IMPACT FINANCE FOR SUSTAINABILITY PRACTI

IMPACT FINANCE FOR STNBLT

This survey course examines a range of sustainable and impact investing fixed income and equity products

before transitioning to the asset owner perspective on sustainable and impact investing. Each class session

includes elements of financial analysis, financial structure, social or environmental impact, and policy and

regulatory context. Brief guest lectures, podcasts, and three experiential exercises bring these topics to life.

At the end of the course, each student will be able to (i) construct a diversified portfolio of impact

investments based on the range of products tackled in class, (ii) integrate ESG into debt and equity valuation,

(iii) develop an impact investing product that an asset manager or investment bank could launch, (iv) develop

an impact investing strategy for an asset owner, and (v) lead either side of the investor-corporate dialogue on

sustainability. The lectures are designed to prepare students for both the impact investing product

development exercise and the impact investing asset owner strategy exercise, and these two exercises are

designed to prepare students for impact investing leadership over the course of their careers.

As an early innovator in social finance, dating back 24 years, the instructor provides students with a practical

toolkit, honed by making mainstream financial institutions and products more beneficial to a broader range

of stakeholders and making specialist impact investment firms more relevant to and integrated with

mainstream markets.

Sustainability Value Creation in Private

This course provides an overview of the way sustainability (environmental, social and governance) factors are analyzed in private markets. It focuses on preparing students to implement their understanding of the financial and societal risks and opportunities within the investment making process. In private markets, limited partners (pension funds, endowments, high net-worth individuals) have pushed the sustainability imperative and social consciousness of private equity funds and asset managers by seeking greater clarity around how their money is invested in both a responsible and financially meaningful way. Alongside this trend, an evolving regulatory environment globally has propelled the need to systemize evaluation frameworks for stakeholders within investment functions and advisors who support them.Unlike public markets, sustainability information is harder to glean in private markets and requires a skilled extraction and evaluation process. During this course, we examine a traditional ESG due diligence process embedded within the wider investment lifecycle (sourcing, diligence, hold and exit) through the lens of changing geographic regulatory landscape in financial investing and the market leading frameworks that quantify ESG factors for evaluation. The course culminates with a deal due diligence process that mimics an investment committee (IC) comprised of private equity leaders that understand the commercial and purpose-driven viability of an investment.

CLOUD COMPUTING

Data analytics have become an essential component of business intelligence and informed decision making. Sophisticated statistical and algorithmic methodologies, generally known as data science, are now of predominant interest and focus. Yet, the underlying cloud computing platform is fundamental to the enablement of data management and analytics.

This course introduces students to cloud computing concepts and practices ranging from infrastructure and administration to services and applications. The course is primarily focused on the development of practical skills in utilizing cloud services to build distributed and scalable analytics applications. Students will have hands-on exposure to VMs (Virtual Machines), databases, storage, microservices, and AI/ML (Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning) services through Google Cloud Platform, et al.  Cost and performance characteristics of alternative approaches will also be studied. Topics include: overview of cloud computing, cloud systems, parallel processing in the cloud, distributed storage systems, virtualization, security in the cloud, and multicore operating systems. Throughout, students will study state-of-the-art solutions for cloud computing developed by Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and IBM.

The course modules provide a blend of lecture and reading materials along with class exercises and programming assignments. While extensive programming experience is not required, students taking the course are expected to possess basic Python 3 programming skills.

The desired outcome of the course is the student’s ability to put conceptual knowledge to practical use. Whether you are taking this course for future academic research, for work in industry, or for an innovative startup idea, this course should help you master the fundamentals of cloud computing.

CIRCULAR ECONOMY FOR SUSTAINABILITY PROF

Throughout history, societies have discovered resources, designed and developed them into textiles,

tools and structures, and bartered and exchanged these goods based on their respective values.

Economies emerged, driven by each society’s needs and limited by the resources and technology

available to them. Over the last two centuries, global development accelerated due in large part to the

overextraction and use of finite resources, whether for energy or materials, and supported by vast

technological advancements. However, this economic model did not account for the long-term impacts of

the disposal or depletion of these finite resources and instead, carried on unreservedly in a “take-make’-

waste” manner, otherwise known as a linear economy. Despite a more profound understanding of our

planet’s available resources, the environmental impact of disposal and depletion, and the technological

advancements of the last several decades, the economic heritage of the last two centuries persists today;

which begs the question: what alternatives are there to a linear economy?

The premise of this course is that through systems-thinking, interdisciplinary solutions for an alternative

economic future are available to us. By looking at resources’ potential, we can shape alternative methods

of procurement, design, application, and create new market demands that aim to keep materials,

products and components in rotation at their highest utility and value. This elective course will delve into

both the theory of a circular economy - which would be a state of complete systemic regeneration and

restoration as well as an optimized use of resources and zero waste - and the practical applications

required in order to achieve this economic model. Achieving perfect circularity represents potentially

transformative systemic change and requires a fundamental re-think of many of our current economic

structures, systems and processes.

This is a full-semester elective course which is designed to create awareness among sustainability

leaders that those structures, systems and processes which exist today are not those which will carry us

(as rapidly as we need) into a more sustaining future. The class will be comprised of a series of lectures,

supported by readings and case-studies on business models, design thinking and materi

MARKET RESEARCH

Market research is the way that companies identify, understand and develop the target market for their products.  It is an important component of business strategy, and it draws on the research and analytics skills you have learned thus far in the program. Often market research consists of generating your own data, through quantitative and qualitative methodologies, in pursuit of the market research question.

This course is an elective that will expand on quantitative and qualitative methodologies that have been introduced previously, provide an introduction to other methodologies that are more specific to market research, and provide hands-on practice in defining a market research plan from start to finish. Students will also learn about particular types of market research studies and when and how they should be deployed. Students will generate and test their own research instruments. Through the use of case studies and simulations, students will learn how market research fits into an overarching marketing plan for a company.

This course is designed for students who have completed the Research Design and Strategy and Analytics core courses, and who are exploring how research fits into product marketing. You will leave this class understanding the essential aspects of market research, when and how they should be deployed, and the role you could play in small and large companies directing and executing on market research opportunities.

BIOETHICS AND PANDEMICS

Infectious disease pandemics have emerged with often devastating morbidity and mortality since the beginning of recorded history. In the current era, COVID-19 has provided a multitude of examples of bioethical questions and challenges, including government preparedness, drug and vaccine development and legal approval, sufficient efficacy of prevention and treatment, resource allocation, and what information people give credibility to and which determine their behaviors. While COVID-19 was unique, many of the bioethical and policy concerns had precedent.

This course will explore examples of how bioethical and policy decision-making can have different effectiveness in the context of modern pandemics, although illustrative and unique aspects of some pre-19th century and multi-era pandemics will be examined. Modules will explore how ethical, policy, legal and social challenges are responded to in the context of different pandemics and how they differ from similar decisions and processes in “peace time”. Bioethic
s
and related policy responses predictably arise before, during and in the aftermath of a pandemic.

In addition to bioethical concerns, including social justice, pandemic response raises policy, legal and social challenges, including: individual preference versus societal benefit, risk and opinion of individual harms, and changes in local and national laws. Policy response occurs at every level of government and within institutions: international organizations such as the World Health Organization and the World Organization for Animal Health (WHO, WOAH), national governments, state and local governments, health care and other institutions, healthcare providers and others. The impact of misinformation and disinformation on personal and political decision making will also be explored.

AI & PHOTOGRAPHY

AI Photo

As far back as Walter Benjamin’s “work of art in the age of mechanical reproduction” (1935), photography has always been challenged by
mechanical means
of image processing. Photographers and Institutions have first resisted and then (mostly) embraced each of these changes. This class explores Artificial Intelligence Photography as the latest in a series of earthquakes in the history of the photographic image, accompanying the desires of business, globalization, and science. This class seeks an ethically guided, globally representative model for photography and artificial intelligence. Debates around authorship and creativity (e.g., Supreme Court case with Andy Warhol) now face a radically new context of an “authorless” photograph. As crowdsourced imagemaking begins, the bias of massive datasets have taken techno-utopians by surprise, underlining that the task of building an equitable image-bank of the world cannot be left to algorithms and entrepreneurs. This class will explore the ethics and aesthetics of Artificial Intelligence and Imagery. There will be equal emphasis on reading and writing papers, as there will be on learning new software and tools.

The course will examine how colonialism has acted a great interrupter to the collective memory which is foundational to Indigenous oral traditions and nationhood. Finally, we will consider how contemporary anti-colonial Indigenous narratives are ‘remembering back’ by drawing upon and building from the stories that have (and have not) been passed down through the generations.

ENVIRONMENTAL INFRASTRUCTURE FOR SUSTAIN

This class is about the physical infrastructure that determines the capacity and sustainability of cities.  Integrated networks of transportation, water, waste, stormwater, energy, park, and communication infrastructure are required for land- and resource-efficient cities that can survive extreme weather. Yet we have been building too little, too slowly to maintain legacy systems, let alone to retrofit our cities with efficient, innovative infrastructure. Recent political breakthroughs have created federal investments and a once-in-a generation opportunity to shift our cities to low-carbon modes – if we adopt better approaches to project planning, funding, and delivering critical assets that include public-private partnerships. 

This course is designed to create sustainability leaders who will build the cities of tomorrow, drawing on lessons from the instructor’s experience in developing sustainability policies and related capital programs, and by understanding and critiquing the full spectrum of infrastructure development in New York City and other major cities across the project life cycle, from planning to project delivery to asset management.

Intro to Digital Photography

Since Walter Benjamin’s concept of “work of art in the age of mechanical reproduction” (1935), photography has been continuously changed by mechanical, and then digital, means of image capture and processing. This class explores the history of the image, as a global phenomenon that accompanied industrialization, conflict, racial reckonings, and decolonization. Students will study case studies, read critical essays, and get hands-on training in capture, workflow, editing, output, and display formats using digital equipment (e.g., DSLR camera) and software (e.g., Lightroom, Photoshop, Scanning Software). Students will complete weekly assignments, a midterm project, and a final project based on research and shooting assignments. No Prerequisites and no equipment needed. All enrolled students will be able to check out Canon EOS 5D DSLR Camera; receive an Adobe Creative Cloud license; and get access to Large Format Print service.

STAT INFERENCE & MODELING

Prerequisites: (STAT GR5701) working knowledge of calculus and linear algebra (vectors and matrices), STAT GR5701 or equivalent, and familiarity with a programming language (e.g. R, Python) for statistical data analysis. In this course, we will systematically cover fundamentals of statistical inference and modeling, with special attention to models and methods that address practical data issues. The course will be focused on inference and modeling approaches such as the EM algorithm, MCMC methods and Bayesian modeling, linear regression models, generalized linear regression models, nonparametric regressions, and statistical computing. In addition, the course will provide introduction to statistical methods and modeling that addresses various practical issues such as design of experiments, analysis of time-dependent data, missing values, etc. Throughpout the course, real-data examples will be used in lecture discussion and homework problems. This course lays the statistical foundation for inference and modeling using data, preparing the MS in Data Science students, for other courses in machine learning, data mining and visualization.

Media Archeology

“It could have been otherwise.” -Noël Burch
With this brief yet generative statement from a foundational film theorist we are introduced to a major theme of this course, a graduate level seminar concerning the still-in-formation field of media archeology. Pursuing the material traces left by false starts, wrong moves, misbegotten speculation, and dead formats, this course will dig into the historical past in order to better understand our current media ecology, prepare for the computational future, and imagine how things could be otherwise. Archeology in this sense refers to the study of a technical object through investigating its origins (its arché), as a means of breaking down traditional linear accounts of history and reconstructing them along new, more lacunary, less teleological lines. This will be our goal. We will be introduced to media archeology as both a method and an aesthetics. Our approach will look for the old in the new and the new in the old, while locating recurring topoi, ruptures, and discontinuities. Marking a departure from more hermeneutical, text-based film and media studies models, we will instead focus on questions of hardware, materiality, and physical inscription—technological research that sticks close to the signal of mediatic events, close to the metal, close to the silicon. We will perform close reading and thick description, as in established humanities disciplines like literary studies and anthropology, but with radically different, non-phenomenological, non-discursive object formations. Topics we will consider include, for example, analog waveforms and digital pulses, mathematical versus narrative modes of epistemology, and what Thomas Elsaesser calls a “poetics of obsolescence.” Our readings will draw from the corpus of media archeology studies as well as consonant fields such as material culture studies, computer engineering, and the history of science.
