Professional Development

Building Professional Profile

Whether you’re in the early stages of your career or an experienced professional navigating a career change, pursuing your next position requires a compelling, marketable professional profile. This course will cover the essential strategies and tools you will need to present yourself effectively to prospective employers. Topics include career assessment and its value to your self-marketing tools; your “pitch” and why it’s critical to your candidacy; constructing a resume that’s right for your industry and experience; and the value of LinkedIn as a professional network. Like all Professional Development courses in 2020-2021, Building Your Professional Profile is a single-class course. Students may attend only the section for which they are registered. This course is a required component of the two-course (0.5 point, total) SIPA Professional Development requirement; the other component may be chosen from among a menu of four electives (see SIPA U4041 through SIPA U4044). Students should complete both components of the PD sequence in their first semester.

Using the MBTI

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a well-known personality assessment instrument widely administered in organizational and workplace settings around the world. It does not measure skills or aptitudes, but personality preferences – the qualities that combine to make us unique individuals. The benefits of using the MBTI in professional settings include developing a self-awareness of our own preferred ways of decision-making, problem solving and relating to others -- and insight into the preferences of those who share styles that are dissimilar to ours. Understanding your MBTI profile will enable you to appreciate difference and mesh with the complexities of working within diverse organizational cultures.

Introduction to Old Norse, Old English,

OE/NORSE/CELTIC/LITERATUR

This course is intended as an introduction to works from a limited array of early medieval northern European literary traditions to examine how they inform and permeate one another, or, inversely to understand how respective worldviews and certain kinds of experience (like magic or charisma) fail to translate fully.  Our main concern will be to situate the nature of “poetic” experience in relation to time, memory, death, notions of fate and will, and community. Becoming familiar with different literary traditions, religious cultures, and views of the natural world, we will contemplate the means by which Christianity operated on “native” traditions and cultures and how Latin and vernacular traditions interacted.  While our focus is primarily on Old English and Old Norse literary traditions and cultures, we will incorporate literature from early medieval Celtic speaking worlds and also venture into pre-conquest Anglo-Latin and Anglo-Norman texts. We will look closely at the notion of literary or poetic experience across narrative genres and poetic forms, understanding the role of what we think of as the literary in relation to “everyday life.”

Mobility and Enclosure, Statelessness an

MOBILTY: STATELESSNESS DE

The volume and intensity of human mobility from the Middle East and North Africa to Europe remains dramatically increased nowadays, despite the overall restrictions in mobility imposed by the pandemic conditions worldwide. During the last decade refugee statelessness has evolved into as a quasi-permanent liminal condition of being within the political body of western societies, especially in so called border countries of the European periphery. The continuous expansion and multiplication of camps and hot-spots in countries such as Turkey, Greece, Italy, Spain, etc. has created different states of existence within the national territories, raising a wide range of issues that concern statehood, political rights, the right to equal treatment and access to public goods (i.e., health, education, safety, representation etc.), which concern the core social and political demands of a democratic polity. However, the antinomies and aporias related to refugee statelessness within the nation state are nowadays further aggravated by the pandemic conditions of the last two years. The pandemic has opened up a new space of unprecedented state intervention in the public and private lives of citizens, while reconfiguring the meaning of globalization. Questions of democracy, statehood and statelessness, mobility, access, restriction and enclosure are now re-conditioned under the two-fold historical contingency of refugee life and citizen life in a pandemic. In this course we address these emerging issues through theoretical, literary, legal, historical texts that highlight how long established social and political problems, imbedded in existing structures since the late 20th century, are currently intrinsically re-conditioned. Our intention is to serve a pedagogy that is alert to how the present time affects the social and intellectual life of people across borders and cultures, while retaining deep historical learning that establishes connections between radical new occurrences (such as the Covid pandemic or the refugee problem in the Mediterranean) and long term hard structural patterns.

QUAL RESEARCH METHODS SDEV

Students of sustainable development are faced with an array of global challenges that warrant scholarly inquiry. Social science questions are particularly well suited for qualitative research. This course will provide an overview of social science research methods, with a focus on building a toolkit for undergraduate students. We begin with an overview of the science of knowing. How do we generate scientific hypotheses in the social sciences, and then how can we find out whether those hypotheses are accurate? An exploration of a range of qualitative research methods will occupy the majority of our class time, including interviewing, case studies, questionnaires, surveys, coding, and participant observation. Toward the end of the course we consider how mixed methods allow for the integration of quantitative tools in the social sciences. Throughout, students will both study and practice these research methods, experimenting to better understand the strengths and challenges associated with each approach. The course will end with poster presentations in which students share their own research and justify the methods they have employed.
