Document and Imagination in Contemporary

Document & Imagination LA

This course proposes to make a theoretical reflection on Latin American literature, art, video, and cinema in the present. Starting from a diagnosis of the new scene, we are going to study some alternative forms. We will start with reading theoretical texts.

The study of these works will also allow us to understand the dynamics between the different media and how artists conceive their practice in the midst of contemporary conditions. We are going to explore in these works the relationships between imagining, documenting, creating communities, intervening in the social field, and discussing global issues that often, from a precise location, involve planetary issues.

We will study works by Valeria Luiselli, Lucrecia Martel, Mario Bellatin, Paz Encina, Galo Ghigliotto, Mariana López, Diamela Eltit, and Dani Zelko, among others. We will also read Jorge Luis Borges's works as a first break in the centrality of writing. We will discuss the constellation of problems around aesthetics, mediality, exhibition, politics, materiality, and immateriality in art and literature, mimesis and institutions, artists and intellectuals.

Audible Caribbeans: Sound and Body in Mo

This course examines the role of sound in the configuration of Caribbean bodily and spatial politics from the 20th century to the present. Caribbean sonorities have been associated mostly with the revelry of musical rhythms such as
el son
,
la rumba
,
la plena
,
el merengue
, and most recently
el reguetón
, among others. This course aims to transcend this common assumption— without ignoring it—to examine a wider range of acoustic expressions and their ambivalent works in the (im)mobilization of Caribbean bodies. We will closely explore sonic phenomena such as ritual utterances, political speech, radio melodramas, urban soundscapes, spoken word poetry, and lip-syncing, among others, as they unfold in processes of national formation, experiences of civil and political unrest (colonialism, dictatorships, forced migrations, natural catastrophes), and daily life. Inquiries regarding the operations of sound in the configuration of social space and the sensorial language of power and resistance will guide our discussions. We will focus closely on how the very materiality of sound (as well as acoustic technologies, media, and practices) has helped (re)shape the Caribbean political landscape (with emphasis on notions of race, gender, and sexuality). Students will engage with an array of literary and visual phenomena, mostly from the Hispanic Caribbean (Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic), although we will also analyze case studies from the French Caribbean. Concurrently, we will discuss critical and theoretical readings on the relationships between sounds, bodies, and space (by Ortiz, Barthes, Spivak, Sterne, McEnaney, Ochoa Gautier, Cavarero, Lamar Robbins, and Negrón-Muntaner, among others).

Ethics for Public Leadership

The purpose of this course is to explore, identify and detail the connectivity between good governance and the realization of social wellbeing, economic justice and environmental health. Occurring in many forms, corruption is currently a worldwide phenomenon that impedes the realization of human rights, economic development and environmental stewardship by obstructing the rule of law and the administration of justice, whether subtly or blatantly. The meaningful and functional institution of anti-corruption measures depends upon an understanding of both attitudinal and transactional deficiencies in human affairs across many dimensions of malpractice in public service. Attitudinal deficiencies are often intangible, as in cases of narcissistic disorder, normalized collusion and cultural hypocrisy. Transactional deficiencies are often tangible, as in cases of immediate conflict of interest, ranging from gifts and bribes, to self-dealt compensation and investment, besides nepotism, cronyism and favoritism; and intermediate conflict of interest, ranging from undue influence to campaign contributions, voter suasion and lobbyist support, in exchange for regulatory loopholes, waivers, earmarks, bailouts, subsidies, permits and contracts, besides perquisites such as honoraria, board directorships and revolving-door career advancements.

The course has four primary sections, each addressing in three subsections a domain or theater of ethics, which is distinct from but interconnected with the others. The first section addresses ethics in discourse, particularly the contemporary need to frame ethics in global, scientific and practical terms. The second addresses ethics in leadership, especially the current debates about the traits, authenticity and efficacy of leaders. The third section addresses ethics in management, including the peculiar hazards or pathologies of its main forms: loyalty-based, science-based, and behavior-based management. The last section of the course addresses ethics in society, including three critical sets of values that are significantly determinate with regard to achieving good governance: public, civic and social values, associated with governmental, nonprofit and for-profit organizations.

Integrative and Justice-Centered Researc

Research in Environ. & Cl

This discussion and presentation-based course will provide exposure to integrative research design through case studies across a range of key topics, with a focus on questions relating to climate and environment. The course will explore how the combination of traditional approaches and innovations in theory and methods can advance research by generating integrative, cross-cutting questions and creatively leveraging newly available technologies. Research design issues, data limitations, systemic constraints and anticipated future developments will be considered for each subject area. Students will be exposed to the challenges, limitations, and processes of successful studies, as well as less successful programs, to provide a practical awareness and guidance toward the development of their own research projects. All discussions and critical analysis of case studies will be centered in a co-production framework, with the aim of increasing our awareness of how academic research intersects with climate and environmental justice, and, ideally, how researchers can better contribute toward a just and sustainable world.

CAPSTONE: Conflict Analysis Models

Conflict analysis is central to understanding the context and content of any conflict. It is also critical for the person doing the conflict analysis to have a good understanding of who they are as a conflict resolution practitioner, including the frames with which they view the conflict analysis. Our worldviews, assumptions, values, and beliefs shape how we frame and create meaning from conflicts that we choose to examine, and how we understand the dynamics of those conflicts. Therefore, to conduct an impartial analysis of any conflict, and add value for the stakeholders involved, self-awareness is crucial.

This course is the foundation for developing the necessary mindset for conflict analysis. We want you to be able to enter any situation and ask the question, “What is really going on here?” and to use that inquiry to uncover underlying needs, issues, and assumptions. In this course, in addition to increasing your self-awareness as a conflict resolution practitioner, you will explore and become familiar with diverse conflict analysis approaches and tools, beginning with creating a conflict map to identify the actors, dynamics, and structures that are creating, escalating, and perpetuating the conflict. You will work with a variety of conflict analysis tools to examine the stakeholder perspectives and will be asked to identify issues that surfaced as a result of this analysis. You will define goals for your inquiry that correspond to the conflict issues you have identified and coalesce thematically around a specific purpose of appropriate scope for your capstone study. You will utilize the Coordinated Management of Meaning and Case Study frameworks to engage in desk-based qualitative inquiry using secondary sources. You will put theory into practice by interpreting the secondary data through the lens of applicable theory. The data will be further analyzed using CMM models and conflict analysis tools as a means of surfacing several needs to be addressed in your intervention design (in the next capstone course).

This course is the first of three (3) required courses of the capstone sequence.
In 6050, students will complete conflict analysis for their capstone case study.
In 6250, students will design an intervention that addresses the needs identified in their earlier analysis. In 6350, students will consider sustainability, as well as monitoring and evaluation strategies for their proposed intervention.

PUBLIC HEALTH INTERVENTIONS

The 
Public
Health Interventions studio 
provides an integrated approach to the theory and practice of designing, implementing, and evaluating interventions to improve health in the context of a complex real world. The studio will expose students to major theories of public health intervention, how to integrate understanding of these theories in the planning and evaluation of public health interventions and programs, and how these interventions and programs can be effective given the complexity of social and health systems. The studio introduces frameworks to address the complexity inherent in improving the health and quality of life of individuals and populations. 

 

Individual concentrations in the studio explore multiple dimensions of how interventions can improve health and quality of life, including how: (a) individuals’ interpretations of and interactions with the social environment affect their behaviors and well-being; (b) interventions and programs can be designed to improve knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, and achieve population impact – and evaluate if, in fact, they do have impact; and (c) systems thinking can be used as a tool to evaluate and understand the complex systems that interact to affect health and quality of life. Students will complete this studio with a solid understanding of the inter-relationship among theory, program planning, implementation and evaluation, and with the skills to apply these insights to the practice of service delivery, policy advocacy, and research. 

 

This studio is being offered via face-to-face instruction, supplemented with asynchronous work for the Fall 2022 semester. Asynchronous content consists of elements such as recorded lectures accessed through CourseWorks and interactive modules. Students will be provided with a timeframe within which the asynchronous content must be completed. Live sessions will be offered on the Columbia University Irving Medical Center (CUIMC). Whether content will be asynchronous or live is indicated throughout the syllabus. All times and due dates listed are in Eastern Daylight Time. Students are expected to complete the readings, surveys, labs, and watch recorded lectures by the stated deadlines.

GLOBAL AND DEVELOPMENTAL PERSPECTIVES

GLOBAL & DEVELOPMENTAL PE

The
Global and Developmental Perspectives
studio consolidates and extends students' analysis of the field of public health through the exploration of global and developmental perspectives on challenges and strategies to address them. Lifecourse research recognizes that adverse exposures experienced by individuals and populations, both biological and social, during critical developmental periods (including prenatal, childhood, and adolescence) have specific, cumulative, and often long-standing implications for health which may not manifest until many years later.

The concept of globalization and its interconnected and interdependent forces and relations are used as the basis for considering the increasingly global nature of public health practice and its politics regarding both the nature of health risk and inequity and the capacities to address these. Globalization and its causal pathways linked to patterns of risk, illness, injury and mortality will be explored; and also the effects of colonization, decolonization and the Cold War, and neoliberal reforms and globalization in creating conditions that exposed the globe to intense migration, trade and ecological shifts that have intensified the risks of old and new diseases and exacerbated public health disparities. Developmental and global perspectives are crucial to addressing primary health care, and disease-specific approaches include maternal child health (MCH), communicable disease (CD), and non-communicable disease, and injury (NCDI), the consideration of which is woven into the studio schedule. 

Concentration: Lifecourse

The
Lifecourse
concentration is the first of the two concentrations in this studio. The concentration contains 5 classes, including 2 demography-focused units. In this concentration, students will learn how lifecourse approaches have emerged in public health, how health varies within and across the stages of the lifecourse and across societies shaped both by biological and social pathways that shape our identities and health, how demographic data is collected and spans the lifecourse, and how an understanding of this variation improves public health policies and programs, as well as identifies targets for interventions. 

The concentration emphasizes the importance of historical context and time (e.g. socioeconomic, cultural) in shaping health across the lifecourse. The approach particularly focuses on individuals and the connections between
