DISSERTATION COLLOQUIUM

The dissertation colloquium is a non-credit course open to MESAAS doctoral students who have completed the M.Phil. degree. It provides a forum in which the entire community of dissertation writers meets, bridging the departments different fields and regions of research. It complements workshops outside the department focused on one area or theme. Through an encounter with the diversity of research underway in MESAAS, participants learn to engage with work anchored in different regions and disciplines and discover or develop what is common in the departments post-disciplinary methods of inquiry. Since the community is relatively small, it is expected that all post-M.Phil. students in residence will join the colloquium. Post M.Phil. students from other departments may request permission to join the colloquium, but places for non-MESAAS students will be limited. The colloquium convenes every semester, meeting once every two weeks. Each meeting is devoted to the discussion of one or two pre-circulated pieces of work (a draft prospectus or dissertation chapter). Every participant contributes at least one piece of work each year.

The course focuses on the U.S. labor market but will also draw research from other settings. The readings are organized by topic and highlight the extent and urgency of the issue and along the lines of gender, race/ethnicity, nativity, and class. Topics include the patterns and trends of inequality among highly-educated workers, and underlying demand and supply-side mechanisms that explain the observed patterns. Attention will be paid to student pathways through higher education to the labor market, including the school-to-work transition process. The course will also cover topics of intergenerational and intragenerational mobility processes among highly-educated workers.

Roman ways of reading: literary culture

Histories of reading in premodern Europe are haunted by axiomatic assertions about reading in the world of ancient Rome: that Romans could only read silently, that few people were literate, that oral performance was the primary mode of publication. More recent scholarship has insisted on plurality: not ancient literacy, but ancient literacies. This course seeks to push that plurality further into the question of reading per se, the use and consumption of literary and para-literary texts, and to consider Roman readers, and Roman ways of reading, as situated in and inflected by social historical conditions. We will consider Roman discourses and ways of reading that implicate embodiment, gender, status and class, as well as the materiality of texts themselves. Our goal will be to look for accounts of and reflections on reading in a range of Latin texts, and to develop a model of reading and reception in antiquity that accounts for the range of readers and ways of reading that characterized the Roman world.

OPTIMIZATN MTHDS-MACHINE LEARN

Most existing reinforcement learning (RL) research is in the framework of discrete-time Markov Decision Processes (MDPs). Many real world applications, however, call for RL in continuous time with possibly continuous state and action spaces, such as high frequency trading and autonomous driving. Moreover, when cast in continuous time/spaces, it is possible to provide a theoretical and interpretable foundation for RL heuristics due to the availability of many technical tools such as stochastic analysis, stochastic control and differential equations.
This PhD reading course will center around reinforcement learning in continuous time/spaces and applications especially to financial engineering.  Students will take turns to present research papers, either important ones in the literature or their own papers, on topics including but not limited to exploration via randomization, entropy regularization, Boltzmann exploration, policy evaluation, policy gradient, q-learning, Langevin diffusions and application to nonconvex optimization, and mean-variance portfolio selection.  The objective is to stimulate interest in this emerging, largely unexplored area, to motivate new problems, and to inspire innovative approaches to solve research problems.

The course is mainly for PhD students in IEOR, computer science, mathematics, statistics and business school, who have taken courses in stochastic analysis, and are familiar with optimization and differential equations. Exceptional MS students with similar training may also take the course. The grading is based on the performance in the class including presentation and participation.

Intro to Health Data Scie

This course will introduce students to core data science skills and concepts through the exploration of applied biostatistics. The course will begin with an introduction to the R programming language and the RStudio IDE, focusing on contemporary tidyverse functions and reproducible programming methods. Then, the course will instruct students in contemporary data manipulation and visualization tools while systematically covering core applied biostatistics topics, including confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, permutation tests, and logistic and linear regression. Finally, the semester will end with an introduction to machine learning concepts, including terminology, best practices in test/training sets, cross-validation, and a survey of contemporary classification and regression algorithms.

ANTICOLONIAL AND POSTCOLONIAL POLITICAL

ANTICOL & POSTCOL POL THO

This seminar explores key texts of twentieth-century anticolonial political thought and its postcolonial interpretation. It is an advanced course in political theory for graduate students. Over the last twenty years, postcolonial approaches to political theory have challenged many of the traditional categories and assumptions of western political thought. Some contend that theories inherited from Western social and political thought cannot adequately speak to the political experiences of the non-Western world. Others have been sharply critical of the complicity of Western political thought and modern practices of imperialism, slavery, and global inequality. This seminar aims to investigate the various challenges that postcolonial theorists pose to political theory and to offer critical assessments of the possibilities and limitations of this perspective. We will do so by reading key anticolonial texts alongside major postcolonial interpretations of these texts. We will compare how anticolonial texts and their postcolonial interpreters engage with questions of political theory – such as the relationship between universality and freedom, revolution and history, violence and power, progress and emancipation – in light of the legacy of colonialism and the promise of decolonization.

Students meet with the professor and pave the transition from graduate students to seeing themselves as artists with a long term working creative perspective beyond academia. The professor will work to contextualize the students body of work in the arena of an international art conversation. VISUAL ART LAB will be led by Sarah Sze in the Spring.

Schedule:
Priority will be given to all second-year students who submit a short presentation of their work. Should there be remaining room for first year students they will be admitted upon review. To apply please submit a brief description of work, current research and interest in taking the seminar, along with 5 - 10 images. There will be one half hour meeting for each student with professor Sze throughout the Spring Semester.

NEUROSCIENCE

This intensive course during the second semester of the DPT curriculum provides students with detailed coverage of neuroscience through lecture and one human cadaver prosection lab. The focus of the course is on the integral relationship between structure and function, as it relates to the neural basis for perception, movement, behavior, and cognition.  A comprehensive understanding of normal structure and function provides the foundation for understanding abnormal structure and function.  Both the lecture and laboratory components of the course are critical to success in the program and as a competent entry-level clinician. This course uses a primarily systems approach to study neuroscience.  The first part of the course covers essential concepts, such as neurobiology, neurohistology, neurophysiology, neurodevelopment, and neuroanatomy.  The second part of the course covers perception.  The third part of the course covers movement.  The fourth part of the course covers homeostasis, behavior, cognition, and alterations (i.e. healing and aging).  Functional consequences of lesions to various parts of the nervous system will be discussed.
