Dostoevsky's Afterlives
Few modern writers have been as adored, reviled, translated, or adapted as Fyodor Dostoevsky. In this seminar, we explore the “afterlife/survival” (
Überleben
) of Dostoevsky’s writings, with a particular emphasis on his reception and transformations during the decades of global modernism. We will ask: when and how was the dominant 20th-century image of Dostoevsky made? How is this image reflected, and refracted, in the later theory and practice of the novel? What resonances has it found across the political spectrum, from the pre-revolutionary Russian Empire through interwar Europe, the mid-century United States, and our present era of resurgent technocracy, imperialism, and nationalism? The first half of the course focuses on the Silver Age writers who did most to frame Dostoevsky’s legacy and artistic persona for an international readership. In the second half, we turn to a range of historical, literary, and theoretical contexts where this legacy comes into play. Students will take an active role in researching and shaping the story about Dostoevsky’s uncanny “survival” that our course tells, engaging with a range of readings in modernist literature, criticism, and novel theory. Midway through the course, each student will be responsible for a reception case study, researching either a place and time where Dostoevsky was widely influential or (by permission) a single author whose work comes into close dialogue with his.
Note: Russian-language readings will be provided in the original; many are also available in translation. Other readings will be provided and discussed in English translation, though reading in the original is always encouraged. The course is open to all graduate students by permission.

ADV MICRO ANALYSIS II
ADVANCED MICRO ANALYSIS II
Prerequisites: the instructors permission. This course develops theory of designing markets--namely, ;mechanisms; of allocating resources--that are efficient, fair and non-manipulable. Understanding the incentives participants face under alternative mechanisms will be a central theme of the course. Specifically, the course will consist of two parts. The first part deals with environments where monetary transfers can be used, and focuses on topics such as optimal nonlinear pricing, optimal auction design, property rights assignment, dynamic mechanisms and assignment games/sponsored search auctions in Internet advertising. The second part concerns market design without monetary transfers and discusses matching theory as a primarily tool for analyzing the topic. Specifically, we shall discuss matching of agents on one side with agents on the other and matching of agents to indivisible resources/positions, and apply the theories to problems of house allocation, centralized labor market matching, and school choice.

Chorus and Collectivity
For whom does the dramatic chorus speak? In this graduate seminar, we track the figure of the chorus in drama, theater, and performance from antiquity to modernity, investigating how the chorus represents collectivity and enacts new social forms onstage. The chorus, as we’ll find, can be an instrument of tyranny or of transformation, depending on the members who comprise it – whether they are an assembly of elders (Sophocles’s Antigone), a gathering of survivors (Euripides’s The Trojan Women), a cadre of revolutionaries (Bertolt Brecht’s The Mother), a crowd of athletes 2 (Elfriede Jelinek’s Sports Play), or a digital network of chattering AI machines (Annie Dorsen’s Prometheus Firebringer). Our seminar attends to how the chorus shifts across historical, geographic, and cultural contexts: from ancient Athens to postwar Germany, and from American mass culture to decolonizing movements in the Caribbean, the chorus has proven to be a remarkably flexible and resilient element of live art. The course offers graduate students a broad introduction to canonical works of dramatic literature both ancient and modern, while also featuring lesser-known plays and productions by emerging artists. For the first two-thirds of the term, our sessions will juxtapose a dramatic text with a work of social theory (by thinkers including Nietzsche, Simmel, and Goffman), as well as at least one scholarly essay. Our broader goal in the course is to develop fluency in critical methods at the intersection of drama, philosophy, and social theory. In this course, that is, we approach theater as not only responsive to traditions of social thought, but also generative of new social practices and collective habits of body and mind. In addition to regular weekly assignments, students will complete one short essay and one seminar-length paper at the end of the term.

Ethnographies at the End of the World
What can we learn from anthropological and ethnographic research in and about a damaged world, a world confronted by the violence and effects of war, climate change, transnational migration, post-industrial abandonment, and the lives and afterlives of colonialism and slavery? What are the ethnographic debates that address the catastrophes produced by capitalism and the lifeforms that emerge out of its ruins? What types of anthropological critique emerge in times enunciated as ‘the end of the world’? And what comes after this end? Ethnographies at the End of the World addresses these questions by paying close attention to some of the most relevant debates in contemporary anthropological theory and anthropological critique. These debates include, among others, discussions on violence and trauma, the politics of life and death, the work of memory and oblivion, and the material entanglements between human and non-human forms of existence. The aim of this seminar is to generate a discussion around the multiple implications of these theoretical arrangements and how anthropologists deploy them in their ethnographic understandings of the world we live in. In doing so, this course provides students with a fundamental understanding and conceptual knowledge about how anthropologists use and produce theory, and how this theoretical production is mobilized as a social critique. This course is reading intensive and operates in the form of a seminar. It is intended, primarily, for MA students in the department of anthropology and graduate students in other departments.

Politics & Policy of Urban Sustainabilit
Politics & Policy-Urban S
This is a course for thoughtful people who wish to influence actual policy outcomes related to sustainability challenges in major cities. Its objective is not to provide a primer on urban sustainability solutions; this is readily available from textbooks and will change by the time you are in a position to act. Rather, the course’s objective is to prepare you for the kind of challenges that will face you as a policy practitioner in the field of urban sustainability. Cities are increasingly recognized as a key level of government for environmental and sustainability policy. As at all levels, politics and policy are intensely intertwined, and perhaps more so at the local level because the decisions involved often affect constituents directly and intimately --in their neighborhoods, in their homes, in their commutes. This reading-heavy colloquium explores the politics and the policy of urban sustainability from the perspective of someone who wishes to effect change. It culminates in a team project in which students act as a sustainability policy team in a mayoral (or equivalent) office in one of the world’s major cities. The course considers key components of the city itself, with the objective of understanding what shapes the city and its impact on the environment. It mainly uses case studies from the twentieth-century United States, paired with international readings to allow a comparison with other experiences. The focus on deep case studies allows the consideration of the situations, constraints, and political dynamics of specific situations. It is intended to provide students with the ability to recognize patterns in urban political and policy dynamics related to sustainability. These are paired with an overview of leading solutions and how the professor believes practitioners should evaluate them for their own cities. The course also prominently features in-class presentations and discussions of the students’ main project: a team-based memo making a specific recommendation to solve a problem in a specific major world city, which is presented twice, once for a diagnosis of the problem in a given city and a second time with a policy recommendation. This project is the major portion of the overall grade for the class, and is used to allow the students to wrestle with the challenge of turning ideas from past and present into successful urban sustainability policies that can get implemented in a political and institutional world. In order to cover issues in depth, this course is not exhaustive;

Topics in Organizational Economics
This course introduces the students to the field of Organizational Economics. We combine theoretical and empirical methods to study the nature, design, and performance of organizations. Organizations, such as firms, bureaucracies, and political parties, live in a second-best world, where inefficiencies are inevitable. Our goal is to understand and measure these inefficiencies, study their causes and how to minimize them. This course is divided in two parts of equal length. The first part introduces a few of the main theoretical models and findings from the organizational-economics literature. The second part focuses on how to bring the models to the data. By design, the course is intended for a broad set of students: those who are theoretically inclined, those who are empirically inclined, and those who are both. Many of the tools and skills that are developed in this course will be useful not only within organizational economics but, more broadly, to other fields such as industrial organization, political economy, development economics. Our ultimate goal is to accelerate the students' transition toward conducting their own independent research.

SPECTERS OF ORGANIZED SUBVERSION
Ruling powers of various shapes and sizes tend to prosecute those people whom they fear because of their identity, class, craft, or convictions. Often, the object of accusation, inquiry, prosecution, and persecution includes not just one (or more) individual persons, but a set of relationships that these ruling powers see as anathema to the social order they seek to establish or maintain, and on which their power depends. Specters can personify residuals of antediluvian political or cosmological order (heretics and witches, officers of toppled regime, Catholics after the reformation, idolatry trials in the new world, mafiosi after their criminalization, Bundists in Soviet Russia) or emergent forms (emancipated Jews, dissidents, or anarchists). All share that role in social dramas that cast them as enemies of The State, The Church, The People, or Humanity. In this seminar we will begin to explore the array of social rituals, routinized practices (like rumors and media-oriented lynching) and institutions that have been developed specifically in order to name such specters and summon them publicly. We will examine, among others: trials, conspiracy theories (as a mode of recounting a presence that is constantly putting the specter back in), investigative committees, inquisitorial tribunals. We will examine how such social rituals and routinized practices and institutions give us unique opportunities to examine what conceptions of society, of relationships good and evil, and of justice underlie political orders, how they codify and pursue them, and what historical processes these enactments trigger or shape. We’ll focus on cases from early modern and modern societies, with an eye towards the emergence and stabilization of republican order.

While we will read some practical “how to” literature and models, the focus will be on writing, workshopping material, and discussing process (time-management, organization, etc). Both out-of-class assignments and in-class writing exercises should serve to extend your ideas—or shake them loose—and bring you closer to a dissertation that represents your vision, makes others want to read your work, and reminds you why you care. By the end of the year, you will have a polished dissertation prospectus and should have submitted at least one article for publication (or have one close-to-ready for submission). Above all, the seminar offers a supportive community, an opportunity to try out ideas (cooked or still raw), and encouragement from your fellow scholar-writer-thinkers as you progress toward your orals and dissertation.

European Union Human Rights: Law & Polic
EU Human Rights: Law & Po
The European Union (EU) has a deep and broad commitment to the respect and promotion of human rights, both in its internal and its external policies. However, it often faces difficulties in living up to this commitment. In this course we will study the EU’s commitment to human rights as outlined in its founding Treaties, the role of its institutional actors in following up on this commitment, and the EU’s internal and external actions and policies in this respect. For the EU’s internal policies we will focus in particular on its non-discrimination policies as well as its migration policy. In the area of the EU’s external relations we will explore the role of human rights in the EU’s development cooperation, trade policy and humanitarian aid, as well as in the EU’s multilateral relations with other international organizations, both global (e.g. the United Nations) and regional (e.g. Organization of American States; African Union; Council of Europe; OSCE).

Diplomacy in Practice: the EU & the Worl
Diplomacy in Practice:EU/
This course introduces students to the practice of modern diplomacy through case studies of global and regional crises and the European Union’s responses to them. Students will examine how foreign policy is developed and implemented from the perspective of a professional diplomat.
The course begins with an overview of the history of EU foreign policy, followed by an introduction to the key institutions and instruments involved in external relations. Subsequent sessions will focus on case studies that illustrate the EU’s approach to various international partners: allies (including the transatlantic partnership and the UN system), neighboring regions (such as the Southern Neighborhood policy, the Eastern Partnership, and the European Political Community), and other global powers (including Russia, China, India, and Turkey). Additional topics include the war in Ukraine, conflicts in the Middle East (Libya, Syria, and the Middle East peace process), the Iran nuclear agreement, and the migration crisis.
Each case will explore the interplay among the EU’s foreign policy tools, including crisis management, defense and security, trade, financial aid, humanitarian assistance, and public diplomacy. The course concludes with a reflection on lessons learned and potential future directions for the EU’s foreign policy agenda and institutional framework.

Mothers
It might be an exaggeration to say that religion begins with mothers. More accurate, perhaps, would be the suggestion that birth being paradigmatic of all origins and beginnings, all creation stories, mothers might serve as the ultimate metaphorical resource to think religion (and a few other things). And then there is of course the Great Mother, the matriarchal origins of the divine, as well as the contested matriarchy at the origins of human society. We will consider as many mothers as we can, beginning with specific mothers, mothers like Eve and Hagar, and “Mother India” too. We will attend to Mary, Mother of God, and we will consider matricide and maternal infanticide too. We will learn about the “mother tongue” and African matriarchy. Throughout we will explore the mother and the maternal as religious and theoretical questions — with a little help from psychoanalysis’ mothers.

Politics in the European Union
This course provides an advanced introduction to the politics of the European Union and its member states. It explores the EU as a distinctive political entity shaped by both supranational and domestic political dynamics. Topics include theories of integration, the institutional architecture of the EU, debates about its democratic legitimacy, and the development of its socio-economic and foreign policy agendas. The second half of the course shifts focus to the internal politics of key member states, France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, and selected Central and Eastern European countries, examining how national dynamics intersect with broader European challenges. The course pays particular attention to sovereignty, immigration, and democratic backsliding as thematic entry points for comparative analysis.

COMPUTATIONAL POROMECHANICS
A fluid infiltrating porous solid is a multiphase material whose mechanical behavior is significantly influenced by the pore fluid. Diffusion, advection, capillarity, heating, cooling, and freezing of pore fluid, buildup of pore pressure, and mass exhanges among solid and fluid constituents all influence the stability and integrity of the solid skeleton, causing shrinkage, swelling, fracture, or liquefaction. These coupling phenomena are important for numerous disciplines, including geophysics, biomechanics, and material sciences. Fundamental principles of poromechanics essential for engineering practice and advanced study on porous media. Topics include balance principles, Biot’s poroelasticity, mixture theory, constitutive modeling of path independent and dependent multiphase materials, numerical methods for parabolic and hyperbolic systems, inf-sup conditions, and common stabilization procedures for mixed finite element models, explicit and implicit time integrators, and operator splitting techniques for poromechanics problems.
