The course offers the advanced practice student the opportunity to understand the process for selecting appropriate imaging modalities, and also challenges the student to develop novice-level competence in the interpretation of select diagnostic imaging of adults.
THEORIES OF WAR AND PEACE
In this course we undertake a comprehensive review of the literature on the causes of war and the conditions of peace, with a primary focus on interstate war. We focus primarily on theory and empirical research in political science but give some attention to work in other disciplines. We examine the leading theories, their key concepts and causal variables, the causal paths leading to war or to peace, and the conditions under which various outcomes are most likely to occur. We also give some attention to the degree of empirical support for various theories and hypotheses, and we look at some of the major empirical research programs on the origins and expansion of war. Our survey includes research utilizing qualitative methods, large-N quantitative methods, formal modeling, and experimental approaches. We also give considerable attention to methodological questions relating to epistemology and research design. Our primary focus, however, is on the logical coherence and analytic limitations of the theories and the kinds of research designs that might be useful in testing them. This course is designed primarily for graduate students who want to understand and contribute to the theoretical and empirical literature in political science on war, peace, and security. Students with different interests and students from other departments can also benefit from the seminar and are also welcome. Ideally, members of the seminar will have some familiarity with basic issues in international relations theory, philosophy of science, research design, and statistical methods.
LAW AND VIOLENCE: CRITICAL PERSPECTIVES
LAW/VIOLENCE: CRITICAL PE
Law is often considered to be the opposite of violence: Promising to deliver us from the cycles of violence preceding its arrival, it sets its task as the establishment of a normative order that sanctions arbitrary and illegitimate uses of violence, derives its legitimacy from our consent, and guarantees formal equality to everyone under its rule. Various critics have challenged this conventional understanding of law, however, and examined the numerous ways in which law finds itself entangled with the very violence that it aims to combat. They have pointed out how the enforcement of law often entails the use of coercion and force, that legal decisions involve legitimations of state violence, and that the provision of rights often goes hand in hand with the entrenchment of social inequality and domination.
Taking Walter Benjamin’s “Critique of Violence” as a focal point, this course examines a wide range of critical perspectives on the relationship between law and violence. Following our study of Benjamin, we turn to the deconstructionist perspectives represented by Jacques Derrida and Judith Butler. Then we move to the biopolitical critique developed by Michel Foucault, Giorgio Agamben, and Roberto Esposito. Following these continental perspectives, we turn to the American scene and read the criticisms developed by Robert Cover as well as Critical Legal Studies (e.g., Duncan Kennedy, Roberto Unger) and Critical Race Theory (e.g., Derrick Bell, Patricia Williams). In the final section, we examine three thinkers who strive to chart a path beyond the impasses we studied and navigate the aporias arising from law’s entanglement with violence (albeit in very different ways): Hannah Arendt, Jürgen Habermas, and Christoph Menke.

Building, Rebuilding, and Moving Temples
Rebuilding Temples Japan
This graduate seminar seeks to address impermanence as a salient feature in the history of Japanese architecture by examining the construction, restoration, and relocation of temples buildings and images in Japan during from the Kamakura through early Edo period (13th-17th c.). We will explore how the inherent tensions between old practices of periodic rebuilding (
shikinen sengū
) at Ise and other Shintō sanctuaries, on one hand, and the intended durability of Buddhist temples initially built according to continental East Asian standards, on the other, produced malleable architectural and institutional idioms perhaps unique to Japan. Although buildings will provide the primary framework for the course, we will also delve into parallel phenomena in sculpture and paintings created specifically for interior spaces. Reading knowledge of Japanese and/or Chinese would be helpful for some reading assignments but not essential for the course.

Nuclear Theory, Politics, and Strategies
Nuclear weapons are often considered to pose humanity’s gravest danger. Yet despite nuclear threats and crises, states have managed to avoid the deliberate or inadvertent use of nuclear weapons since the end of World War II. Eighty years after Hiroshima, how has nuclear war been avoided? Did the advent of nuclear weapons create a revolution in military affairs that stalemated major powers and dramatically reduced the prospects of great power war by the emergence of mutual vulnerability and mutual assured destruction (MAD) postures? Or are nuclear weapons central to great power competition and valuable instruments of force, including for deterrence and coercion? Is there a taboo against nuclear use? Do the major theories about the nuclear era match actual practice and how has nuclear theory evolved? Are the strategies and approaches that were employed in the past still appropriate for the new multipolar nuclear age? Why do some states acquire nuclear weapons while others that have considered going nuclear (e.g., South Korea and Germany) so far forego the option, while still others (e.g., South Africa and Ukraine) have given up their nuclear weapons? What are the prospects for continued nuclear proliferation and hedging (e.g., Iran)?
This class will explore past and current patterns of behavior among existing, potential, and former nuclear weapons states. Other questions that animate this course include: What do nuclear weapons actually deter? Can they be used for coercion? How do operational plans and force postures serve military and political objectives? What are the incentives, disincentives and risks of strategies premised on deliberate escalation to nuclear use? Do they increase the probability of inadvertent use of nuclear weapons? What role do nuclear weapons play in U.S. strategy and security policies? How does the U.S. experience compare to those of other nuclear weapon states, such as USSR/Russia, China, India, Pakistan, and North Korea? This seminar will examine such questions to gain a better understanding of the importance of nuclear weapons for international relations.

Firms in International Political Economy
Firms in IPE
Inspired both by advances in data availability and a growing scholarly appreciation for the political influence of the private sector, firm-level theories and research designs have grown increasingly popular among political economy scholars in recent years. While studying firms allows for the generation of new insights across a broad array of substantive topics, it carries with it several unique conceptual and empirical challenges. For example, how should we conceive of firms as political actors, given their organizational structures? What are firms’ policy preferences? How do they influence politics, and how can we measure their impact? In this course we will review political economy research that centers the firm as the actor of interest; particular focus will be given to recently published work that is innovative in terms of methodology, measurement, and/or data collection. While we will focus primarily on international political economy applications—for example, firm-level studies of trade, in-vestment, and commercial diplomacy—we will also cover less inherently international topics such as lobbying, environmental politics, and private governance/corporate social responsi-bility. In addition to providing preparation for the IR field exam, this course aims to give students the tools to conduct state-of-the-art political economy research at the firm level.

Homelessness, Public Health, and Public
HOMELESSNESS PUB HLTH POL
In what has become a near-throwaway line, millions of Americans face sustained residential instability.
At the extreme end are the street-dwelling homeless poor. Others are less dire: Growing numbers are
living cars and tents or other encampments, some of them officially “sanctioned” as surrogate homes.
Many more are doubling up. Nor is this a recent development: the pandemic may have thrown into sharp
relief the life-threatening consequences of losing one’s home, but the problem itself is decades old and
growing. The recent influx of migrants in NYC has provoked reconsideration of long-standing policy,
with an impact still be to be assessed. Increased attention to racial injustice has focused attention on both
the disproportionate racial impact of homelessness and its criminalization, especially with respect to the
overlap with psychiatric disorder. Popular perception to the contrary, mass homelessness has not always
been with us; nor has it ever shown the distinctive characteristics that it bears today.
This course will examine modern homelessness from the early 1980s to the present, scrutinizing its
evolution from urgent humanitarian crisis to a seemingly permanent, and increasingly criminalized,
feature of American urban life. We will examine its causes, complicating factors, and actual/potential
solutions, including a focus on legal issues, strategies, and the role that lawyers have played and can play
in addressing this critical social problem. We will consider strategies including litigation and legislative,
regulatory, and human rights advocacy. Our approach will be interdisciplinary, integrating legal issues
with readings and approaches from anthropology and public health, among other disciplines. We will
briefly consider homelessness across the US but place particular emphasis on its distinctive history –
civic and legal – as it is unfolding in New York City.
Readings will include court papers and cases, pending legislation/litigation (if any), ethnographic and
social science studies, research reports, and public health analyses, supplemented by video documentaries
and “field” exercises. Brief cameos by guest speakers – including advocates, people with lived experience
on the street, and veterans of proven service programs, usually by ZOOM –

Glob Menstrual Mov: Pol &
In recent years, a global movement has begun around menstruation, ranging from research and policies addressing the barriers that school girls may be facing in low-resource contexts, to initiatives fighting the on-going stigma experienced by girls, women and people with periods in high- and low resource contexts, to the advocacy focused on period poverty. How did this global movement begin? What is the existing evidence base for addressing menstruation as a public health issue? And what gaps remain? The purpose of this course is to provide students with a foundation on the topic of menstruation, including the existing research, program and policy approaches underway globally, to equip students with an understanding of the research methodologies most appropriate for understanding the experiences of those who menstruate, and the ways in which advocacy has served to shift attention to this fundamental issue. Students in this course will learn to analyze the current status of the global menstruation movement through debates, news media critiques, and a proposal addressing ‘new frontiers’ in menstruation. The course fits into the MPH curriculum in the Department of Sociomedical Sciences by increasing students’ knowledge and skills of key perspectives and approaches to research and intervention around menstruation that include social science theories.

Current Issues in Digital Presence & Pub
ISSUES IN DIGITAL PRESENC
This case study-based course explores the ways in which digital technologies and the internet act as mediators of access to health through access to information by evaluating and engaging with current challenges and policy debates.
Now more than ever, it is essential for public health students to understand and engage directly with the technical systems that underpin health equity challenges. At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, social media and search platforms began developing policies and tooling to strengthen public health information and service delivery. At the same time, more research emerged that examined the impacts of algorithmic recommendation systems and biases on public health outcomes. For public health communications leaders, this offered new pathways for intervention, and deeper understandings of how our information ecosystem can strengthen, or impede, access to health. Challenges and opportunities that these technologies pose to health equity are only increasing in importance as we continue to learn about artificial intelligence and its role in connecting people to health services, support networks, resources and information, and it is imperative for public health practitioners to engage in current debates around their use.
Through this course, students will critically examine the infrastructure behind ‘digital presence’ technologies, which we define as technologies that enable, mediate or inhibit, the participation of people and communities in digital environments. Each week, our class time together will focus on real world case study examples where public health efforts intersect with digital presence tools. Students will engage in asynchronous preparation ahead of weekly collaborative case study review sessions, learning through research and policy papers, popular press articles, and different forms of media relevant to current digital presence issues with consequences for public health.

It will be recommended for first-year students in particular, who will be expected to enter from GR8910 (the required first-year course) and with a topic and/or prospectus for the paper they plan to complete in the course. The aim of the course is to ensure that all PhD students complete one of their two research papers within the first year. This seminar is recommended for, and restricted to, PhD students in the History Department. The aim of the seminar is to guide and assist students in the completion of a 10,000-12,000 word research paper appropriate for publication in a scholarly journal. The seminar is not field-specific, and students may work on any subject of their choosing. The paper must however be based on primary source research and represents a substantial departure from earlier work. The assignments for the course are designed to help students complete a polished piece of work by the end of term.

Capitalism and Democracy
It is a common-place that the twentieth century ended with the establishment of capitalism and democracy as the “one best way”. In triumphalist accounts of the end of the Cold War the two are commonly presented as sharing a natural affinity. As never before the democratic formula was recommended for truly global application. To suggest the possibility of a contradiction between capitalism and democracy has come to seem like a gesture of outrageous conservative cynicism, or leftist subversion. And yet the convergence of capitalism and democracy is both recent and anything other than self-evident. It has been placed in question once again since 2008 in the epic crisis of Atlantic financial capitalism. This course examines the historical tensions between these two terms in the Atlantic world across the long 20th century from the 1890s to the present day.
