MA SEMINAR IN GLOBAL THOUGHT
This course explores the challenges of understanding the global world in which we live, a world that demands new conceptual approaches and ways of thinking. The objectives are:
To examine multidisciplinary approaches to key global issues through readings, class discussions, and conversations with select CGT faculty members as guest speakers. This will take place through multi-week modules that center on a critical issue, asking students to familiarize themselves with key questions and context, engage with an expert on the topic, and apply their insights to a specific case or question.
To develop a focused and feasible research project and hone the practices of scholarly data collection, analysis, and communication through workshops and assignments. This work begins in the fall and continues to completion in the spring semester of the seminar. The perspectives and skills developed in M.A. Seminar will support students in the development and completion of their thirty-five page M.A. essays, which they will present to each other and to CGT faculty at the Spring Symposium.

THE DOCTORAL RESEARCH SEMINAR
The purpose of this R-credit seminar is to support intermediate PhD students as they embark on advanced research projects. It begins and ends with workshops for doctoral students at the earliest stages of their dissertations: its meetings in weeks 2, 3, and 4 are devoted to the dissertation prospectus, and its final ones in weeks 11, 12, and 13 are for sharing dissertation chapter drafts or research plans. In the other weeks, the seminar expands to include interested post-MPhil doctoral students at any stage, and focuses on the process of publishing in academic journals, culminating in the completion of a submittable article draft. Most important of all, the seminar provides an opportunity for community-building at a time when graduate students are not generally in coursework together, offered in a spirit of mutually affirming collaboration.

THEORY & METHOD-STUDY OF RELIG
“Theories and Methods” courses in any field are commonly unwieldy beasts. They cannot but be a compromise-formation between contemporary questions and texts, ideas, and definitions (alongside a whole lot of problems) that we have inherited as “canonical” in a field. In the best case, such a course is a passageway into deeper engagement with a field, its histories, its complexities, and its possibilities from which we might wrest and build viable futures. Disciplinary fields are structures where power and knowledge are produced and reproduced. The study of religion is no exception. The questions of “how is ‘religion’ constructed as a category here?” and “what work does the designation of something or someone as ‘religious’ do?” will, therefore, accompany us throughout our work over the course of this semester. We will also examine how different methodological commitments shape what objects of study and which questions come to the fore for the study of religion. This course will explore how the study of religion is not reducible to the study of traditions and communities that are readily recognized as “religious.” However, the vexed histories of the construction of “religion” as a category of knowledge production does also not negate that there are large, varied, and flourishing communities of practice beyond the university for whom whether or not “religion” exists is not at all a question. Holding these layers of complexity in play, this course seeks to introduce students exemplarily to key texts and concepts that have shaped the study of religion as we encounter it today as an academic discipline.

Microeconomics & Public Policy
To design and manage successful economic policy, professionals need a sophisticated command of modern microeconomics. This course strengthens and extends understanding of microeconomic theory, and gives practice applying it. We study the relationship between market structure and market performance, exploring conditions under which policy intervention can improve market performance, and when it can be counter-productive. Both distributional and efficiency aspects of intervention are stressed. An introduction to formal strategic analysis is included, along with its application in the modern theory of auctions.

MPHIL THESIS WRITING SEMINAR II
MPHIL THS WRTNG SMNR II
This seminar is PART 2 for second and third year students who are writing their MPhil thesis. It will assume the form of a yearlong seminar during which students design, research, and write up their MPhil projects. These projects can be based on any kind of sociological method, quantitative or qualitative. The thesis will assume the form of an article that can be submitted to a social science journal. The seminar will help you to find an interesting question, a way to answer it, and a mode of communicating this to fellow sociologists in a way that they might find worth paying attention to. The summer break between the two semesters will allow students who don’t come to the first semester with ready-to-analyze data to gather such data (through ethnographic work, archival research, scraping the internet, combining existing survey data, etc.).

Introduction to Biostatistical Methods
INTRO-BIOSTATISTICAL METH
Like many fields of learning, biostatistics has its own vocabulary often seen in medical and public health literature. Phrases like statistical significance", "p-value less than 0.05", "95% confident", and "margin of error" can have enormous impact in a world that relies on statistics to make decisions: Should Drug A be recommended over Drug B? Should a national policy on X be implemented? Does Vitamin C truly prevent colds? However, do we really know what these terms and phrases mean? Understanding the theory and methodology behind study design, estimation and hypothesis testing is crucial to ensuring that findings and practices in public health and biomedicine are supported by reliable evidence.

Macroeconomic Policy Management
Macroeconomic Policy Mgmt
This course provides students with a structured framework for analyzing major macroeconomic policy challenges in advanced and emerging economies. It covers long-run growth dynamics, income distribution, general equilibrium adjustment to shocks, and the design and limits of monetary and fiscal policy. Emphasis is placed on modern macroeconomic thinking rooted in expectations, dynamic behavior, and solid micro-foundations. Students will study models such as Solow growth, Real Business Cycle, and New Keynesian frameworks to understand issues like secular stagnation, inflation, sovereign debt, and financial sector crises. The course integrates theory with current policy debates, drawing on recent global events and empirical evidence. It is designed to build intuitive understanding and disciplined policy analysis, with technical content supported by pre-recorded videos and recitations. Students will complete short analytical assignments, a midterm, and a final exam, gaining tools to think critically and constructively about macroeconomic policy in both national and international contexts.

The Hybrid Voice: Comparative Diasporas
COMP DIASPORAS & TRANSLATION
A seminar on the theory and practice of translation from the perspective of comparative diaspora studies, drawing on the key scholarship on diaspora that has emerged over the past two decades focusing on the central issue of language in relation to migration, uprooting, and imagined community. Rather than foregrounding a single case study, the syllabus is organized around the proposition that any consideration of diaspora requires a consideration of comparative and overlapping diasporas, and as a consequence a confrontation with multilingualism, creolization and the problem of translation. The final weeks of the course will be devoted to a practicum, in which we will conduct an intensive workshop around the translation projects of the student participants.
