PRE-ATLANTIC SLAVERY AFRICA AND SOUT
PRE-ATLANTIC SLAVERY - AF
This seminar on pre-Atlantic Slavery in Africa and Asia will focus on the history of captivity and bondage in modern and the premodern Africa. Conceptually, what is the difference between a captive and a slave? How has captivity been central to the history of social difference and state formation in premodern Africa? By introducing the student to the history of trade in captives within Africa and across the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean, the student will be encouraged to rethink premodern Africa as central to premodern world history rather than marginal to it.

BLACK GEOGRAPHIES: A PLACE FOR BLACK STU
BLK GEOGR A PLACE FOR BLK
This Ph.D. seminar explores the inextricable connection between blackness and geographic inquiry by exploring the intersections of Black Studies and Geography. Considering Katherine McKittrick’s claim that Black geographies are ‘
the terrain
of political struggle itself’ or
where
the imperative of a perspective of struggle takes place,” we will situate the spatial relations of blackness by placing Black people at the core of spatial production and examine the mechanisms by which this takes place. In this course we ask: what are the limitations
and
possibilities of traditional geographies and how does Black study attend to these boundaries? How does Black geographic thought produce wider material and conceptual space for geographic knowledge? How does Black Studies account for and understand Black spatial condition, experience, and imaginaries?

INTRODUCTION TO DRAMATURGY
This course provides an introduction to major schools of thought about play structure and the practice of dramaturgy in the western theatre. Through directed readings and an ongoing practical project centered around one play, students will develop a deeper understanding of how dramatic writing functions as a blueprint for a life on the stage, and a refined vocabulary to describe story structures and dramatic writing techniques. By learning to view and question a play from a kaleidoscopic range of angles, students will enhance their abilities to take a printed text onto the live stage.

FOUNDATIONS IN GRIEF THERAPY
This course is designed to prepare social workers for clinical work with bereaved families. We emphasize the idea that grief therapy focuses importantly on active listening linked to interventions that provide validation, support or guidance. We provide a way of understanding grief using an attachment theory model that explains a big-picture framework for understanding grief and adaptation to loss. The centerpiece of the course is a presentation of an approach to grief therapy derived from our efficacy-tested treatment for complicated grief and incorporating attention to self-care, racism, ethical obligations and dilemmas and using peer or experienced supervision in doing grief therapy.

Political Economy of Finance
This course provides an introduction to the political economy of finance, trade, and international monetary policy, presenting both theoretical perspectives and more policy-oriented concerns. The course requires no knowledge of formal economic models, but it does presume familiarity with basic concepts in open economy macroeconomics and finance. Students without this background may find several sections of the course very difficult. The course has three main sections. The first examines the political economy of the global monetary system. We begin by surveying the evolution of international monetary arrangements from the gold standard period to the present day. Then we analyze the difficulties posed by floating rates and capital mobility as well as the global imbalances that have been frequent features of contemporary times. In addition, we examine the Euro crisis and trace its origins to the establishment of the monetary union. The second section examines the political economy of trade policy, focusing on its links to international monetary affairs. In addition, it explores commercial policy and the recent turn to protectionism led by the United States. The final section considers financial crises, with a special focus on the Asian financial crisis of 1997/98 and 2007/08 global crisis that had its origins in the United States.

It offers an introduction to the social scientific study of East Asia, with special attention to China, Japan, the two Koreas, and Taiwan. With the aid of guest presentations by faculty and scholars affiliated with the Weatherhead East Asian Institute, we will explore critically some of the major conceptual and methodological concerns that inform social scientific scholarship in the region. A linked aim for the course is to support students as they choose and develop topics and research designs for their M.A. theses. To that end, the course includes sessions introducing key resources and tools for research, as well as collaborative workshops designed to help students frame and draft thesis proposals.

Longitudinal Data Anal &
Panel data or longitudinal data consist of multiple measures over time on a sample of individuals. These types of data occur extensively in both observational and experimental studies in social, behavioral, and health sciences. This course will provide an introduction to the principles and methods for the analysis of panel data. Whereas some supporting statistical theory will be given, emphasis will be on data analysis and interpretation of models for longitudinal data. Problems will be motivated by applications primarily in social sciences.
EU Policymaking & New Global Challenges
EU Policymaking-Global Ch
This course explores the process of EU policy-making - how and why certain public policies are pursued by the institutions of the European Union - and analyses what the Union is doing to address a number of major policy challenges in today's interdependent world. After providing a general introduction to the overall policy process in the EU - looking at how policies are born, adopted, enacted, implemented and reviewed - this term's course will examine the specific policy agenda of the current European Commission (2019-24), led by Ursula von der Leyen, and do a 'deep dive' into EU action in three areas: the fight against climate change, the development of a 'digital Europe', and the EU response to the on-going coronavirus crisis. It will identify the key characteristics of these policies, assess how far they are succeeding or failing, and ask what they show about the evolving EU political system. The course will round off with an assessment of the growing emphasis on strategic foresight in the EU policy-making and identify new policies that are likely to be developed in coming years. Taught from a practitioner perspective by Anthony Teasdale, Director General of the European Parliament's research service, the course aims to provide a firm grounding in modern EU policy and should appeal to those interested both in EU politics and in the individual policy issues under discussion.

Worldmaking in the Long Poem
In this seminar we will take as our topic the long poem and the worlds, exterior and interior, that it both perceives and creates. Following some initial conceptual work to pin down the genre (if that’s the right word for it) as it developed before modernism, the heart of the course comes in the close study of three main examples in their entirety:
The Seasons
by James Thomson,
The Task
by William Cowper, and
The Prelude
by William Wordsworth. These major English poems, which date to the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, are all about growth, and they are in truth really, really long. They just keep growing and growing. They push, you might say, against their finitude. We will confront their too-much-ness and figure out how to think and feel about it, but also how to work with it, how to ride it. From week to week we will ask how the expansiveness of these authors relates on the one hand to their smaller-scale poetic techniques and on the other to their grand social, environmental, philosophical, and spiritual ambitions. The sheer energy these works demand of their readers can (this is the gamble of the long poem) make experiencing them deeply meaningful. In their own time they became tremendously influential models, radically reshaping what poetry could do and be, and they still have much to teach critical readers and creative writers today. Interspersed among the main examples on the schedule will be a few other (shorter!) poems from the same period. Along the way, although our focus will stay on primary texts, we will sample several different works of exemplary criticism. And we will end our semester with a glance ahead to the twentieth-century long poem. Active contributions (in and out of class) to discussion, a short paper, and (of course) a long paper make up the required coursework.

Lanyer, Cavendish, and Hutchinson
Lanyer, Cavendish, Hutchi
This seminar will address the major works of Aemilia Lanyer (1569-1645), Margaret Cavendish (1623-73), and Lucy Hutchinson (1620-81). There are many differences between the three writers: one was a royalist, one a republican and one something in between; one was largely indifferent to religion and the other two were devoted Protestants; two were active in print, one only in manuscript; two were skilled linguists, and one only read English (or so she claimed). Yet they also had a surprising amount in common: all three were actively involved in the central political conflicts of their time and suffered losses, imprisonment, harassment, and/or exile because of their political views; two (Cavendish and Hutchinson) wrote accounts and defenses of (their positions in) the English civil wars (and contributed to political thought and historiography more broadly); two (also Cavendish and Hutchinson) were actively engaged with and contributed to debates in natural philosophy; and all three were astonishingly original, and creative writers of literary, philosophical and polemical texts. Students will discuss many aspects of these three writers’ work, including the books they read as well as those they wrote; the genres to which they were committed (and in which they innovated); the household, local, national and international contexts in which they worked and in which their work was received; and their interlocutors and critics. While the three authors will be the explicit focus of the class, we will also discuss the idea of “the woman writer” - one which deserves our skepticism.
