Medieval and Renaissance Philology for MA students.
Public health is a science-based discipline that depends on the analysis of empirical data to guide decision making. Public health decisions also involve value judgments and questions that cannot be answered solely, or primarily, with data. The goal of the Foundations Studio is to equip students with a set of conceptual frameworks and analytic tools for making those judgments and answering those questions. Comprising concentrations on history, ethics and human rights, this studio views public health practice and policy through a wide-angle lens and encourages students to think broadly about the social, political, cultural, legal, and economic drivers of public health outcomes. The studio is designed to help students grapple with challenging issues of justice, equity, individual rights and liberties, and collective action; and to develop a critical capacity for thinking broadly and deeply about public health issues.
Seminar surveying the history and the social, political, and economic impact of media from the birth of the newspaper forward.
Directing is the art of articulating and sharing vision. This course will explore how directors locate the deep “why” behind their work, both their oeuvre and their individual projects, and how that “why” translates into every element of production: design, casting, direction of the actors, and producing choices. We will study the articulation of vision through both the macro and micro lens: how directors develop the big vision behind a project and also how directors communicate vision in the moment to moment work of a rehearsal process. The first part of every class will be devoted to the macro: articulation of vision. We will study master directors and the way they translate intention into aesthetic choices and process. We will learn a process of excavating the deepest intentions of the author (be that the playwright, an auteur director, or a collective) and integrating those intentions thoughtfully into all other production choices. And we will practice articulating the vision behind a dream project. The second part of each class will be a practicum exploring the communication directors use when working with actors to craft scenes. Students will apply fundamental directing skills through a progression from silent scenes to neutral scenes and finally scenes of their own choosing.
Successful public health studies, policies, and interventions rely on evidence to guide their design, development, implementation, and evaluation. Because public health is not a simple, reactive, “take the pill three times a day” solution, but a purposeful approach to preventing disease and promoting health, the tools of scientific inquiry to document, measure, evaluate, and understand all the consequences of health interventions are essential. Learning to identify, gather, and interpret evidence is therefore crucial for public health practitioners. The Research Methods & Applications studio provides an introduction to scientific inquiry and evidence and their relationships to public policy. Using an integrated approach spanning multiple disciplines, students will be provided with a basic introduction to quantitative and qualitative measurement and data collection, tenets of epidemiologic study design, statistical inference and data analysis techniques, and the tools of science. Views on the differences between scientific and other types of inquiry and knowledge, classical models of how science and evidence can inform policy and programs, and sources of tension at the science- policy interface will be explored and discussed. The methods introduced in this course will provide a toolkit with which to help measure and estimate the relationships between the smaller pieces that comprise the complex and dynamic web of systems in public health.
This course will introduce students to the global context of CSR through comparative business perspectives. After considering the theoretical frameworks for undertaking CSR activities the course will addresses a number of public policy issues facing globalizing companies through a series of case studies. Under examination is the manner in which business and ethical considerations have impacted upon different social, labor, and environmental challenges. We will be asking students to consider: to what extent such factors have been, and will be, part of the corporate strategy decision-making process; why companies are having to adapt (or not) to different pressures; and whether they might sometimes be going above and beyond the standards required by regulation.
Prerequisites: PHYS W4021-W4022-W4023, or their equivalents. Fundamentals of statistical mechanics; theory of ensembles; quantum statistics; imperfect gases; cooperative phenomena.
This course is designed to acquaint students with the basic protections and restrictions of the law as they apply to the media. First Amendment rights and legal responsibilities and limitations will be examined and discussed. The course will look at these questions from three viewpoints: from (i) the practical view of a journalist doing his job and (ii) from a legal perspective, all the while (iii) considering the rules in a public policy context: are they fair and appropriate in our society? Significant court cases and fundamental legal rules will be explored in the context of political and historical realities, and in terms of journalistic standards and practices; contemporary media law issues will also be focused on. Among the basic First Amendment issues which will be examined are libel, invasion of privacy, prior restraints, newsgathering and newsgathering torts, copyright and the reporter's privilege.
Prerequisites: PHYS W4021-W4022, or their equivalents. The fundamental principles of quantum mechanics; elementary examples; angular momentum and the rotation group; spin and identical particles; isospin; time-independent and time-dependent perturbation theory.
The master’s project will be your most sustained effort during your time at the journalism school, encompassing both fall and spring semesters. It’s not a thesis in the traditional academic sense; think of it instead as an in-depth exploration of a topic as a journalist would pursue it. Master’s projects can take a variety of forms, some of them incorporating elements from more than one medium: print, photo, audio, video, data. Regardless of format, you’ll work on your project under the guidance of an experienced advisor, who will help you to hone your topic, figure out your reporting strategy and serve as your editor for the duration of the project.
