LATE, CONTEMP, QUEER, UNEVEN

(Seminar). Literature takes time -- this is one of the things Susan Howe signaled in naming a collection of her poetry Articulation of Sound Forms in Time (1987). The moment of literary experience can also last years, unfolding in memory and through repeated encounters with a text. In literary studies, genres are partly grouped according to the ways they tend to shape form in response to time, or make time visible by giving it aesthetic form. Sometimes time in literature is progressive and linear; but, more often than not, literary times are uncertain, uneven, or paradoxical. This seminar asks how and why authors and scholars have celebrated the art and experience of untimeliness: the sense of existing out of time or across many temporal zones, or the condition of feeling belated or unseasonable, not on time or in time.

QUANT ANALYSIS-INT & PUB AFFRS

QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS I

This survey course introduces students to the fundamentals of statistical analysis.  We will examine the principles and basic methods for analyzing quantitative data, with a focus on applications to problems in public policy, management, and the social sciences.  We will begin with simple statistical techniques for describing and summarizing data and build toward the use of more sophisticated techniques for drawing inferences from data and making predictions about the social world.  The course will assume that students have little mathematical background beyond high school algebra.  Students will be trained on STATA.  This powerful statistical package is frequently used to manage and analyze quantitative data in many organizational/institutional contexts.  Because each faculty member takes a somewhat different approach to teaching this course, students should examine each professor's syllabus to understand the differences.

FEMINISM & DISABILITY STUDIES

(Seminar). This course studies the intersection of feminism and disability studies as a critical problem, a theoretical rubric, and a site of cultural production. These fields have much in common, including the fact that both grew out of movements for rights and social justice, take the body as a key area of concern, and are concerned with intersectionality of such terms as gender, ability, race, ethnicity, and class. However, they have not always been in dialogue. In this course, we will consider the evolution and key questions behind each field, where they overlap and disagree, and what might be gained through a productive conjunction of the two. We will study the sometimes competing perspectives of feminism and disability on debates over reproductive choice, dependency and care, and the representation of the non-normative body as we seek strategies for intersection and reconciliation. We will begin by assuming a close connection between aesthetic and social/political representation, putting narratives in a variety of media - essays, fiction, memoir, film, and visual arts -- at the center of our analysis. Narrative will be paired with critical readings that will provide historical, social, political, and theoretical context for our discussion.

This class will focus on the proper understanding and use of a wide range of tools and techniques involving data, analytics, and experimentation by campaigns. We will study evolutions and revolutions in data driven advocacy and campaigns, starting with polling and continuing through micro-targeting, random controlled experiments, and the application of insights from behavioral science. Our primary focus will be on developments in US political and advocacy campaigns, but we will also examine the uses of these tools in development and other areas. The course is designed to provide an informative but critical overview of an area in which it is often difficult to separate hype from expertise. The purpose of the course is to prepare students to understand the strengths and limitations of Big Data and analytics, and to provide concrete and practical knowledge of some of the key tools in use in campaigns and advocacy. Students will be expected to examine the use of data in practical case studies and distinguish between proper and improper uses.

HUMAN RIGHTS & CIVIL SOCIETY IN SOVIET

Human rights in contemporary Russia are a contested category. In the early 1990s political elites were very skeptical about these words, while at the same time they were widely used among the general population. Today it is almost the reverse: it has become quite popular among political elites to explain foreign and domestic politics in terms of human rights, but at the same time human rights and the human rights movement are both in serious crises on the ground. This course will seek to understand how and why human rights have fallen off the popular agenda in Russia today. We will explore a set of questions in the history of the late Soviet Union and Russia, investigate contribution of Soviet Academia into debates between the Soviet block and the West about human rights; cooperation and struggle between dissent and the first Russian government, and study in depth the tragedy of the ‘90s, when human rights were sacrificed for stability and the "nostalgic" modernization of the country. We will also explore politics and human rights in the post-Soviet space, including Crimea and the East Ukraine tragedy.

WHY WE FAIL: LESSONS IN CONFLICT RESOLUT

This course will undertake a comparative assessment of international efforts to resolve armed conflicts and prevent mass atrocities in a series of situations, some of which ended relatively well and some of which did not. In the former category, it will consider Kenya (2008), Guinea (2009), Kyrgyzstan (2010), and Côte d'Ivoire (2010-11), and in the latter Rwanda (1994), Srebrenica (1995), Sri Lanka (2009), and Syria (2011). In each of the eight cases, international decision-making will be examined through both conflict resolution and atrocity prevention lens in order to gain a keener sense of relative priorities and of how efforts to pursue one goal reinforced or complicated the other. The emphasis will be on the UN Security Council and Secretariat, but the policies of key Member States will be considered as well. It has been widely noted that most mass atrocities occur in conflict situations, but there has been little study of whether the respective techniques used to end conflict and to curb atrocities are fully compatible in the context of day-to-day crisis response efforts. The United Nations has authorized or compiled extensive lessons-learned reports on Rwanda, Srebrenica, and Sri Lanka, and there are substantial academic, journalistic, and eye witness accounts of all of the situations other than Guinea and Kyrgyzstan. The instructor will also draw on his personal involvement in United Nations decision-making, as Assistant Secretary-General and Special Adviser for the Responsibility to Protect (R2P), in all of the situations except for the two in the 1990s. Opportunities will be provided for the students to interact with national and international officials who were involved in several of these situations.

BUILDING NORMS: R2P EXPERIENCE

This course will consider the process by which international norms are created, disseminated, and integrated into policy and practice through a close examination of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) experience. Described either as the most significant normative breakthrough of the 21st century or as a radical assault on the Westphalian system, R2P principles continue to evolve as they are translated into national and international policy. The course, therefore, will pay particular attention to how disparate political, geographical, and cultural perspectives have shaped the way R2P principles are understood and articulated at distinct points in time. The parts played in this process by norm entrepreneurs and NGOs, regional groups of states, major, emerging, and smaller powers, the United Nations and other international institutions, bureaucratic politics, and individual leaders will be addressed, along with how unpredictable international events affected the process at critical junctures. Existing models of how norms develop, including widely accepted theories of a "norm life cycle," will be tested against actual experience in the R2P case. These more linear models may not fully fit the highly interactive and dynamic path that more contested norms, like R2P, have followed. The instructor, as the first United Nations Special Adviser on the Responsibility to Protect, was the principal architect of the global strategy for implementing R2P in policy and practice. The students will have the opportunity to meet with a number of the key actors in this process.

What is the status of the United States in the current world order? To what degree is that an order of American construction, and is will it remain so? What challenges does it face, and will its institutions outlive America's role in it? This course will address these and related questions. We will begin by looking at the historical origins of America's distinctive role in the world, before turning to the question of its status going forward. We will then consider challenges and challengers the US faces.

PLCY FORM,EMERG MRKTS, GLOBAL

One of the key learning objectives of this course is to ensure that course participants become familiar with the major debates surrounding the growing influence of emerging markets (especially emerging giants such as China and India) on the global economy. The impact that these two Asian giants have had, particularly over the past 15 years, on countries in regions such as the EU, the US, Latin America, Africa the Middle East, and even within other parts of Asia will be examined and carefully analyzed by relying on selected case studies, government reports, articles from scholarly journals and book chapters. Questions about whether China, India and other emerging markets are taking jobs away from the US and from EU countries, or whether they are actually creating new opportunities for mature market firms and policy makers will be addressed by examing available empirical data. A detailed survey of the changing trends in government policy making, international trade, investment patterns, innovations in financial markets, along with a risk assessment of global markets will enable private enterpreneurs, senior management and directors of global companies, as well as public policy makers to be better equipped with the necessary analytical tools to make appropriate policy choices and decisions. A close review and analysis will also be made of the rising role of sovereign wealth funds from emerging markets in order to measure their impact on global capital markets. In light of the biggest global economic recession since the "Great Depression", the timeliness of an EMPA course such as this will be especially useful to raise awareness of public policy makers and business leaders and to enable them to gain in-depth knowledge about the changing socio-political, economic and global business landscape.

APPL PEACEBUILDING:FIELD WORK

This course exposes students to conceptual and practical skills needed to develop a "reflective practice" orientation to applied professional work in international peace building and conflict resolution.  The class focuses on skills for designing, implementing, and evaluating conflict resolution interventions.  During the semester, students co-design projects, creating specific objectives and activities in collaboration with a Project Supervisor in a pre-selected field-based partner institution.  Students are encouraged to work in teams of 2-3 in the course.  Students implement the project during the summer, taking into consideration changes on the ground, through internships under the guidance of their field-based Project Supervisors.  Students return in the fall to deliver a report of their activities in the field reflecting on their experiences and presenting their findings to the SIPA community.  The course supports students in developing critical practical skills and experiences in managing a conflict resolution project while exploring the professional field of applied conflict resolution. This course requires instructor permission in order to register. Please add yourself to the waitlist in SSOL and submit the proper documents in order to be considered.

ECOLOGICAL POETICS-19TH C AMER

(Seminar). This course will explore how 19th century American authors registered the transformation of natural history into the sciences of life, and how attentiveness to the ecological fashioned their ethics. This course will explore a variety of theories that propose life as material but our interest will be less in cosmological than ethical an ecological questions. We will want to know the consequences of such accounts of matter for our understanding of the human; we will inquire into what counts as personhood for those authors, as well as what kind of ethics and politics they formulate on the basis of their materialist ontologies. Authors we will read include Poem, Melville, Emerson, Thoreau, Whitman, Dickinson, Chesnutt, Higginson, Hurston.

The course will analyse some "Orientalist" texts in detail, assess the criticisms offered by postcolonial writers, and take up these three problems – of representation, history and conceptualization for detailed, rigorous critical discussion.

QUESTIONS-ANTHROP THRY II:HIST

This course surveys the historical relationships between anthropological thought and its generic inscription in the form of ethnography. Readings of key ethnographic texts will be used to chart the evolving paradigms and problematics through which the disciplines practitioners have conceptualized their objects and the discipline itself. The course focuses on several key questions, including: the modernity of anthropology and the value of primitivism; the relationship between history and eventfulness in the representation of social order, and related to this, the question of anti-sociality (in crime, witchcraft, warfare, and other kinds of violence); the idea of a cultural world view; voice, language, and translation; and the relationship between the form and content of a text. Assignments include weekly readings and reviews of texts, and a substantial piece of ethnographic writing. Limited to PhD students in Anthropology only.

MODERN AMERICAN TEXTS

RALPH ELLISON

(Seminar). In this seminar we will read virtually everything by Ralph Ellison-leaving aside for now the posthumous novel recently published as Three Days Before the Shooting. We will concentrate on his special powers as an essayist, short story writer, and novelist. We will explore his literary training and aesthetic values as well as his political philosophy and--to use a keystone Ellisonian word--his stances. What are his views on American visual art? On American music? As we read Ellison's fiction and his essays, we'll be watchful for Ellison's positions on broad theoretical questions: the matter of influence-including influence across the forms of art; parody and pastiche; "American humor"; the importance of place-region, city or country, nation; internationality; complex definitions of individuality; vernacular culture and the artist.
