TV PILOT: COMEDY & DRAMA

With the pilot as a focal point, this course explores the opportunities and challenges of telling and sustaining a serialized story over a protracted period of time with an emphasis on the creation, borne out of character, of the quintessential premise and the ongoing conflict, be it thematic or literal, behind a successful series.

Early in the semester, students may be required to present/pitch their series idea. During the subsequent weeks, students will learn the process of pitching, outlining, and writing a television pilot, that may include story breaking, beat-sheets or story outline, full outlines, and the execution of either a thirty-minute or hour-long teleplay. This seminar may include reading pages and giving notes based on the instructor but may also solely focus on the individual process of the writer.  


Students may only enroll in one TV Writing workshop per semester.

MEDICAL SCREENING I

This intensive course during the first semester of the DPT curriculum provides students with detailed coverage of human anatomy through lecture and cadaver dissection. The focus of the course is on structure and the integral relationship between structure and function. 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. Using a patient case-based approach this course will emphasize utilizing clinical decision making/differential diagnosis skills effectively and efficiently related to the concept of threshold detection to identify impairments or “red flags” in medical screening that warrant referral to other professionals. While they establish examination schemes, students will evaluate patient data in order to select the next-best history question to ask, or the next-best physical examination procedure to help rule out potential pathological processes. Existing medical screening guidelines will be reviewed and applied to the various cases-illustrating appropriate use of the guidelines and also potential limitations. Professional communication skills and strategies with patient/clients and physicians will be applied and practiced throughout course.

DIALECTS & ACCENTS

This course continues the actor’s work of experiencing voice and text in a free body as a means to develop versatile and transformative speech.  Students will deepen and refine their knowledge of the phonemes of the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), as well as the ability to categorize and utilize Lexical Sets in pursuit of a dialect/accent.  Students will demonstrate their ability to notate texts and transcribe dialects and accents into both IPA and practically apply the framework of the Four Pillars and the Voice Recipe. The student will use these tools, supplemented by handouts, video & audio resources and independent research, to study several accents/dialects in class as well as at least one additional independently researched accent/dialect. The goal of the class is to expand upon the actor’s choices of speech and vocal expression and to acquaint her/him with the resources necessary to truthfully portray an individual utilizing a dialect/accent on stage or screen.
Students will develop their own unique process for learning accents and dialects
, as well as efficiently and effectively applying their progression to texts via a combination of practice sentences, scene work, conversation, improvisation, cold readings, and a prepared monologue.  Students will complete the course having created a personal, in-depth method for researching and performing a role in which an accent or dialect is required. Students will do self-directed and supported research as part of their study.  They will consciously and intelligently assimilate this contextual research into their embodiment choices.  The final project is a presentation of their research and the sharing of a monologue that is ideally
written in the student’s selected dialect or accent
.

Intelligence & US Foreign Policy

The major national security controversies during the last decade have all concerned intelligence. Critics blamed U.S. intelligence agencies for failing to prevent the 9/11 attacks, and then for missing the mark on Iraqi capabilities before the war. In response, Congress ordered a sweeping reorganization of the intelligence community, and scholars began to revisit basic questions: What is the relationship between intelligence and national security? How does it influence foreign policy and strategic decisions? Why does it succeed or fail? This seminar provides an overview of the theory and practice of U.S. intelligence. It details the sources and methods used by collectors, the nature of intelligence analysis, and the relationship between intelligence agencies and policymakers. It also contains a short history of the U.S. intelligence community and evaluates the ongoing efforts to reform it. Finally, it discusses the uneasy role of secret intelligence in a modern democracy.

Advanced Economic Development for Intern

This is an advanced course in development economics, designed for SIPA students interested in rigorous, applied training. Coursework includes extensive empirical exercises, requiring programming in Stata. The treatment of theoretical models presumes knowledge of calculus. Topics include: the economics of growth; the relationship between growth and poverty and inequality; rural-urban migration; the interaction between agrarian institutions in land, labor, credit, and insurance markets; prisoner’s dilemmas and the environment; and policy debates around development strategies. Recurrent themes: Are markets efficient, and if not, in what specific ways are they inefficient? What are the forces driving development and underdevelopment? What are the causal links between poverty and inequality and economic performance? What is the role of interventions by states or civil organizations in bringing about development? The course will integrate theoretical ideas and empirical analysis, with an emphasis on questions relevant for economic policy.

MIMC 3.0: Migrants, Refugees and Interna

Migrants, Refugees & Int'

Capital, goods and people are more mobile than ever in our globalized world. Yet the movement of people across borders is still a largely unregulated enterprise that leaves many people unprotected in irregular and dire situations. International mobility – the movement of individuals across borders for any length of time as labor migrants, entrepreneurs, students, tourists, asylum seekers, or refugees – has no common definition or legal framework. In 2017, a group of 40 plus specialists in migration and refugee protection drafted and adopted a Model International Mobility Convention (MIMC) to address these gaps. In light of recent normative developments, this workshop aims to propose specific language to revise the MIMC in order to improve its efficacy as a framework for the reform of international rules governing the movement of persons across borders. The first part of the course builds the foundations. It introduces course participants to the legal architecture of migration and refugee protection, key migration and refugee challenges and governance mechanisms, including ‘crimmigration,’ responsibility sharing, and the specific status (or lack thereof) for ‘climate refugees.’ Drawing on insights from the fields of migration, human rights, national security, labor economics, and refugee law, in the second part of the course, students will reexamine MIMC’s capacities to promote the rights that should be afforded to all mobile people.  We will seek to clarify the duties and responsibilities of states to protect the rights of foreigners in their territory and the rights of their citizens in other states. The workshop will combine individual research with a collective effort to draft proposed revisions to the model treaty with the goal to reassert and reaffirm the existing rights afforded to mobile people and the corresponding rights and responsibilities of states.

Behavioral Development Economics

This course explores the implications of behavioral economics for economic development—how it leads us to rethink what development is about and provides us with new ways to promote it.  By drawing on the rich empirical and experimental literature of recent years, the course investigates a psychologically and sociologically more realistic view of how people make decisions than the rational actor model.  In the readings in this course, decision-makers are cognitively bounded and
/
or have endogenous preferences, shaped by history, experience, and exposure.  Behavioral development economics gives new insights into why it is sometimes so hard to change society, and what brings about change when it does occur.  The range of equilibria and of policy tools is much broader in behavioral development economics than in traditional economics.  Large-scale economic and social change can be caused by conceptual framing effects—the influence of ideas on beliefs and preferences.  The course considers many kinds of interventions that have promoted changes in the frames through which people see themselves and the world.  The interventions include quotas in elected political positions and in education to change stereotypes; mentoring programs that increase prosocial behavior;
edutainment
to promote health; participatory theater to reduce domestic violence; and training to reduce aggressive behavior that has helped males from impoverished neighborhoods avoid school suspensions and recidivism.  Behavioral development economics is a new and exciting field that presents students research opportunities, especially in laboratory and field experiments.  One of the objectives of the course is to expose students to these opportunities.

Graduate Seminar in Photo & Related Medi

Kind Radiance:Photo & Ethics

Kind Radiance: Photography & Ethics
Graduate Seminar in Photo & Related Media
From its early days, Photography has been surrounded by questions of ethics. Anthropology in particular has struggled with its earlier history as a companion to Colonial conquest. How else to understand the ethnographer’s photo documentation of brutality enacted in the Congo, or the supposedly “neutral” cataloguing of Bedouin women that was setting up an image database for control. During the British rule of India, image merged with biometrics, developing the world’s first “criminal” fingerprint measurement method. More contemporary debates about exploitation have placed the venerable Magnum Photo Agency into turmoil, while questions of appropriation follow contemporary art figures such as Richard Prince, and are satirized by collectives such as New Red Order. Photographers during war have faced different questions, about whether documenting atrocities is enough, or whether the image maker also needs to intervene. Appropriately, the title of this class is an inversion of Susie Linfield’s
Cruel Radiance: Photography and Political Violence
(2010). We hope to reach an optimistic inversion of Linfield’s sources of worry, and your own artistic and writing process will be the starting points for questions around ethics, appropriation, agency, witnessing, and permission. We will be reading contemporary theory and narratives, as we experiment with reading others images, and making our own.
