Dreamworld & Catastrophe in Modern & Con
According to Susan Buck-Morss, the dream of the twentieth century was the construction of mass utopia. Dreamworlds of modernization—mass sovereignty, mass production, mass culture—were accompanied by catastrophes in the form of nationalist world wars and terror, the exploitation of labor and the natural environment, and anesthetizing mass culture phantasmagorias. Since the second half of the 20th century, the implementation of the great neoliberal utopia has led to the destruction of the collective institutions capable of counteracting the effects of the logics of dispossession that exploit both human labor and natural environments. As a result, recent debates have discussed the problematics of end-of-history narratives and the decline of utopias as forms of political and aesthetic imagination, and reflections around the notion of “capitalist realism” and the “slow cancellation of the future” (Fisher) have also addressed the growing difficulty of imagining a future beyond the reality of capitalism. At the same time, new proposals emerge to rethink new historical sequences of the notion of dreamworld as both a poetic description of a collective mental state and an analytical concept. The discussions over political and aesthetic imagination, aesthetic and political avant-gardes, the questioning of the myths of progress and development, and the social and political uses of memory, tradition, and nostalgia will be interrogated in our seminar from different historical vantage points. The course focuses on the historical continuities and discontinuities of the cultural and material logics of dreamworlds and catastrophes in Modern and Contemporary Spain throughout literature, essays, visual texts, comics, and social and cultural practices.

Development Practioner's Lab I
DP-Labs I & II are two full-semester, 3-credit courses with a first-year spring course focused on skills and tools around program design and a second-year fall course focused on skills around program management and leadership. The DP-Labs will bookend MPA-DP students’ 3-month professional summer placements, allowing for DP-Lab I skills to be applied over the summer and for DP Lab II to process those experiences as real case studies and examples. These skills will be applied to final semester capstone projects and allow students to synthesize lessons learned for their eventual job search and career development. DP-Lab I is designed to introduce students to key tools, techniques, and approaches used by development practitioners when diagnosing problems and designing programs. Throughout the semester, students will receive hands-on training by experienced practitioners in high priority skill areas, while looking at communications and ethics and power as cross-cutting themes that can be applied to all skills.

ACTING FOR SCREENWRITERS AND DIRECTORS
The course is intended to give the screenwriter and/or director an experiential understanding of acting and writing, thus enhancing the student’s ability to inhabit characters more fully as a writer, and to more effectively direct actors. The experience of embodying characters and living through plot subjectively enables a unique kind of understanding of structure, character and particulars such as “turning point” etc. In addition, the process of being well directed can open many doors to using impulse, spontaneity and intuition effectively in both writing and directing.

Topics in Organizational Economics
This course introduces the students to the field of Organizational Economics. We combine theoretical and empirical methods to study the nature, design, and performance of organizations. Organizations, such as firms, bureaucracies, and political parties, live in a second-best world, where inefficiencies are inevitable. Our goal is to understand and measure these inefficiencies, study their causes and how to minimize them. This course is divided in two parts of equal length. The first part introduces a few of the main theoretical models and findings from the organizational-economics literature. The second part focuses on how to bring the models to the data. By design, the course is intended for a broad set of students: those who are theoretically inclined, those who are empirically inclined, and those who are both. Many of the tools and skills that are developed in this course will be useful not only within organizational economics but, more broadly, to other fields such as industrial organization, political economy, development economics. Our ultimate goal is to accelerate the students' transition toward conducting their own independent research.

Financing Sustainable Development: The R
This course will focus on the practice of financing sustainable development. During the past several years, there has been significant attention given to the challenges of mobilizing public and private finance for sustainable development. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Paris Climate Agreement (PCA) have spurred a significant amount of activity in public policy, regulation, new financial instruments and asset class development. As a result, financing sustainable development is even more complicated than it was before, and requires students to have an understanding of a broad range of topics. The goal of this course is to provide students with an in-depth understanding of the practical realities of the topic of sustainable finance. The course instructor has been directly involved with major aspects of the topic, including as a policy advisor to the United Nations, an expert advisor to the Asian Development Bank and Uganda Development Bank, and a senior executive at various global financial institutions.

MICROLITERATURES
In the margins, at the edge of thought, in the absence of the Book, as part of the authority of law: this is where, in an indeterminate space, what we think of as “literature” happens in the Middle Ages. This course will be looking at these “micro” spaces and their respective means of definition to understand where and how literary or poetic experience finds a point of inscription, how it becomes phenomenal, in what ways it relates to vision, law, or the body, divinity, to the form of a life, and more. We will look at the edges of the literary: at the intersection with law, religion, magic; by means of passion, through the body, in the heart, in madness and free association, and…by chance as an experience of contingency. Our reading will include studies of manuscripts and their commentaries and marginalia, the “writing on the heart” in medieval literary and contemporary theoretical contexts, the role of rhetoric in shaping and authorizing law, theoretical, philosophical, and psychoanalytic texts that address the question of poetic/literary experience and the rupture with historical time. Our texts will vary in geographic origin but primary texts will be available in translation. This course will be working in conjunction with the seminar “Microliteratures: The Margin of the Law” at Yale taught by Professor Jesus Velasco and will be meeting together with his seminar at varied points throughout the semester, virtually, and if permitted, in person. The format of the “in person” vs. “virtual” meetings will be elucidated as we near the start of the semester and know what is permitted and feasible.

The Politics of Defense in the United St
The Politics of Defense is concerned with the construction and implementation of American defense policy—including strategies, budgets, modernization and acquisition programs, personnel issues, and decisions on the use of force. But it focuses on the politics, and process, of making policy more than on overarching theories or abstract ideas. Who are the key players, inside the Beltway and beyond? How do members of the Congress and Executive Branch wrestle with each other—and within their own organizations—as they collectively construct U.S. defense policy? Which parts of the process are badly flawed and which work well? How healthy is the relationship of the armed forces to American society? How do Republicans and Democrats, civilians and uniformed personnel, soldiers and sailors (and airmen/women, Marines, and space guardians), cooperate and compete? The readings of the course tend to focus on issues and debates of the past several decades. But in the interest of preparing students for the here-and-now of modern U.S. defense policymaking, the midterm and final take-home exams will consider questions of immediate salience in today’s debate. Is either major U.S. political party becoming isolationist? Is America truly preparing for possible great-power war against China, and how likely do different parts of the policymaking process as well as the broader polity consider such a war to be? Do we waste huge sums on the military? Does Congress add too many earmarks or pork-barrel projects to that budget? While the course emphasizes the United States system, its scope necessarily considers other countries and regions as well, if for no other reason than it is in regard to today’s international environment that U.S. defense policy is made.

Corporate Finance
Corporate finance is an introductory finance course. It is a central course for students taking the international finance track of the International Finance and Economic Policy (IFEP) concentration. The course is designed to cover those areas of business finance which are important for all managers, whether they specialize in finance or not. Three fundamental questions will be addressed in this course: How much funding does a firm require to carry out its business plan? How should the firm acquire the necessary funds? Even if the funds are available, is the business plan worthwhile? In considering these questions, the following topics will be covered: analyzing historical uses of funds; formulating and projecting funding needs; analyzing working capital management; choosing among alternative sources of external funding for company operations; identifying costs of funds from various sources; valuing simple securities; evaluating investment opportunities; valuing a company based on its projected free cash flow The course will combine lecture time and in-class case discussions, for which students should prepare fully. The goal of the course is to provide students with an understanding of both sound theoretical principles of finance and the practical environment in which financial decisions are made.

Financial Inclusion
Research shows that countries with deeper levels of financial inclusion -- defined as access to affordable, appropriate financial services -- have stronger GDP growth rates and lower income inequality. In recent years, research around the financial habits, needs and behaviors of poor households has yielded rich information on how they manage their financial lives, allowing for the design of financial solutions that better meet their needs. While microfinance institutions remain a leading model for providing financial services to the poor, new models and technology developments have provided opportunities for scaling outreach, deepening penetration and moving beyond brick and mortar delivery channels. The course will provide an overview of financial inclusion, focusing on the key stakeholders and providers, including leading-edge mobile money offerings by telecos, as well as banks, cooperatives, and microfinance institutions. The course will examine the full range of financial services -- savings, credit, insurance and payments -- and will evaluate the early successes and failures of new and innovative approaches such as mobile financial services. The course will be highly interactive, with select leading industry experts as guest speakers, group assignments, debates, and presentations by students.
