EXHIBITION CULTURES

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.

GLOBALIZING REPRODUCTION

"Recognize and value unpaid care and domestic work through the provision of public services, infrastructure and social protection policies, and the promotion of shared responsibility within the household and the family as nationally appropriate." With these words, the new goal on achieving gender equality and empowering all women and girls included in the Outcome Document of the Open Working Group on Sustainable Development adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in September 2014, commits the international community to recognizing the centrality of care. The new goal further entails commitments to ensure universal access to sexual and reproductive health -- also, within nationally set parameters - and ensure women's full and effective participation in political, economic and public life. The realization of these objectives now requires coming to terms with the globalization of reproduction. In recent decades, communication, information and reproductive technologies, changing assumptions regarding the roles of women and men, and the effects of the global economic crisis have converged to generate transnational markets in care and procreation. As people cross borders to provide or purchase goods and services associated with reproduction, new spaces are created for (licit and illicit) entrepreneurs specialized in the movement of workers, body parts, corporeal services (like gestation), and children; specialized labor forces of care workers and baby producers are generated; and resolving conflicts national legal frameworks regulating areas from citizenship and residency to health and family organization once considered the purview of nation states becomes central to the international agenda. How are such markets to be regulated? How can (and should) conflicting national models be reconciled? How, in other words, can the new SDG be translated into state and international practices which do, indeed, promote gender equality and women's empowerment? This course will focus specifically on care and childbearing to explore these questions.

LGBT RIGHTS INTERNATIONALLY

On September 24, 2014, a hotly contested resolution passed the UN Human Rights Council condemning discrimination and violence on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.  The protracted fight for the resolution demonstrates how lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights are one of the most controversial issues in international human rights, culture, law and public policy today.  This course will explore how LGBT rights impact mainstream debates, such as bilateral relations and good governance, while also teaching students to understand the particular challenges of fulfilling LGBT rights, such as access to legal recognition for LGBT partnerships and transgender identities.  This course offers students an in-depth discussion about the challenges and opportunities of working on LGBT rights at the international level, surveys debates within the field, and equips students to competently address LGBT rights as they manifest across a range of academic and professional interests. Breaking news and contemporary debates will be integrated into the course work.

SECRECY, PRIVACY, & SURVEILLANCE: HISTOR

PRIVACY,SECRECY, & SURVEILLANC

To many, the growth of official secrecy and state surveillance in the U.S. and other countries threatens to undermine the whole basis of open and accountable government. Theorists suggest that secrecy is intrinsic to bureaucracy, while others celebrate transparency as an unmitigated good. In this course, students will consider whether such theories can actually predict the future by testing them against the evidence of the past, especially as it relates to enduring debates about individual rights and international security. We will examine how history has already witnessed many periods when the perceived growth of secrecy and surveillance inspired public outcry and attempts at reform. We will also consider how the actual practice of collecting, classifying, mining, and releasing information varies both between states and within government departments. And we will analyze why norms about secrecy especially when it comes to personal privacy vary over time and across cultures, from the ancient world to the information age. Students will discuss and debate these issues both through classic readings and original research. They will learn about modern techniques for protecting and extracting information through hands-on exercises, such as setting up a secure file-sharing system and filing a Freedom of Information Act request.

TECHNOLOGY, NATIONAL SEC & THE CITIZEN

TECH, NAT SEC & THE CITIZEN

While digital technology gives governments powerful new ways to protect their citizens, it also creates powerful opportunities for abuse. To complicate matters, governments aren't the only ones with access to these tools: technology also empowers individuals, activist groups, and non-state actors in ways that can either enhance or threaten the security of nations. This course will explore these changes, examining how digital technology is transforming the national security landscape, altering roles and power relationships for governments, citizens, and social movements. Specifically, this class will examine: NATIONAL SECURITY TECHNOLOGIES: Categories and specific tools in use for citizen engagement, surveillance, infrastructure control, and defense DEMOCRATIC & AUTOCRATIC GOVERNMENTS USE OF TOOLS: How governments, both democratic and autocratic, deploy these technologies in national security efforts, and its consequences on the rights of individuals and the broader social order CITIZENS, SOCIAL MOVEMENTS & NON-STATE ACTORS USE OF TOOLS: How citizens, social movements, and non-state actors wield similar tools to enhance, counterbalance, or undermine government security efforts REDEFINING POWER: How new technologies affect, alter, undermine, or enhance existing power structures and bolster or diminish the influence of citizens, organizations, and social groups on governments Course material will be comprised of theoretical readings on state security responsibilities and citizens' rights, case studies of effective and counterproductive tactics, and present-day examples of the phenomena.

POLICY DILEMMAS IN CYBERSECURITY

This class examines the challenges that policymakers must face as they grapple with the changing landscape of cybersecurity, from online crime and cyber conflict, to seemingly ubiquitous surveillance. There will be an introduction to the basics of the technology but much more on the difficulties pressing policymakers and businesses today. This course is intended to be an introduction to cybersecurity and is thus suitable for complete newcomers to the area. It is a big field, with a lot to cover; however this should get students familiar with all of the basics.  The semester is divided up into three sections: (1) a technical overview of cyberspace, attack and defense measures; (2) a detailed look at the various state and non-state threat actors; (3) a detailed look at defense in the public and private sectors and their political and economic underpinnings.

TERRORISM & COUNTERTERRORISM

This course examines the origins and evolution of modern terrorism, challenges posed by terrorist groups to states and to the international system, and strategies employed to confront and combat terrorism. We assess a wide variety of terrorist organizations, and explore the psychological, socioeconomic, political, and religious causes of terrorist violence past and present. We also analyze the strengths and weaknesses of various counterterrorism strategies, from the point of view of efficacy as well as ethics, and look into ways in which the new threat of global terrorism might impact the healthy functioning of democratic states. The course is divided into two parts. Part I focuses on the terrorist threat, including the nature, roots, objectives, tactics, and organization of terrorism and terrorist groups. Part II addresses the issue of counterterrorism, including recent American efforts to combat terrorism, the strengths and weaknesses of counterterrorist tools and instruments, the issue of civil liberties and democratic values in confronting terrorism, and international strategies and tactics.

VICTORIAN SERIAL FICTION

This is a reading-intensive seminar intended to do two things: first, to introduce students to Victorian serial fiction in the 40 years of its heyday, particularly the material facts of how serial fiction was made and disseminated, the cultural significance it was felt to have, and the formal techniques writers developed to work with and against serialization; second, to think through the methodological options available today for how serial fiction might now be studied, including most prominently methods taken from the history of the book, from affect theory, media theory, quantitative work performed under the umbrella of the ‘digital humanities,' and so-called ‘new formalist' work seeking to expand the boundaries of formalist study.(Seminar).  To apply for this course, please e-mail Nicholas Dames, (nd122@columbia.edu) with "seminar application" as the subject heading. In your message, include basic information: your name, school, major, year of study, and relevant courses taken, along with a brief statement about why you are interested in taking the course. Admitted students should register for the course; they will automatically be placed on a wait list from which the instructor will in due course admit them as spaces become available.

COMPARATV POLITICS SURVEY II

This graduate level seminar is designed to introduce students to many of the main questions motivating research in comparative politics. The course is not designed as exercise in intellectual history, although some "classics" are included. It is also not designed to teach particular approaches or methods in the study of comparative politics, although many such approaches and methods are included in the readings. Instead, it is designed to give students a sense of what we "know" today about the answers to some major questions that animate the subfield and to encourage students to develop the analytical skills, substantive knowledge, and theoretical insights necessary to make their own contributions to comparative politics and political science. Comparative Politics Survey II builds on the topics developed in Comparative Politics Survey I, but can easily be taken before taking Comparative Politics Survey I. Topics to be covered in the surveys include among others, institutions, culture, parties, violence, collective action, economic development, bureaucracy, regimes and regime change, the welfare state, corruption and political behavior.

FINANCIAL ISSUES IN LATIN AMER

Prerequisites: SIPA U6400 or SIPA U6401
Financial issues have been at the heart of Latin America's volatile and relatively poor economic performance. Inflation, financial crisis, defaults. Latin America has seen them all. Also, in 2014, Latin America and the Caribbean saw the fastest growth of any region in terms of new registered mobile money accounts. Bitcoins are already circulating for example in Argentina. As aspiring entrepreneurs, policymakers or staff from international organizations, students interested in performing in Latin America must understand the region's financial systems and how government's policies (including financial inclusion policies) could affect the local economy, particularly in response to unexpected external events. This is a very applied hands-on course where analytical tools typically used in international organizations and private investment companies to analyze country vulnerabilities are discussed and used. Case study discussions are a central part of the course. In this setting, LA economies are discussed vis-à-vis economies from other regions, e.g., Brazil vis á vis Korea; Argentina vis á vis Greece.

EQUALITY & INEQUALITY IN LAT AMERICA

EQUALITY & INEQUALITY:LATIN AM

Inequality has been a salient feature of Latin American Societies since the Colonial times. This attribute intensified during the nineties. During the past decade, however, different voices have begun to ponder a reduction of inequality in different social dimensions, especially in terms of income, but also in other social areas. As a matter of fact, scholars and policymakers from different stances show a renewed optimism about a possible change of course giving way to greater equality. But not everyone agrees. The debate is still seething throughout the region. This seminar does not pursue to give a conclusive answer to this controversy. Instead, it seeks to apply the notions of equality and inequality as keys drivers to carry out productive readings in order to delve into several aspects of Latin American societies. The main objective is to assess relevant social, economic, political and cultural dimensions of Latin American societies particularly in the last 15 years, through the scope of equality and inequality debates. Students will attain an upgraded panorama on issues such as demographic structure, urban and rural settings, social classes, gender and racial inequality as well as the relations between inequality and crime. They will study how Latin American social sciences are currently examining the different dimensions of inequality and their controversial stances regarding this drop of inequality. Additionally, from the perspective of equality and inequality they will review the changes in terms of the State's social intervention and consider if there is something that can really be labeled as "post-neoliberalism".

TALKING WITH THE ENEMY

Through a detailed investigation of eight significant case studies, this course will take a close look at past efforts of the United States to manage relations with "enemies" or adversaries. The course will examine the different strategies Presidents have used to "talk to the enemy": Roosevelt's 1933 opening of relations with the USSR; the decision at Munich to "appease" Hitler, Nixon's opening to China; the long delayed efforts to cease the war in Vietnam: the decision to invade Iraq in 2003 and the current debates over whether the US should talk directly with Iran and how best to deal with Cuba.  The course will conclude with some examination of how the US might deal with groups in the new paradigm --  non-state actors such as Taliban, Hamas, and Hezbollah Several key themes will be interwoven throughout the course.

BENCHMARKING SKILLS DEVELOPMNT

Benchmarking is the process of continuously comparing and measuring against other organizations' performance, and analyzing the philosophies, practices, and measures that help an organization improve performance. Benchmarking goes beyond competitive analysis and encourages practitioners to examine organizations in markets that are different from their own. Benchmarking goes beyond quantitative analysis, and practitioners will consider organizational dynamics and qualitative characteristics in performance. Using a public sector-based case study with hands-on group activities, as well as various other examples given by the instructors, this course will teach students the benchmarking process along with the different tools and techniques to be used in implementation.

TOPICS IN HEALTH ECONOMICS

This course surveys what is possible, interesting, and convincing in health economics research. To this end, the course focuses on the recent empirical literature of health determinants. This literature has benefited from: a) the application of empirical tools pioneered in labor economics, and; b) the quantity and quality of readily-available microdata on health outcomes. While the course's focus is squarely on empirical determinants of health, three theoretical frameworks guide the course: the human capital model of health (Grossman 1972), the theory of capacity formation (Cunha & Heckman 2007), and the potential outcomes framework (Rubin 1974).

CHALLENGES TO PROSPERITY: LAW AND CITIZE

Insecurity and violence are on the rise in Latin America and the Caribbean with countries in the region having some of the highest rates of violence in the world. These challenges are not unique to Latin America and the Caribbean and lessons learned can be applied to different regions facing similar challenges. The course will review approaches to strengthening rule of law institutions and promoting social inclusion in Latin America and the Caribbean as a means of address rising citizen insecurity. Violence, crime and insecurity threaten the life and liberty of individuals and their fundamental human rights, obstruct the fight against poverty and hinder the process of democratic governance. Insecurity in Latin America and the Caribbean also has direct implications for the United States, and its policies and laws involving organized crime, trafficking, drugs and immigration.

POL & PRAC HUMANITARIAN ASST

Humanitarian agencies became major players in the intra-state conflicts that characterized the 1990s. However, this prominence also led to critical examination, both from within and outside these agencies. The dilemmas of field workers led to new questions: How can the challenges presented by the fragmentation of state authority be addressed? Is there a way to link relief to development? Is there a relationship between humanitarian assistance and conflict resolution/peace-building activities? How can relief agencies manage their relations with the parties to a conflict? How do human rights and humanitarian aid intersect? The experience of the 1990s has made it clear to humanitarian agencies that technical skills were no longer sufficient - their staff also needed political and analytical skills to navigate in insecure environments.

HUMAN CRISES IN CONGO/GR LAKES

Over the past decade, perhaps no area of the world has seen such violent transformations and complex conflicts as Africa's Great Lakes Region. This 1-credit course focuses on the conflicts and humanitarian assistance in two Eastern Congolese provinces, Kivu Sud and Kivu Nord. Extrapolations based on IRC studies estimate an excess mortality in Eastern DR Congo of over 4 million people out of a total population of about 20 million over the last ten years. The neighboring countries of Eastern Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, and Uganda all play a role in this conflict. Moreover, they have also endured their own forms of traumatic upheaval and are still searching for a form of stability. This course asks why these conflicts endured for so long? What are the root causes? What happens when a state bureaucracy breaks down? What happens to the health care and educational systems? Can solutions be found? What is the role of the humanitarian organizations vis-à-vis the local population, civil society, and the local administration? The first part of the course gives an historical overview of the crises, and explains the current political situation, including forms of violence, exploitation, abuse and coping in the broader context of conflict in the Great Lakes region. The second part talks about the (limited) role of the humanitarian organizations, it especially focuses on problems in the areas of health and, to a lesser extent, education. Finally, this part will also look at some future scenarios. The course is based on Dennis Dijkzeul's research in Eastern Congo. The overall aim of the course is to help students to understand the situation in Eastern Congo and how humanitarian organizations intervene.
