Introduction to Network Science
Intro to Network Science
As a methodological tool and a theoretical paradigm, network analysis has been increasingly used in public health. This course introduces fundamental concepts in network science and complex systems, applications in public health, and quantitative skills in analyzing network data. The course centers around two themes – the structure and function of networked systems. We will delve into a variety of public health applications including climate and health, transmission of infectious diseases, diffusion of health behaviors, social networks, and exposome and health. Over the course, students will have hands-on excises and group projects to perform analysis on network data. Students are expected to gain an overview of current research topics on network analysis in public health and develop practical quantitative skills to analyze network data.

EXHIBITION CULTURES
Laurel Kendall. This course is a continuation of Museum Anthropology G6352 (not a prerequisite). Through the study of museum exhibitions, this course explores a series of debates about the representation of culture in museums, the politics of identity, and the significance of objects. We will consider the museum as a contemporary and variable form, as a site for the expression of national, group, and individual identity and as a site of performance and consumption. We will consider how exhibits are developed, what they aim to convey, what makes them effective (or not), and how they sometimes become flashpoints of controversy. Because the work of museums is visual, enacted through the display of material forms, we will also consider the transformation of objects into artifacts and as part of exhibitions, addressing questions of meaning, ownership, value, and magic. We will look at this range of issues from the point of view of practitioners, critics, and audiences. G6365 works in tandem with the exhibition project that will be developed in “Exhibition Practice in Global Culture” to produce a small exhibit at AMNH.

Journal Club in Molecular Epidemiology a
JOURNAL CLUB-MOL EPI&TOXI
The primary objectives in this course are to learn to systematically review and summarize primary research in molecular epidemiology and toxicology, to synthesize scientific evidence from both disciplines to establish weight-of-evidence, and to understand how this evidence relates to scientific decision making for improving health outcomes. In this course, we will evaluate 6 topics in environmental health, each for a 2 week (2 session) block. During the first week of each block, we will review and critique the human and experimental literature separately. During the second week of each block, we will integrate and synthesize this literature to describe the weight of evidence. By the end of the semester, students will improve their ability to formulate the weight of scientific evidence about current topics in environmental health and will be able to evaluate how this weight of evidence can inform environmental health decision making.

Principles of Genetics & the Environment
PRIN-GENETICS & ENVIRONME
Our fundamental understanding of genetics is constantly being challenged with new discoveries. This course will provide students with a deep knowledge of the principles of genetics, while exploring how new discoveries are changing our understanding of some basic principles. In addition, students will learn to appreciate how our underlying genetic makeup influences the effects of environmental exposures on human health. The course follows a logical progression: We will start with molecular genetics, describing the structure and function of genes and how gene expression is regulated. Next we will cover classical genetics, focused on modes of inheritance, both Mendelian and non-Mendelian. This will be followed by an overview of human genetics. We will end the course by learning about gene environment interactions, with a focus on some of the most common complex genetic diseases. For the most part students will learn basic principles through an understanding of the experiments that lead to their discovery. The format of the course is meant to be interactive. It will include didactic lectures, group work and critical evaluation of primary papers.

The Real Picasso
Picasso’s work is the great kaleidoscope through which 20th-century art passes: from its beginnings in Cubism through which the world is given as though through cut crystal; to the commercial forms of collage; to the presage of surrealist anguish; and, finally, to an untoward neo-classicism. The result of this restless exploration is the invention of multiple formal languages, which need to be deciphered in spite of the perverse literature on the subject which insists on transposing this into the art-historical language of iconography. The literature is rich with the analytic struggles between the great Picasso scholars: William Rubin, Leo Steinberg, and Picasso’s biographer, John Russel. The skirmishes over the “iconography” of cubism extends to the interpretation of the work’s relation to “primitivism.” This controversy has given rise to yet a new vector on Picasso’s work: structuralism and semiotics.

RELIGION & PUBLIC LIFE
There is no shortage of spilled ink, popular media coverage, scholarly inquiry, and academic institutes—including right here at Columbia University—dedicated to examining the intersection of religion and public life. From narratives of religion’s predicted decline during the twentieth century to its much-discussed global resurgence at the turn of the twenty-first, the concept of public religion continues to occupy popular imagination. Through the lens of public religion, we are able to examine pressing issues such as the revitalization of, or disillusionment toward, institutional forms and political establishments in our questionably secular age. What happens when religion “goes public”? Correspondingly, what assumptions about the category of religion and its role in public places do discussions of public religion promote? Over the course of the semester, we will investigate the possibilities, pitfalls, and practicalities of understanding religion in terms of public life.
The coursework will draw from scholarship, policy documents, and real-world case studies on issues ranging from climate crisis to conspiracy. Focusing on examples of advocacy, considerations of democratic renewal and decline, and competing claims of power and authority, this seminar considers the ways in which our definitions of religion impact lived, embodied, and practiced forms of religion and secularism in our current moment.

Communicating in Organizations
Communicating in Organizations is a survey course that explores aspects of day-to-day managerial communication relating to presentations and other high-profile moments and more familiar elements of interpersonal communication. The course uses many teaching techniques: short lectures, individual and group exercises, video-recorded presentations, role plays, case discussions, video clips, and writing assignments. It is highly experiential, with exercises or presentations scheduled in most sessions. Initially, we’ll focus on the communication skills and strategies that help you present your ideas to others. I’ll ask you to do two benchmark assignments―a letter and a brief presentation―to assess the abilities you bring to the course. In several of our class sessions, you’ll be the one “in front of the room,” delivering either a prepared talk or brief, impromptu comments. Such assignments will allow you to develop your skills as a presenter. I’ll also discuss the link between listening and speaking, showing you how developing your listening skills will improve your effectiveness as a speaker. And we’ll explore several elements of visual communication, including how to design effective visual aids and written documents. To communicate effectively in such roles as coach, interviewer, negotiator, or facilitator, you need to be skilled at listening, questioning, observing behavior, and giving feedback. We’ll practice each of these skills in-class exercises and assignments. The Social Style instrument will provide detailed feedback about how others view your communication style. You’ll discover how style differences may lead to miscommunication, missed opportunities, or mishandled conflict.

Quantitative Analysis II for Internation
Lecture
MPA Quantitative Core II.
This course introduces regression analysis as a key tool for policy analysis and program evaluation. Emphasizing causal inference, students will learn to assess the impacts of programs and policies using both experimental and non-experimental methods. The first half of the course reviews foundational concepts from Quant I and builds toward multiple regression techniques; the second half applies those tools to real-world policy settings. Designed for future practitioners, the course focuses on applying and communicating statistical concepts in accessible, non-technical language, and prepares students for advanced coursework in data analysis and program evaluation.
