Greek civilization provided the model for a dramatic representation of human behavior rooted in the union of music and myth. Despite the decline of ritual in modern Western societies, the model of ancient tragedy continued to inspire ritual-like performances of mythological themes in complex literary, musical, and theatrical works. We will develop in-depth analyses of myths
that gave rise to particularly influential and rich musical traditions, including those of Odysseus, Orpheus, Oedipus, Ariadne, and Semele, as well as Wagner’s use of Norse mythology. In the process, we will investigate how myths were borrowed, adapted, reinterpreted, transformed, or recreated within the context of changing cultural configurations and against the backdrop of different claims about the meaning of the knowledge preserved and transmitted as myth.

CINEMA HISTORY IV: AFTER 1990

This course brings our survey of the development of the art, technology, and industry of motion images up to the present. During this era, most people no longer watched movies (perhaps the most neutral term) in theaters, and digital technology came to dominate every aspect of production, distribution, and exhibition. Highlighted filmmakers include Michael Haneke, Lars von Trier, Wong Kar-wei, and Steve McQueen. Topics range from contemporary horror to animation. Requirements: short (2-3 pages) papers on each film shown for the class and a final, take-home exam. FILM W2041

Introduction to Afro-diasporic Religions

Intro Afro-diasporic Reli

This is an introductory lecture course to the study of Afro-diasporic religions particularly its evolution from the period of transatlantic slavery to present. Students will explore the linkages between Africa and its diaspora, particularly Latin America and the Caribbean and the United States. Through an interdisciplinary approach and Black feminist lens, with a focus on the historical, ethnographical, and philosophical, the course will traverse through selected religions and regions such as Santería & Lucumí in Cuba and Puerto Rico, Vodou in Haiti and Dominican Republic, Obeah and Rastafari in Jamaica, Camdomblé in Brazil, Islam in Guyana, African American Christianity and Hoodoo, and Obeah and Orisha tradition in Trinidad and Tobago. Collectively we will explore questions of Black diasporic liberatory practices and formation, queerness, transness, spiritual possession, resistance, and ancestral veneration. Through a combination of lectures, readings, films, audio recordings, and guest presentations, we will explore the historical development, contemporary manifestations, and contentions of these spiritual traditions; their connections and dissimilarities; their impact on visual artists and writers; their relationship to Christianity by way of colonization, and their meaning in the context of the ongoing struggle of Black people to imagine and embody sane, inclusive, healthy alternatives to a pervasive model of white supremacy.

INTRODUCTION TO ANIMAL STUDIES

INTRO TO ANIMAL STUDIES

The course introduces students to animal studies, a multidisciplinary field that investigates relations
between human and nonhuman animals across historical periods, political regimes, cultural contexts, and
institutional settings. Beginning with the foundational concepts of animal studies and moving toward
contemporary debates, the course traces how animals have been mediated through philosophy, science,
and law, as well as cultural artifacts. Through readings of classic and contemporary texts—from Aristotle,
Descartes, and Bentham to Peter Singer, Carol J. Adams, and Donna J. Haraway—the course examines
how ideas concerning animal nature, moral worth, legal status, and political inclusion are produced,
contested, and transformed.

Making Vikings

Between the 700s and 1000s, pirates known as Vikings raided much of Europe. Some were linked to merchant groups reaching into Central Asia, while others joined diaspora communities that sailed across the Atlantic. They made their worlds in many ways—through texts, images, artifacts, and behaviors. In this class, students will accomplish the same, guided by the principle that making is best studied by doing. This will be accomplished through a series of creative assignments accompanied by written discussions drawing on scholarship and historical materials. The course will culminate in a written proposal for a museum exhibit allowing students to explore chosen narratives or thematic interests. Through this work, students will learn how Viking-Age peoples made their world and consider how we recreate and represent that world today

Introduction to Climate Justice

INTRO TO CLIMATE JUSTICE

Today, it’s impossible to talk about the climate crisis without talking about justice. Thanks to the continued activism of grassroots and frontline community organizers, progressive NGOs, and coalitions of small island states, climate politics are now deeply linked to questions of social justice and equity.

This course introduces students to key topics and issues in climate justice in order to gain a foundational understanding of the field. Themes and topics include: theoretical frameworks of climate justice; climate justice and gender; the justice dimensions of climate adaptation and managed retreat; energy democracy and just transitions; the question of culpability and who should be held responsible for causing global warming; and historical efforts to codify justice considerations at international institutions like the UN.

ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN: SYSTEMS AND MATERI

ARCH DESIGN: SYSTMS & MTR

This architectural design studio explores material assemblies, techniques of fabrication, and systems of organization. These explorations will be understood as catalysts for architectural analysis and design experimentation.

Both designed objects and the very act of making are always embedded within a culture, as they reflect changing material preferences, diverse approaches to durability and obsolescence, varied understandings of comfort, different concerns with economy and ecology. They depend on multiple resources and mobilize varied technological innovations. Consequently, we will consider that making always involves making a society, for it constitutes a response to its values and a position regarding its technical and material resources. Within this understanding, this studio will consider different cultures of making through a number of exercises rehearse design operations at different scales—from objects to infrastructures.

The Core AI Studio explores how artificial intelligence might enhance rather than undermine humanistic education. It combines the collaborative, creative methodology of art and architecture studios with rigorous engagement with seminal works from Columbia's Core Curriculum. As an elective course for students enrolled in a section of Contemporary Civilization, it provides new ways to explore classic questions through experiential learning. AI provides a toolbox, but it is also a technology that provokes us to reconsider what is it to be human. Students will work individually and in small groups, experimenting with methods for using AI to uncover and test assumptions, analyze tensions, and engage with difficult questions that resist algorithmic solutions.
