The Chinese Economy
When asking a Chinese citizen about a particularly puzzling aspect of China’s economy, the response will sometimes be
“
这是中国特色的“ or this is the Chinese way of doing things. In this course, we will think deeply about what exactly that means in terms of how China’s macro-economy and financial system operates and what are the policy implications for those differences. This course has three distinguishing characteristics: i. It uses modern tools from macroeconomics and finance to analyze the Chinese economy; ii. It compares and contrasts the Chinese economy with the United States as a way of highlighting what makes the Chinese economy (and incidentally the US economy) special; and iii. It treats a country like a company using methods from finance, accounting and management to shed new light on macroeconomic questions. While the focus of the course is, of course China, what students will also learn is how to think more broadly about all emerging economies. Many scholars have written about the significant steps in China’s development process since 1978. Wu Jinglian (2005) or Barry Naughton (2007 – see below), for example, provides excellent step-by-step descriptions of China’s remarkable path of economic progress from both before and after that critical year. This course takes a different approach from that very worthwhile historical/institutional approach in that it asks which tools from the modern economics and finance toolbox can and cannot be used to understand the Chinese economy and financial system. There will be both quantitative and qualitative aspects involved in our pursuit of that understanding. Every lecture will have a theory component, policy discussion component and data analytic component. By the completion of this course, students will know how to work with data related to the Chinese economy and how to go about thinking analytically about China’s economy and financial system. This will allow the student to intelligently answer challenging questions related to China’s current and future economic/financial circumstance.

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.

Rise of China & the World
What does the rise of China mean for the world? In this seminar, we will discuss various questions around this theme. The seminar is organized in three parts. Part I introduces international and domestic sources of explanations as levels of analysis. Part II focuses on China’s rising material (economic and military) and soft power as instruments of influence. Part I and Part II serve as the analytical foundation for the subsequent sections. In Part III, we will have in-depth discussions on six persistent and emerging topics on the international politics of China. We start with China’s grand strategy, domestic public opinions, and global governance. We then focus on the Belt and Road Initiative and US-China relations as two specific cases. We end by discussing how the Covid- 19 pandemic could affect the rise of China and the world order. This course will emphasize both substantive knowledge on specific issues and the analytical skills to make well-reasoned arguments supported by evidence.

BUDDHIST PHILOSOPHY
Buddhist philosophers generally agree about what doesn’t exist: an enduring, unitary, and
independent self. But there is surprisingly little consensus across Buddhist traditions about what
does exist and what it’s like. In this course, we will examine several Buddhist theories about the
nature and structure of reality and consider the epistemological and ethical implications of these
radically different pictures of the world. We will analyze and evaluate arguments from some of
the most influential Indian Buddhist philosophers from the second to the eleventh centuries,
including Nāgārjuna, Vasubandhu, Dignāga, Candrakīrti, Śāntarakṣita, Śāntideva, and
Ratnakīrti. Topics will include the existence and nature of the external world, the mind, and the
self; practical and epistemological implications of the Buddhist no-self principle; personal
identity; the problem of other minds; and causal determinism and moral responsibility.

S. Capital Case Litigation: Law and Lawy
S. Cap Case Litgn: Lw & L
We will study and learn how lawyers approach the trial of a capital case.
How has the Supreme Court shaped capital litigation and how do lawyers use the
changing constitutional and statutory rules to organize and conduct the defense. The
principles and skills we will study will prepare you to participation in complex litigation,
not only capital cases. However, we will also deal with the unique challenges of capital
litigation, and inquire whether the efforts to rationalize the administration of the death
penalty have been successful. We will approach the issues and lawyer decisions from the
standpoint of a team of lawyers appointed to represent a capital case defendant. We will
also analyze the decline in the number of death verdicts and sentences, and ask how
lawyers’ efforts have contributed to this. We will look at the international movement to
abolish the death penalty, and discuss the abolition movements in France, South Africa
and Japan (in each of which countries Michael Tigar has taught and worked with human rights activists.
Michael E. Tigar, the instructor, was a partner at Williams & Connolly
and in his own law firm, and has taught at law schools in the US, France, Japan,
Switzerland and South Africa. He has been involved in capital case representation in
federal and state trial and appellate courts, and in teaching capital case advocacy. He has
conducted litigation in more than 20 states and in other countries, and has argued more
than 100 federal appeals and seven cases in the U.S. Supreme Court. More information

DYNAMICS OF CLIMATE
Prerequisites: EESC GU4008, and advanced calculus, or the instructors permission. The current climate and its variations over Earth history are interpreted as consequences of fundamental physical processes, including radiative transfer, the atmosphere and ocean circulation, and the carbon cycle. Perturbations to climate, resulting from changing atmospheric composition or insolation, are examined using a combination of simple interpretative models and full Earth System Models.

Idealized Models of Climate Processes
IDEALIZED MODELS OF CLIM
Prerequisites: EESC GR6901 This course teaches students to design and apply idealized models to study the fundamental properties of climate system processes and their interactions. Though these models typically have at their core only a handful of interacting differential equations, they can significantly advance process understanding. We cover three topical areas in climate system science: (1) the interpretation and attribution of atmospheric methane trends (2) the role of the ocean in regulating atmospheric carbon dioxide, and (3) the influence of climate system feedbacks on the Earth’s energy balance. Throughout the course, emphasis is placed on identifying assumptions underlying conclusions drawn from simple models and the time scales over which different processes operate.

DOCUMENTARY ACTIVISM:THEORY
This is a course in how to think about documentary but not about “how to” make documentary work. Its premise is that documentary as an approach is still undergoing revision as a definitional problem. Relevant to our times, cameras and sound recorders are called upon to “witness” events. Basic readings on the history and theory of documentary are the heart of the course and practical exercises test theoretical questions. Students conduct low end exercises with their own smart phone cameras. Topics and issues center on the history of the radical documentary—from the Workers Film and Photo League of the 1930s to the 2011 Arab Spring uprisings, comparing then new 16 and 35mm film camera capabilities with contemporary internet distribution. Other topics include climate change and documentary work; motion picture film and photography in labor struggles; uses of anti-war and nuclear bomb footage; sexualities and video camera activism.
