COMPUTATIONAL POROMECHANICS
A fluid infiltrating porous solid is a multiphase material whose mechanical behavior is significantly influenced by the pore fluid. Diffusion, advection, capillarity, heating, cooling, and freezing of pore fluid, buildup of pore pressure, and mass exhanges among solid and fluid constituents all influence the stability and integrity of the solid skeleton, causing shrinkage, swelling, fracture, or liquefaction. These coupling phenomena are important for numerous disciplines, including geophysics, biomechanics, and material sciences. Fundamental principles of poromechanics essential for engineering practice and advanced study on porous media. Topics include balance principles, Biot’s poroelasticity, mixture theory, constitutive modeling of path independent and dependent multiphase materials, numerical methods for parabolic and hyperbolic systems, inf-sup conditions, and common stabilization procedures for mixed finite element models, explicit and implicit time integrators, and operator splitting techniques for poromechanics problems.

Extreme-Right Populism and International
Ext-Right Populism & Intl
T
his course addresses one of the major political challenges of our times. Over the past generation, more scholarship, political analysis and journalism has been devoted to extreme-right parties than all other parties families combined. This course seeks to understand what effect such parties have had on concrete foreign policies of influential countries around the world. To do so, it scholarly research, policy analyses, case studies, journalistic accounts, visiting experts and student contributions. The course begins by reviewing foundational scholarly research and journalistic work about the nature, sources and pathologies of extreme-right populism, but spends most of the time discussing what concrete and consequential effects of such parties on foreign policy—a topic scholars have barely addressed. Those effects vary greatly across countries and issues. For example, most people believe President Trump’s term in office had—and a hypothetical second term would have even more—considerable impact on US foreign policy and global politics. On the other hand, in Italy extreme-right populists currently dominate government and in Austria they have been in the government for about half the last quarter century, with relatively little impact. Other countries seem to be somewhere in between. Since scholars have written far less about this, and many of these issues are ongoing, we draw on a wider range of materials. We don’t know what the future will bring—but few deny that the consequences of populist movements are potentially large and that the world will probably be facing this challenge for some time to come. The course will include meetings with a selection of prominent politicians, decision-makers, policy experts, consultants and scholars involved in these issues.

EXHIBITION CULTURES
Laurel Kendall. This course is a continuation of Museum Anthropology G6352 (not a prerequisite). Through the study of museum exhibitions, this course explores a series of debates about the representation of culture in museums, the politics of identity, and the significance of objects. We will consider the museum as a contemporary and variable form, as a site for the expression of national, group, and individual identity and as a site of performance and consumption. We will consider how exhibits are developed, what they aim to convey, what makes them effective (or not), and how they sometimes become flashpoints of controversy. Because the work of museums is visual, enacted through the display of material forms, we will also consider the transformation of objects into artifacts and as part of exhibitions, addressing questions of meaning, ownership, value, and magic. We will look at this range of issues from the point of view of practitioners, critics, and audiences. G6365 works in tandem with the exhibition project that will be developed in “Exhibition Practice in Global Culture” to produce a small exhibit at AMNH.

The primary objectives in this course are to learn to systematically review and summarize primary research in molecular epidemiology and toxicology, to synthesize scientific evidence from both disciplines to establish weight-of-evidence, and to understand how this evidence relates to scientific decision making for improving health outcomes. In this course, we will evaluate 6 topics in environmental health, each for a 2 week (2 session) block. During the first week of each block, we will review and critique the human and experimental literature separately. During the second week of each block, we will integrate and synthesize this literature to describe the weight of evidence. By the end of the semester, students will improve their ability to formulate the weight of scientific evidence about current topics in environmental health and will be able to evaluate how this weight of evidence can inform environmental health decision making.

Principles of Genetics & the Environment
PRIN-GENETICS & ENVIRONME
Our fundamental understanding of genetics is constantly being challenged with new discoveries. This course will provide students with a deep knowledge of the principles of genetics, while exploring how new discoveries are changing our understanding of some basic principles. In addition, students will learn to appreciate how our underlying genetic makeup influences the effects of environmental exposures on human health. The course follows a logical progression: We will start with molecular genetics, describing the structure and function of genes and how gene expression is regulated. Next we will cover classical genetics, focused on modes of inheritance, both Mendelian and non-Mendelian. This will be followed by an overview of human genetics. We will end the course by learning about gene environment interactions, with a focus on some of the most common complex genetic diseases. For the most part students will learn basic principles through an understanding of the experiments that lead to their discovery. The format of the course is meant to be interactive. It will include didactic lectures, group work and critical evaluation of primary papers.

The Scientist and the Storyteller
Scientist and Storyteller
A Columbia Cross-Disciplinary Course
Designed for students in science and public health programs, this course bridges the gap between scientific research and the distribution of important health information to the public. Students are given an in-depth look at how science journalists work: their reporting techniques, writing and producing methods, and, ultimately, how they contextualize and distribute scientific information to their audiences. Students will be taught best practices for collaborating with journalists to ensure that their research reaches the public in the most intelligible and factual ways. For students training in science journalism, this course will provide perspective into how scientists think and the way they are trained to report research findings to scientific and lay audiences. Providing an opportunity for cross-talk between these two adjacent disciplines, this class will train scientists to be better communicators and journalists to be better translators of scientific information. Co-taught by leaders in the fields of public health and journalism, this course is a practical guide for researchers hoping to extend the reach and impact of their work.
Grades will be based on class participation and successful completion of a final project. For the final project, students will be assigned in groups to interview a public health scientist about a recent publication. Students will independently prepare a story (any format is acceptable) to communicate the study findings as a work of journalism.

Global Political Economy
According to a recent article in
The Economist
, 2020 marks “the year when everything changed” and a “turning-point” in human history and the global economy. Indeed, the current era of economic globalization, which until recently appeared inevitable to many observers, now faces numerous challenges—including the disruption of supply chains, the closing of borders, and sharp falls in economic output. However, the global economy was already encountering strong headwinds prior to the emergence of COVID-19 due to factors such as ballooning inequality, the climate crisis, rising nationalist and xenophobic sentiment, and increasing support for protectionism and skepticism of both “free trade” and (global) capitalism itself.
This course centers around analyzing the structure of the contemporary global economy, its political origins and inherently political nature, and how power is exercised therein by actors including states, corporations, and international institutions. As we will highlight throughout the semester, the global economy shapes the lives of people all over the world, including our own.
Specifically, we will discuss the rise and consolidation of today’s neoliberal global order, its “governance,” and the various forms of backlash against it that are currently proliferating. We will also carefully analyze the role of race, class, and gender in the global economy, as well as the persistence of colonial legacies, and the ongoing relevance of North-South and other inequalities. Additionally, we will discuss how issues such as climate change, U.S.-China relations, and the pandemic itself may shape the future trajectory of the global economy.
To shed light on these and related matters, we will critically engage with the contributions of a diverse array of classic and contemporary thinkers who have sought to
theorize
the global economy, and the dynamic interplay between politics and economics, in different ways.

Universal Food Security
This course addresses the challenges and opportunities for achieving a productive, profitable, inclusive, healthy, sustainable, resilient, and ethical global food system. Our first class will provide a brief historical perspective of the global food system, highlighting relevant developments over the past 10,000 years and will explain key concepts, critical challenges, and opportunities ahead. For the ensuing few weeks, we will cover the core biophysical requirements for food production: soil and land, water and climate, and genetic resources. We include an introduction to human nutrition –
Nutrition Week
– that focuses on dietary change and food-based solutions to malnutrition. Building on this, the course will survey a selection of important food systems and trends across Asia, Africa, and Latin America that provide food security and livelihoods for more than half of the world’s population. Case studies and classroom debates throughout the course will explore the roles of science, technology, policies, politics, institutions, business, finance, aid, trade, and human behavior in advancing sustainable agriculture, and achieving food and nutritional security. We will probe the interactions of food systems with global issues including poverty and inequality, the persistence of chronic hunger and malnutrition, climate change, environmental degradation, international food business and value chains, biotechnology (GMOs), post-harvest losses, and food waste. With a sharp eye for credible evidence, we will confront controversies, reflect on historical trends, identify common myths, and surface little-known but important truths about agriculture and food systems. In our final sessions, we address the ultimate question: can we feed and nourish the world without wrecking it for future generations?

Exclusion, Gender, and Mano Dura Policie
Exclusion, Gender, & Mano
This course aims to develop a comprehensive perspective on gangs and violence in Latin American cities, with a special focus on young men’s subjectivities in urban spaces. Particular attention will be paid to the experiences of youths from marginalized populations and sectors. We will undertake a systematic reflection departing from the following themes: urban and armed violence in Latin America, social exclusion, mano dura polices, youth gangs and their transfiguration into organized crime; criminal governances as well as negotiated paths to gang violence. Urban crime and fear of it are perhaps the most pressing concerns for Latin Americans in countries across the region, such as El Salvador, Colombia, Brazil, México, and Venezuela. Media, government, and public discourse situate young men and gangs as the principal perpetrators of urban violence and crime. Indeed, most victimizers are men and they make up the majority of victims of violent deaths. They have become the target of governments’ repressive measures and extreme responses such as extrajudicial killings and mano dura policies. In this course we will pay particular attention to these extra-legal responses to young men, such as extrajudicial killings predicated upon the lethal stigmatization of lower-class youths. We will develop a thorough analysis of youth violence departing from the structural forces that drive youths to violent lifestyles. We will learn about the cultural dispositions associated with gender identities and lived experience. We will discuss the deleterious effects of Mano Dura policies in Latin American in countries such as El Salvador, Venezuela and Brazil and how gangs have transformed into criminal and lethal networks to respond. We will dive as well into the armed territorial orders and criminal governance established by these groups in their neighborhoods. Finally, we will discuss and reflect upon the ongoing fascinating debate of alternative paths to gang violence and criminal governances such as inclusion programs and negotiated pacts. The course also aims to familiarize students with the rich literature that has blossomed in Latin America related to these topics and to foster theoretical dialogues with these studies, including my own field research experience with youth in Caracas.

RELIGION & PUBLIC LIFE
There is no shortage of spilled ink, popular media coverage, scholarly inquiry, and academic institutes—including right here at Columbia University—dedicated to examining the intersection of religion and public life. From narratives of religion’s predicted decline during the twentieth century to its much-discussed global resurgence at the turn of the twenty-first, the concept of public religion continues to occupy popular imagination. Through the lens of public religion, we are able to examine pressing issues such as the revitalization of, or disillusionment toward, institutional forms and political establishments in our questionably secular age. What happens when religion “goes public”? Correspondingly, what assumptions about the category of religion and its role in public places do discussions of public religion promote? Over the course of the semester, we will investigate the possibilities, pitfalls, and practicalities of understanding religion in terms of public life.
The coursework will draw from scholarship, policy documents, and real-world case studies on issues ranging from climate crisis to conspiracy. Focusing on examples of advocacy, considerations of democratic renewal and decline, and competing claims of power and authority, this seminar considers the ways in which our definitions of religion impact lived, embodied, and practiced forms of religion and secularism in our current moment.
