The Media and Politics in the United Sta
THE MEDIA & POLITICS
This course explores a broad range of questions concerning the relationship between the media and politics, with a focus on historical and contemporary issues presented in the American context: Do the news media educate or manipulate the citizenry? What is the role of the press in a democracy and how does the First Amendment protect the press in the United States? What has the impact been of the new information technologies on the traditional media and on the political role of citizens? Against the backdrop of these questions, we critically assess the political significance of social media and the increasing “weaponization” of information. In particular, we examine the extent to which these new developments limit the ability of citizens to participate meaningfully in society and politics, while at the same time challenging longstanding assumptions about the role of journalism and political communication in America’s system of democratic government.
Students engage with course material through a combination of readings, lectures, daily discussions, films, and guest speakers from the worlds of journalism and politics. Participants also work in small teams to create a hypothetical media proposal for selected candidates running in the 2020 New York City Mayoral Race. This will involve doing research on target constituencies, developing a persuasive message, and designing an effective media plan that matches specific messages to appropriate audiences and platforms.
The central goal of this course is to provide students with a deeper understanding of the factors that characterize effective communication strategies, and to equip them with the tools necessary to be more intelligent, critical consumers of all forms of political communication.

Conservation Biology and Sustainability:
ACADEMIC YEAR IMMERSION COURSE
Designed for students with a background in biology, this program investigates some of the exciting recent developments in conservation biology. Topics include: what is biodiversity, why is it threatened, and why is it important; habitat alteration and species loss; captive breeding as a conservation tool; conservation genetics; designing protected areas; the effects of exotic species in local ecosystems; conservation medicine; and the impact of global warming on ecosystems and wildlife. The course uses real case studies from current research to take an in-depth look at the challenges in conserving life on earth, and the unique ways scientists and ordinary citizens can make a difference.
Class discussions are supplemented with digital simulations of conservation biology and biodiversity concepts. Students learn how to contribute citizen science data to help us understand biodiversity changes in real time, and make observations of their own ecosystem. The course culminates with a stakeholder analysis and proposal for the creation of a new marine reserve.
Please note: Though this course is intended primarily for older students, it is also open to highly qualified rising freshmen and sophomores.

Communicating with Consumers: The Basics
COMM W CONSUMERS:MARKETING
Have you ever wondered how companies make commercials, how many thousands of ads you see in a single day, why Procter & Gamble sells 12 brands of detergent, or why you buy what you buy?
This course answers these questions and many more as students explore the various strategies used by companies to communicate with the consumer. Through selected readings including marketing texts, case studies, and current news articles, students acquire a general background in marketing, advertising, and public relations.
Participants gather in the morning sessions for lecture and discussion while devoting the afternoon sessions to hands-on and group work. Students are required to create a new product and marketing plan to present to the class as their final projects.

Cell and Molecular Biology of Medicine
ACADEMIC YEAR IMMERSION COURSE
At the core of most modern medical treatments is an understanding of how cells and biological molecules work. In this course we examine how medications such as antibiotics, anti-viral drugs, chemotherapy, and psychiatric drugs work. We also look at the molecular biology and treatment of conditions such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and auto-immune disorders, for example, Lupus. Class time is devoted to interactive lectures and in-class assignments designed to help students understand the connections between science and medical treatments. Outside of class, participants are expected to write a number of short essays exploring how various modern medical treatments work on a cellular and molecular level.
