GRAD STUDENT & FACULTY COLLOQ
FEMINIST PEDAGOGY
This is a course is oriented to graduate students who are thinking about issues in teaching in the near and distant future and want to explore forms of pedagogy. The course will ask what it means to teach “as a feminist” and will explore how to create a classroom receptive to feminist and queer methodologies and theories regardless of course theme/content. Topics include: participatory pedagogy, the role of political engagement, the gender dynamics of the classroom, modes of critical thought and disagreement. Discussions will be oriented around student interest. The course will meet 4-5 times per SEMESTER (dates TBD) and the final assignment is to develop and workshop a syllabus for a new gender/sexuality course in your field. Because this course is required for graduate students choosing to fulfill Option 2 for the Graduate Certificate in Feminist Studies at IRWGS, priority will be given to graduate students completing the certificate.

ASTROPHYSICAL FLUID DYNAMICS
Modeling of fluids represents the most fundamental tool to understand our Universe. This course will provide an introduction to fluid dynamics and related topics with applications to astrophysics. We will develop fluid dynamics first from the macroscopic view (concept of “fluid element”), exploring general results as well as astrophysical applications. We will then examine the microscopic picture (the “kinetic picture”), showing an alternative way to derive the fluid equations. After a treatment of instabilities and turbulence, we will briefly explore plasma physics, moving finally to the ideal MHD limit and non-ideal MHD effects and exploring astrophysical applications. In addition, since much of the astrophysical research involving fluid dynamics is done through numerical simulations, a brief introduction to several key numerical concepts will be given by local experts, both in the fluid regime and in the kinetic regime.

DISSERTATION COLLOQUIUM
The dissertation colloquium is a non-credit course open to MESAAS doctoral students who have completed the M.Phil. degree. It provides a forum in which the entire community of dissertation writers meets, bridging the departments different fields and regions of research. It complements workshops outside the department focused on one area or theme. Through an encounter with the diversity of research underway in MESAAS, participants learn to engage with work anchored in different regions and disciplines and discover or develop what is common in the departments post-disciplinary methods of inquiry. Since the community is relatively small, it is expected that all post-M.Phil. students in residence will join the colloquium. Post M.Phil. students from other departments may request permission to join the colloquium, but places for non-MESAAS students will be limited. The colloquium convenes every semester, meeting once every two weeks. Each meeting is devoted to the discussion of one or two pre-circulated pieces of work (a draft prospectus or dissertation chapter). Every participant contributes at least one piece of work each year.

Financial Statement Analysis a
This course will provide students with hands-on experience analyzing financial statements. Students will learn about the general tools, theoretical concepts, and practical valuation issues of financial analysis. By the end of the course, students should be comfortable using firms' financial statements (along with other information) to assess firm performance and make reasonable valuation estimates.
Course content and organization In the first half of the course, we will develop a valuation framework that integrates a firm’s strategy, its financial performance, and the credibility of its accounting. The framework consists of the following steps:
1. Understand the firm’s strategy. We will assess the firm’s value proposition and identify its key value drivers and risks.
2. Accounting Analysis. We will assess earnings quality and evaluate whether the firm's accounting policies capture the underlying business reality. If not, we will adjust the accounting to eliminate GAAP issues and management biases.
3. Financial Analysis. We will evaluate current performance with accounting data and financial ratios.
4. Prospective Analysis: Forecasting. We will assess whether current firm performance is sustainable, and we will forecast future performance. In our forecasts, we will consider growth, profitability, and future competitive advantage.
5. Prospective Analysis: Valuation. We will convert our forecasts of future earnings and book values into an estimate of the firm’s current value.
In the second half of the course, we will apply the above framework to a variety of business valuation contexts, including IPOs, mergers, and equity-investment analyses.

Fundamental Analysis for Inves
Most of the decisions of analysts, consultants, entrepreneurs, investors and managers require us to look ahead and assess an uncertain future. In this class, you will learn a unique approach to decision making that will help you consider the fundamentals of enterprises and how to link these fundamentals to underlying measures, which in turn will help you make better investment or management decisions. Students who have taken this course often comment on how it has transformed their thinking and understanding of companies. It also serves as a useful “capstone” to the MBA program as we draw on what was taught in most core courses.
In developing this line of reasoning and performing the analysis, we consider how to think about a new business as well as a publicly traded company. Having considered the basic building blocks, we next examine how the business resources and activities are translated into financial statements (whether for an early stage or public company) and consider what we learn from financial statements. We consider the extensive information increasingly available from outside sources, including various websites as well as Bloomberg and CapIQ. We also consider how certain accounting measures and practices impact the measures of the key elements of the business.
Focusing on the future, we take a different approach to many topics/concepts that are covered in various ways in other financial statement analysis, earnings quality, and security analysis and valuation classes. Many students take this course as well as other seemingly similar courses, and we have never received any feedback that the coverage in this course is redundant, irrespective of the other courses taken by students.
We will focus on understanding how entities create or destroy value for various stakeholders and what it would take to change this, how to consider uncertainty more explicitly in plans, and whether this fundamental value is reflected in the price or not (for entities that it applies to).
We will also take some time each week to address any topics that are in the financial press that bear on the subjects and the approach.

Homer s Odyssey: Ruse and Narration
Homers Odyssey
A reading of Homer’s Odyssey with a focus on seminal episodes having to do with the
construction of the plot, and the intricate relationship between the Homeric narrator, his
characters, and internal and external audiences.
The Odyssey famously contains comparisons of its polytropos character (var.
reading polykrotos) to a poet, both explicitly (11.363ff.) and implicitly (19.203 with Hesiod,
Theogony 26-9). We will consider how the quality of being polytropos (including a tendency
towards ambiguity and indirection) factors into the ethics of narration in the poem, at every level
of the narrative. We will also consider the ethics of narration in the poem in relation to its
importance in the subsequent Greek rhetorical tradition. Archaic poetry, and the Homeric
poems, often suffer from the implicit bias associated with being the earliest extant Greek
literature, leading to the view that their content is naïve when compared against the literary
developments of the fifth century and the Hellenistic period. This seminar will approach
the Odyssey as a foundational text for Greek rhetorical culture, with particular attention to what it
offered the rhetorical culture of classical Athens.

Seneca Tragedy: Models, Motivations, Mea
This seminar aims to introduce students to the range and complexity of the tragedies composed by the eminent philosopher-politician, Lucius Annaeus Seneca (
c

Beyond our shared study of these highly allusive texts, a main goal will be to demonstrate that Seneca does not just write within a received tradition, but also uses remarkable artistic strategies by which to give new life to that tradition.

Scales of History
Every student of history must eventually reckon with questions of scale: What temporal and geographical boundaries are epistemologically defensible in a study? How long or short is the historical arc? How wide or narrow is the geographical scope? Does one approach one’s object of study from above or from below? What are the epistemic implications of working with anecdotes or cases, with planetary time or world-systems, with series, multiples, and sequences? This seminar is structured thematically around the problems of scaling historiography. It brings key texts from the historical disciplines (with special attention to art history and architectural history) to bear on such problematics as: the case study, the period, microhistory, world-systems, the
longue durée
, the anecdote, global and world history, seriality, and comparison. It is meant to be both a theoretical and a practical resource for those tackling the challenges of writing history. Weekly discussions will be driven by close readings of assigned texts.

COURSE DESCRIPTION AND LEARNING OBJECTIVES
The U.S. healthcare system is an enormously complex, trillion-dollar industry, accounting for approximately 18% of GDP. The healthcare sector is vast and covers multiple different players from patients, providers, payors, to bio/pharma developers and innovators. Each part of the healthcare sector brings a different set of business challenges that touch on aspects from Finance, Marketing, Operations, Accounting, and more. The healthcare industry is going through a transformation with the development of new technologies, increased sophistication and adoption of electronic medical records systems and data collection architectures, and new models of the delivery of care and payment systems. This tremendous dynamism is unmatched by any other industry and offers incredible opportunities for new business endeavors. This course provides students the opportunity to learn about i) approaches to doing consulting; ii) key considerations diving strategic decision-making in the healthcare industry; and iii) the chance to put these concepts to practice by working on a set of company-sponsored applied projects. Student teams of 5-6 people, with 3-4 MBA (CBS) students and 1-2 medical (CUIMC) students, will work hand in hand with the instructors and company representatives to achieve company goals through the practical application of fundamental core business practices. Through these projects, students will be exposed to the unique challenges and opportunities in the healthcare sector. Some examples of potential projects include:
For a pharmaceutical company, evaluate the commercial potential of a new therapeutic class.
Evaluate and identify improvement opportunities in the patient evaluation process of a clinical unit at CUIMC. Redesign the standard workflow ad evaluate the financial and operational impact of these changes.
Utilize consumer predictive analytics to guide marketing strategies for a biotech device.
The scope of sponsoring companies spans large firms in biotech and pharmaceuticals, smaller startups in healthcare analytics and/or biotech, large provider systems, as well as smaller clinics. Companies provide the project scope and relevant data, faculty provides guidance on best practices, and your team will provide the answers.
Throughout this course, students will execute on a healthcare project to:
Use tools and ideas from operations, business analytics, finance, marketing, and strategy to solve interesting and exciting business proble

Gross Anatomy
This intensive 15-week course during the first semester of the DPT curriculum provides students with detailed coverage of human anatomy through lecture and cadaver dissection. The focus of the course is on structure and the integral relationship between structure and function. A comprehensive understanding of normal structure and function provides the foundation for understanding abnormal structure and function. Both the lecture and laboratory components of the course are critical to success in the program and as a competent entry-level clinician.
This course uses a regional approach to study the gross anatomical structures of the human body, with emphasis on the musculoskeletal system and its associated vascular and neural elements. The structure of synovial joints and their soft tissue support systems will be addressed. The thoracic, abdominal, and pelvic cavities will be explored. Aspects of structure and function as they relate to clinical correlates will be highlighted throughout the course.

Modern Middle East: Themes in Current Re
This course is open to Ph.D. students and advanced M.A. students conducting research on
aspects of the modern, culture, politics, and history of the Middle East and adjacent regions. Its
temporal focus is the three centuries from roughly the mid-eighteenth to the mid-twentieth
century, but those whose research deals with other periods are welcome to participate.
The course has three aims. The first is to provide an opportunity to read and engage with some
of the more recent scholarship in the field, especially work published in the last ten years,
organized around several current academic debates. The second is to provide a seminar in
which those preparing a master’s paper, M.Phil. examination list, or Ph.D. prospectus, or a term
paper intended for conference presentation or publication, can develop and present a draft of
their work. We will choose readings to accompany each paper, focusing on recent scholarship
that informs or extends the issues addressed in the research. The course will enable students to
clarify and test the questions that shape their work and better situate them within current
scholarship. The third aim is to train students in the art of framing questions and shaping
debate for an advanced, reading-intensive graduate-level seminar.
The course is intended primarily for MESAAS students. Those from other departments are
welcome but require the permission of the instructor to enroll.

Advanced Pharmacology
ADVANCED PHARMACOLOGY
The goals of this course are to provide students with a basic knowledge and understanding of the actions of drugs in order to enable them to use therapeutic agents in a rational and responsible manner in patients. Initially, basic principles of pharmacology will be reviewed, including absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of drugs by the body. Drug-receptor interactions will also be presented and illustrated with appropriate examples. The focus of these lectures will be case-based whenever possible to demonstrate the therapeutic application of these pharmacologic principles and how this translates into efficacy and potential toxicity.

Business Analytics II: Foundations of AI
Business Analytics II: AI
This course extends and deepens the material you learned in business analytics. We will apply these methods in more unstructured and diverse situations, introduce new analytics tools and methods (including Tableau Visualization, text mining, and random forests), and study a modern framework for overfitting reduction called regularization that underlies much of modern machine learning. This course does not require coding or knowledge beyond Business Analytics, but the mathematical sophistication level will be somewhat more advanced.
