FORENSIC SOCIAL WORK

This course introduces students to the field of social work and the law – specifically the practice of social work in legal settings.  Students will develop competency in forensic social work practice - working knowledge as a practitioner in an interdisciplinary setting representing clients entangled in legal systems including criminal, civil, family and immigration.  Students will deconstruct the complexities of the criminal legal systems and further develop awareness in addressing clients’ concerns related to their criminal justice history – pre-arrest, arrest, disposition and re-entry. Similarly, students will gain insight into the filing of Article X petitions in family court and the pathway of a child protection case.  This course complements field placements in legal/forensic settings, law minors and students interested in social work and law rooted in rights-based advocacy. This course is premised on a basic understanding of how the legacy of slavery led to mass criminalization and incarceration.  Black Lives Matter.

RESTORATIVE JUSTICE THEORY AND PRACTICE

The course will focus on understanding the theory and varied practices of restorative justice (RJ) and transformative justice (TJ), and how they are being used as alternatives to retributive and punitive responses to social problems and individual, community and institutional harm.  Students will learn – through modeling and practice – how to facilitate a restorative circle which can serve as the foundation for continued use of restorative practices in social work. The class will provide an understanding of the values and principles of RJ and R, and the most-commonly used RJ models and where they are being used. It will support students in understanding their own relationship to conflict and teach students how to facilitate restorative processes using peacemaking circles. Issues of power, privilege, oppression and identity will be substantial themes throughout the course, both in understanding the need for RJ and TJ, how RJ/TJ can address them, and the ways in which these issues arise in facilitation and the RJ/TJ movement.  In addition to understanding RJ, the course will also provide students with a critical analysis of other theories and practices of conflict resolution including mediation, truth and reconciliation, and transitional justice, and how all of these relate to addressing individual, communal and institutional harm.  Finally, the course will discuss how social workers can use restorative justice in a variety of settings.

Health Promotion: Theory, Research, and

HLTH PRMTION: THRY, RSRCH

Understanding why people behave the way they do, what makes them change their behavior, and how these factors relate to health status and quality of life is critically important for public health professionals. The evidence for the role of individual behavior in all the major health problems throughout the world is indisputable. Equally indisputable is the complex array of factors that combine to produce behavior and deter behavior change. The purpose of this course is to build upon the material presented in the Core in order for students to be able to use individual, interpersonal, organizational and community level public health theories to explain and change health behavior.

GLOBALIZATION&THE PROBLEMS OF WORLD ORDE

We are currently living through a significant transformation of some of the core features of the international system, or what is more broadly often referred to as, “world order.” Several recent events have highlighted and impacted this sweeping change. The first is the failure of multilateral institutions (such as the UN, WHO or even the G-7 countries) to meet the challenge of the 2020 Covid pandemic. The failure of international collective action is also an obstacle to tackling the effects of global warming. In both cases narrow national interests trumped transnational values.  The second is the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine which highlights the failure of multilateral institutions (such as the UN Security Council) to protect the independence of territorial nation-states, a principal unit of the international system since 1945. Narrow national interests continue to outweigh the commitment to the long-standing norm of territorial integrity of nation-states as the foundation for the modern post-imperial international order. Nationalism remains the most powerful force in international affairs. Third, the optimism of the post-Cold War (post-1989) era that economic globalization would lead to the liberalization of China and Russia has now almost entirely faded. The current moment is marked by the rise of these authoritarian states (together with Iran and others) which are seeking to overturn the Western liberal international order  that was established after 1945. This Western order consists of three components: capitalist market economics, democratic self-rule and universal human rights, and peaceful diplomacy as the preferred way to manage inter-state conflicts. In its stead we are seeing in major parts of the world the persistence of socialist command economies, the rise of illiberal authoritarianism, and a return to 19th century patterns of war and conquest. Finally, the era of expanding globalization, driven by capitalist economic integration across the globe, appears to be over. The world is de-globalizing.

This course will examine some of the key institutional challenges and most vexing conceptual controversies in the current rethinking, some might say turmoil, over global governance and competing forms of world order. These debates reveal at least two key features. First, a depth of disagreement about the shape of the international system which is arguably unprecedented in the last seventy years. Almost every dimension of global government and governance is today the subjec

Obesity is a serious condition that increases risk for type 2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke, certain types of cancer, and several other deleterious health outcomes. The US and NYCare facing an Obesity epidemic that threatens not only to cause increasingly severe health consequences but also billions of dollars in annual medical costs. Moreover, for the first time in decades, it threatens to reduce the life expectancies of today's youth by overwhelming public health improvements brought about in the 20th century. Numerous secular trends have precipitated the dramatic increases in obesity that have occurred over the past several decades. This course will provide a broad overview of the socio-cultural factors associated with the obesity epidemic; identify promising strategies for intervention; and enable students to craft and assess multi-pronged solutions to this multi-factorial problem.

Community Engagement Practice

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PRAC

The need for more effective and equitable engagement with communities has become increasingly evident to public health professionals in recent years. Now, more than ever, the importance of developing deeper and more engaged academic/institutional-community partnerships is necessary to address systems of structural inequity. However, developing these relationships requires not only knowledge of equity-based partnering formats, but the cultivation of complex skill sets that allow public health practitioners to most fully develop relationships across all phases of community collaboration. Two valuable forms of community engagement that public health practitioners and students can make use of are community-based participatory research and service learning, which are the focus of this course. Additionally, this course acknowledges that community engagement is a diverse space where people from a variety of professional and personal backgrounds come together. For many years, people working in the technology space have recognized the benefits of “matrixed teams,” similarly over the past few years the notion of interprofessionalism has become an important and required aspect of allied health and public health professional training. Research has shown that bringing together students from two or more professions to learn about, from, and with each other is extremely effective in all forms of collaboration (within research and intervention teams and with communities) and ultimately lead to improved health outcomes. According to the World Health Organization, “Once students understand how to work interprofessionally, they are ready to enter the workplace as a member of the collaborative practice team. This is a key step in moving health systems from fragmentation to a position of strength.” Pinsert course number – insert studio name 2 of 24 The overall goal of this course is for students to learn about and begin to practice the tenets of three frameworks: Interprofessional Education (IPE), Service-Learning (SL), and Community?Based Participatory Research (CBPR). With regard to interprofessional engagement, the course will provide students with a solid understanding of four key IPE competencies: roles/responsibilities, teams/teamwork, ethics/values, and communication. Complementing this, the course will introduce and integrate SL pedagogy to prepare students to engage in community service projects. The SL model prioritizes three aspects of project implementation: student learning, direct attenti

DESIGNING NEEDS AND ASSETS ASSESSMENT

DESIGN NEED & ASSET ASSES

The first essential step in the process of designing successful public health programs is to understand the needs that motivate these programs and the assets that can be brought to bear on developing them. The purpose of this course is to enable students to perform specific steps in a needs and assets assessment and to plan how to facilitate participation by those who will be affected by a resulting program. The assessment process encompasses two main components: an epidemiologic, behavioral, and social analysis of a community and population at risk for a health-related problem; and an effort to understand the character of the community, its members, and its strengths.

 

At the start of the course, we will discuss pre-assessment work which includes planning to put together a work group for planning the needs and assets assessment. We will touch on essential elements of encouraging participation, work-group management, and culturally sensitive practice. Simultaneously, we will create a logic model of a selected health problem using Step 1 of Intervention Mapping which employs an adapted version of the PRECEDE part of the PRECEDE-PROCEED model. Using this model, students will fully define their population and context for their assessments, posing questions, and choosing methods and data sources for completing each part of the logic model of the problem selected (heretofore referred to as the Logic of Risk). At the same time, we will cover various approaches and data sources for assessing a community’s strengths/assets. Finally, we will discuss post-assessment tasks including setting priorities and setting program goals for health and quality of life outcomes.

Digital Storytelling: Why Public Health

DIG STORYTELL: WHY PUBLIC

This interactive two-day workshop will teach students the fundamental concepts and skills of digital storytelling. Digital stories are multimedia movies that combine photographs, video, animation, sound, music, text, and often a narrative voice. Digital storytelling can be a powerful, multi-dimensional tool for community-based public health program enhancement, strategic communication, and advocacy (Hinyard & Kreuter, 2007). Students will share first-person narratives about public health passions and/or experiences and turn them into videos that can be used for training, community mobilization, advocacy, and more.
The workshop will be led by facilitators from and curriculum designed StoryCenter. StoryCenter is an international non-profit organization that assists people with the use of digital media tools to craft and share stories that lead to learning, action, and positive change. For the past 20 years, StoryCenter has been supporting researchers, educators, social justice organizers, and advocates in understanding how first-person narrative and participatory digital media production can advance a broad range of social justice and public health goals.

Poisoned Worlds: Corporate Behavior & Pu

CORP BEHAVIOR & PUBLIC HE

This course will trace the growing importance of occupational and environmental diseases such as tobacco related cancers, asbestosis and mesothelioma, and lead poisoning. Through the use of documents gathered in lawsuits, searches of medical and public health literature and other documentary sources students will evaluate debates about responsibility for arising conditions and chronic diseases. It will focus on the rising awareness of the relationship between low-level environmental exposures to synthetic materials and new conditions such as endocrine disruptions linked to BPA, behavioral problems linked to low level lead poisoning, PCBs in the environment and mesothelioma due to low level exposures to asbestos, among other issues. This course will be run as a seminar. Students will present summaries of recent scholarship on environmental and occupational disease. They will also develop timelines, bibliographies and a historical narrative on the evolution of knowledge about danger for a particular chemical, toxin, environmental pollutant or disease. As the semester progresses and as students begin to form the basis of their final project, students will take more responsibility for directing the seminar. Throughout the course students will be exposed to internal corporate documents developed through court cases. It will sensitize students
to the ways in which public understanding of danger was shaped by corporate behavior through close inspection of a number of specific industries, among them: lead, chemicals, food, asbestos, and silica. Students who successfully complete this course will be able to: analyze the history of knowledge regarding dangerous pollutants; critically discuss the variety of legal documents that address responsibility for disease; explain how historical knowledge can aid communities and individuals in quests for justice; utilize corporate internal documents in consumer court cases and education; appreciate the long history of debate over industrial and environmental damage.

SEMINAR IN STAGE MANAGEMENT III

MUSICAL STRUCTURE

Musicals, especially those that have traditionally originated on Broadway, are complex pieces of machinery that are designed to produce a variety of energies in the theater. When taken collectively, those energies constitute the aesthetic of the experience. As with plays, stage managers are charged with coordinating all of a musical’s production elements. However, stage managers should also be able to view a musical from every angle; that is, read it intelligently and analyze it dramatically so they can accurately gauge their contribution to the overall aesthetic. This course seeks to provide stage managers with a customized template to do that: in other words, how to connect what’s on the page and the stage to their own standard methodologies, cue calling, and the CEO/COO perspective. In the contemporary professional landscape, these are important tools that will help them optimize their work on musicals.

RACE/RACISM/ANTIRACISM: STUDIES IN GLOBA

RACE/RACISM/ANTIRACISM: G

Recent protests against racial violence erupting across the United States have demanded that the United States address systemic injustice entrenched in its national history. The Black Lives Matter movement has extended still further, inciting communities across the globe to raise their voices against discrimination and inequality.

 

Rather than viewing the United States— and the north Atlantic, more generally— through an exceptionalist lens, this seminar draws on the strong transnational resonance of the Black Lives Matter movement and the compelling responses of global communities across distinct demographics and colonial histories to decenter the historical origins of race thinking and provincialize its conceptual centrality as a first step in understanding its reach and relevance as a global signifier of “difference” today.

 

How might we develop critical studies of race and racism that are truly global and extend beyond the historical experience of the North Atlantic, and North America in particular? Might we consider the concept history of race, commonly associated with the Atlantic World and plantation slavery as a form of historical difference proximate to other practices of social hierarchy and distinction across the modern world? How can scholarship that addresses questions of black vitality, fugitivity and Afropessimism engage productively and rigorously with questions of colonial servitude and postcolonial sovereignty that emanates from anticaste thought, ideas of Islamic universality, Pan-Africanism and its afterlives, or heterodox Marxisms?

 

An exercise in comparative thinking, this seminar will function as an interstitial home for intellectual engagements in both the Global South and North, excavating linkages between injustices perpetrated through divisions of race, caste, and minority status, as well as the conceptual innovations born from struggles against them.

 

We are explicitly focused on the relationship between worldmaking and concept formation. Questions of historical comparison and conceptual convergence are important. So, too the forms of sociopolitical solidarity and political utopias that have arisen as a consequence of struggles against enslavement and imperialism.

 

Every seminar session will open with a twenty-minute discussion about political and social historical contexts. However, this is a course focused on the close and careful reading of ideas and

Grad Sem IV in Sound Art & Related Media

The Graduate Seminar in Sound Art and Related Media is designed to create a space that is inclusive yet focused on sound as an art form and a medium. Class time is structured to support, reflect, and challenge students as individual artists and as a community. The course examines the medium and subject of sound in an expanded field, investigating its constitutive materials, exhibition and installation practices, and its ethics in the 21st century. The seminar will focus on the specific relations between tools, ideas, and meanings and the specific histories and theories that have arisen when artists engage with sound as a medium and subject in art. The seminar combines discussions of readings and artworks with presentations of students' work and research, as well as site visits and guest lectures.

 

While the Columbia Visual Arts Program is dedicated to maintaining an interdisciplinary learning environment where students are free to use and explore different mediums while also learning to look at, and critically discuss, artwork in any medium, we are equally committed to providing in-depth knowledge concerning the theories, histories, practices, tools and materials underlying these different disciplines. We offer Graduate Seminars in different disciplines, or combinations of disciplines, including moving image, new genres, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, as well as in Sound Art in collaboration with the Columbia Music Department through their Computer Music Center. These Discipline Seminars are taught by full-time and adjunct faculty, eminent critics, historians, curators, theorists, writers, and artists.

ARTIST MENTORSHIP / VALS IV

ARTIST MENTORSHIP IV

This required Visual Arts core MFA curriculum course, comprising two parts, allows MFA students to deeply engage with and learn directly from a wide variety of working artists who visit the program each year.

Lecture Series
The lecture component, taught by an adjunct faculty member with a background in art history and/or curatorial studies, consists of lectures and individual studio visits by visiting artists and critics over the course of the academic year. The series is programmed by a panel of graduate Visual Arts students under the professor's close guidance. Invitations are extended to artists whose practice reflects the interests, mediums, and working methods of MFA students and the program. Weekly readings assigned by the professor provide context for upcoming visitors. Other course assignments include researching and preparing introductions and discussion questions for each of the visitors. Undergraduate students enrolled in Visual Arts courses are encouraged to attend and graduate students in Columbia's Department of Art History are also invited. Following each class-period the conversation continues informally at a reception for the visitor. Studio visits with Visual Arts MFA students take place on or around the week of the artist or critic's lecture and are coordinated and assigned by lottery by the professor.

Artist Mentorship
The Artist-Mentor component allows a close and focused relationship to form between a core group of ten to fifteen students and their mentor. Students are assigned two mentors who they meet with each semester in two separate one-week workshops. The content of each workshop varies according to the Mentors’ areas of expertise and the needs of the students. Mentor weeks can include individual critiques, group critiques, studio visits, visits to galleries, other artist's studios, museums, special site visits, readings, and writing workshops. Here are a few descriptions from recent mentors:
• During Mentor Week we will individually and collectively examine our assumptions and notions about art. What shapes our needs and expectations as artists and the impact of what we do?
• Our week will include visits to exhibition spaces to observe how the public engages the art. Throughout, we will consider art's ability to have real life consequences and the public's desire to personally engage with and experience art without mediation.
• The week will be conducted in two parts, f

China in International Human Rights Regi

China-Intl Human Rights R

This seminar will examine the causes of human rights violations and explore how external forces can address them, with a specific focus on China. I will contextualize China within the international community, which plays a defining, framing, and exercising role in one of the core liberal norms, human rights. Consequently, this seminar will encompass a comprehensive survey of broader themes within the international human rights regime. It will also involve a critical assessment of China's role in shaping this regime, in comparison with other key actors in various regions throughout history to the present day. Throughout the course, students will be expected to critically evaluate the assigned readings, actively engage in discussions on contemporary human rights issues, and gain research experience in presenting and writing their final projects. By the end of this seminar, students will have developed a deeper understanding of the intricate landscape of human rights and the influence of external forces, particularly China, in shaping this crucial global discourse

Impact Measurement & Evaluation for Sust

Impact Measure & Eval-Sus

In a world driving towards the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030, the measurement and evaluation (M&E) toolkit is critical for holding governments, philanthropies, impact investors and others accountable for creating benefit, preventing harm and contributing to effective solutions. During this course, we will explore both the demand and supply side of generating data and evidence for decision-making in the 21st century. We will also learn practical M&E skills that can be applied across all professions and thematic sectors and that are tailored to meet the needs of diverse stakeholders. Finally, we will ground-truth concepts and theories through discussions with experts and practitioners as well as place-based use cases (primarily from Asia and Africa) of the challenges and opportunities in measuring and evaluating impact. Students can expect to develop the critical skills needed to ensure they are able to navigate, negotiate and facilitate their way to a quality measurement and evaluation plan.
