FOUNDATIONS OF PUBLIC HEALTH

Public health is a science-based discipline that depends on the analysis of empirical data to guide decision making. Public health decisions also involve value judgments and questions that cannot be answered solely, or primarily, with data. The goal of the Foundations Studio is to equip students with a set of conceptual frameworks and analytic tools for making those judgments and answering those questions. Comprising concentrations on history, ethics and human rights, this studio views public health practice and policy through a wide-angle lens and encourages students to think broadly about the social, political, cultural, legal, and economic drivers of public health outcomes. The studio is designed to help students grapple with challenging issues of justice, equity, individual rights and liberties, and collective action; and to develop a critical capacity for thinking broadly and deeply about public health issues.

Prisoners Bodies: The (Un)Making of C

(Un)Making Caribbean Subj

This course focuses on historical documents, literary works, visual productions, and artwork born out of the experience of confinement across different regions of the Caribbean and its diaspora from the 19th century onward. It particularly examines how diverse iterations of the prison—as both a concrete and a fictional space, a trope, and an ideological apparatus—are ingrained in the (un)making of Caribbean “national bodies.” Likewise, the course will explore a varied archive of media and aesthetics revolving around the representation of ‘the body in prison’ in its different constituencies (prisoner, visitor, jailer, tourist, etc.). This will help us understand the prison experience not exclusively as a site of trauma but also as a critical point of encounter between Caribbean intellectual and nationalistic discourses, community-based activism, and ultimately capital. By interrogating the Foucauldian conflation of the penitentiary system and power’s dominant ideology, we examine the paradoxes of Caribbean political imagination as underpinned by the processes of forced labor, corporal discipline and commodification, exile, and resistance. We will pay special attention to questions about the roles of race, gender, and sexuality in Caribbean politics and diasporic communities that emerge at this manifold crossroad.

Students will become familiar with works from the Hispanic, French, and Anglophone Caribbeans and their diasporas, ranging from the memoirs of Haitian revolutionary leader Toussaint Louverture and the archival collection of Puerto Rican activist Lolita Lebrón’s imprisonment to the artwork currently being produced from prison by Cuban Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara. Concurrently, we will read critics and theorists such as Michel Foucault, Henri Lefebvre, Elaine Scarry, Diana Paton, Frantz Fanon, and Fernando Ortiz, among others. To complement our seminar discussions, the course will also host a series of talks on the works of contemporary Caribbean scholars and artivists.

FUNDAMENTALS OF DIRECTING

Directing is the art of articulating and sharing vision.  This course will explore how directors locate the deep “why” behind their work, both their oeuvre and their individual projects, and how that “why” translates into every element of production: design, casting, direction of the actors, and producing choices.   We will study the articulation of vision through both the macro and micro lens: how directors develop the big vision behind a project and also how directors communicate vision in the moment to moment work of a rehearsal process.  The first part of every class will be devoted to the macro: articulation of vision.  We will study master directors and the way they translate intention into aesthetic choices and process.  We will learn a process of excavating the deepest intentions of the author (be that the playwright, an auteur director, or a collective) and integrating those intentions thoughtfully into all other production choices.  And we will practice articulating the vision behind a dream project.  The second part of each class will be a practicum exploring the communication directors use when working with actors to craft scenes.  Students will apply fundamental directing skills through a progression from silent scenes to neutral scenes and finally scenes of their own choosing.

RESEARCH METHODS & APPLICATIONS

Successful public health studies, policies, and interventions rely on evidence to guide their design, development, implementation, and evaluation. Because public health is not a simple, reactive, “take the pill three times a day” solution, but a purposeful approach to preventing disease and promoting health, the tools of scientific inquiry to document, measure, evaluate, and understand all the consequences of health interventions are essential. Learning to identify, gather, and interpret evidence is therefore crucial for public health practitioners. The Research Methods & Applications studio provides an introduction to scientific inquiry and evidence and their relationships to public policy. Using an integrated approach spanning multiple disciplines, students will be provided with a basic introduction to quantitative and qualitative measurement and data collection, tenets of epidemiologic study design, statistical inference and data analysis techniques, and the tools of science. Views on the differences between scientific and other types of inquiry and knowledge, classical models of how science and evidence can inform policy and programs, and sources of tension at the science- policy interface will be explored and discussed. The methods introduced in this course will provide a toolkit with which to help measure and estimate the relationships between the smaller pieces that comprise the complex and dynamic web of systems in public health.

Leadership in Times of Disruption

Ldrshp in Times of Disrup

This is a seven-week course designed to equip participants with the skills and knowledge to effectively lead and manage teams, especially during times of great change. The course concepts will be broadly applicable to all disciplines and sectors, and will showcase examples from the nonprofit/social impact sectors, as well as practices popularized by Big Tech companies and other startups as they've rapidly grown and disrupted industries in the last decades. 

The first premise of the course is that successful leadership and management involve the deft application of frameworks, research, and best practices, but also deep self-awareness of one’s own strengths, weaknesses, biases, and emotional triggers. Throughout the course, we look to develop the emotional strength and open-ended mindset required for leadership while practicing the specific research-backed skills and behaviors that get the most out of teams. 

The second premise of this course is to carefully deconstruct “leadership” into its many forms, including driving impact, creating transformation, and managing people and teams. Each is encompassed in “leadership,” but requires different skills and focus to succeed.

This course will be interactive and will involve the creation of a hypothetical social enterprise, nonprofit, or new program within an existing organization, which we will use to teach concepts first-hand. As a class, we will co-create several projects for this hypothetical organization, including a draft strategic plan, annual goals, and job descriptions. The goal is for students to see the transformation of “good enough” deliverables into spectacular ones, building a base of knowledge and experience to take into the next stage of their careers.

Strategic Corporate Social Responsibilit

Strat Corp Soc Responsibility

Priority Reg: Executive MPA.
This course will introduce students to the global context of CSR through comparative business perspectives. After considering the theoretical frameworks for undertaking CSR activities the course will addresses a number of public policy issues facing globalizing companies through a series of case studies. Under examination is the manner in which business and ethical considerations have impacted upon different social, labor, and environmental challenges. We will be asking students to consider: to what extent such factors have been, and will be, part of the corporate strategy decision-making process; why companies are having to adapt (or not) to different pressures; and whether they might sometimes be going above and beyond the standards required by regulation.

JOURNALISM, THE LAW & SOCIETY

This course is designed to acquaint students with the basic protections and restrictions of the law as they apply to the media. First Amendment rights and legal responsibilities and limitations will be examined and discussed. The course will look at these questions from three viewpoints: from (i) the practical view of a journalist doing his job and (ii) from a legal perspective, all the while (iii) considering the rules in a public policy context: are they fair and appropriate in our society? Significant court cases and fundamental legal rules will be explored in the context of political and historical realities, and in terms of journalistic standards and practices; contemporary media law issues will also be focused on. Among the basic First Amendment issues which will be examined are libel, invasion of privacy, prior restraints, newsgathering and newsgathering torts, copyright and the reporter's privilege.

International Energy Project Finance

Int'l Energy Project Finance

Priority Reg: CEE Concentration. Pre-requisite: Instructor-Managed Waitlist. 
Project finance is a capital-raising technique frequently employed to build or purchase energy assets that produce reliable cashflows.  The investment’s risks are mitigated through contracts with project counterparties; project capital is sourced among various investors: corporate sponsors, project developers, investment funds, commercial lenders, development banks, export credit agencies.  Projects related to the energy transition to lower-carbon or no-carbon power generation and the parallel expansion of global LNG markets are the most prominent examples of international energy project finance today. The course takes a case-study approach, reviewing these trends and drawing lessons through a survey of international project financings: electric generation both renewables and gas-fired, price-hedged and merchant, along with infrastructure projects linked to natural gas including LNG export/import. Government policies providing incentives for investment in renewables, for promotion of exports, or for monetizing energy resources are featured in this survey. The objective of the course is to provide students with a practical grounding for market participants or policy analysts to appreciate which types of energy projects can attract investors and lenders in current financial markets. The course employs financial modeling and credit risk-rating exercises for students to develop basic skills in identifying the principal project risks, performing cashflow analysis, and measuring the investment and credit metrics for equity and debt capital sources.
