Environmental Advocacy: From Interest to
What does it take to spark real environmental change? This course invites students to explore how advocacy influences environmental outcomes at the local, national, and global levels. From climate protests and community campaigns to policy negotiations and court rulings, students will examine how activists, scientists, and grassroots groups shape public discourse and government action.
Using case studies and comparative examples, including from the United States and China, the course looks at how environmental advocacy works across different political systems. Topics include environmental justice, the politics of science, institutional dynamics, and how visions for the future of nature are contested and advanced.
Ideal for students interested in sustainability, public policy, or civic engagement, the course emphasizes practical skills and critical thinking. Students will complete short writing assignments and a final project focused on a real-world advocacy effort of their choice. No prior experience with environmental policy is required--just a curiosity about how ideas become action.

Introduction to DBT
INTRODUCTION TO DBT
This course is designed to provide beginning familiarity with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), an evidence based psychosocial treatment initially developed for suicidal individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD). Students will be taught the primary theories, principles, and strategies that inform DBT. Students will also become familiar with the latest research on DBT for BPD. Lecture, demonstration, multimedia applications, and group discussion will be used as the primary teaching methods. DBT is a complex treatment with multiple facets. It is therefore not expected that a student will have full competence to deliver the treatment as a result of just this one course. However, this course will provide sufficient background and serve as a necessary prerequisite before using DBT in an applied setting.

INTRODUCTION TO DBT SKILLS
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based treatment that was originally developed for chronically suicidal individuals and is now the gold standard treatment for Borderline Personality Disorder. The treatment and its adaptations have since been proven through research to be effective across a wide range of disorders and behavioral problems which have at their core the issue of Pervasive Emotion Dysregulation. Students will be introduced to key theoretical concepts that inform the “spirit” of DBT, along with an overview of core treatment strategies as used within a DBT skills group. This course is focused on DBT skills, and will provide students with a basic understanding of the four DBT skills modules (Core Mindfulness, Interpersonal Effectiveness, Emotional Regulation, Distress Tolerance). The focus will be on the revised and expanded DBT Skills Manual released in late 2014. Through course assignments and in-class activities, students will have an opportunity to learn the content of the skills, as well as how to structure and conduct a DBT skills group. Students will develop a beginning understanding of standard comprehensive DBT, the particular function of each treatment component, (e.g., individual, group, consultation team, coaching) and how DBT skills relate to the other program components. The basic format of this course will include the Instructor's presentation of concepts and principles, group discussion, modeling, role-plays, and technique coaching. As a practice elective, the major focus is on skill development. As such, students are expected participate fully in in-class practice exercises and be receptive to feedback from their classmates.

Africa at the Table: African Diplomacy i
African Diplomacy-Global
This course examines diplomacy as a tool in crisis response, and in particular how African states use the Security Council, the architecture of the AU Peace and Security system, bilateral relationships, and ad hoc mechanisms as leverage. The cases are the Ethiopian civil war in Tigray, the displacement of African nationals due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and the disruption of African food and fertilizer supply lines during the Ukraine and Strait of Hormuz crises. Practitioners with direct experience of these crises will join the class to offer firsthand accounts of how events unfolded and decisions were made from multiple vantage points. The course treats crisis diplomacy as a bargaining process over agenda control, legitimacy, and operational access, rather than as a sequence of formal decisions. Having examined how diplomacy operates across existing institutional channels, the course questions what Africa's agency and its exposure in these crises reveal about the continent's readiness for a more central role in global security, and whether Security Council reform as demanded in the Ezulwini Consensus would meaningfully change the outcomes.

The Liberal International Order
The Liberal Int'l Order
This seminar will explore the origins, nature, and trajectory of the post-WWII liberal international order. What is it and how did it come to be? How does it differ from previous world orders? How long will it last, and what might follow it? The class will analyze the subject from various perspectives, blending history, theory, and policy. Over the course of the semester, students will conduct independent yet related empirical research projects to determine how the order has shaped national behavior and forecast what consequences may flow from its erosion. The seminar will thus be both an individual and a collective intellectual enterprise.
(Note: This course is open to SIPA students and Columbia and Barnard undergraduates intending to major in public policy. As a prerequisite for admission, students must have taken at least one of these courses at SIPA, Columbia, or Barnard: Foundations of International Security Policy, Current Debates in Global Affairs and Public Policy, or Introduction to International Relations.)

Psychology of International Relations
Psychology of Intl Relati
If international politics is governed by states as rational as our traditional theories assume, why does it appear so unpredictable in practice? Does this instability reflect the irrationality of decision-makers, or does it suggest that conventional theories have misunderstood the nature of rationality itself? This course begins from a simple but consequential premise: like all forms of politics, international politics is ultimately shaped by human beings. Although this observation may seem self-evident, its implications have often been overlooked because the state, rather than the individual, has traditionally served as the primary unit of analysis in international relations. The course therefore asks how a deeper understanding of the workings of the human mind can enrich our explanations of international conflict, cooperation, war, and peace.
The course explores the growing field of psychological approaches to international relations, examining how insights from psychology can refine existing theories and generate new explanations of international politics. Rather than surveying the field as a series of discrete topics, it is organized around a sequence of interconnected questions, with each week building on the problems raised in the previous one.

Impact Measurement and Management
Impact Measurement & Mana
As impact investing further embeds into the mainstream, Impact Measurement and Management (IMM) is its key differentiator, helping impact investors understand a company’s intention to create positive outcomes and impacts and the evidence it uses to demonstrate whether (“if”) the impact, value, or benefit is indeed being created, and importantly, in what ways (“how”) it is improving the lives of concerned stakeholders and the environment. This course reflects decades of progress by hundreds of organizations, agencies, institutions, thought leaders, and companies in every sector across the globe leading to the convergence and harmonization of key IMM tools and frameworks. Levering SIPA’s vast network, students will hear from many of these pioneers throughout the course. Understanding how to identify what to measure and how to measure and manage impact across space and time is critical to ensuring businesses and investors achieve their goals and make decisions that address the world’s most pressing social and environmental challenges. We will approach IMM through the entrepreneur/business perspective while understanding that understanding the investor perspective is key to harness impact finance. The goal of this course is to equip students with knowledge of the most valuable and widely accepted methods, tools, and best practices in the field and through applied practice, develop these skills as IMM practitioners with a critical lens and a systems-level understanding of impact measurement for ventures seeking investment and investors seeking opportunities.

International Seminar: Munich
Branding has become a hot topic. Many companies realize that they need to understand the financial value of their corporate brand and its products; manage brands strategically; and deliver implementations to customers that are relevant, differentiated and powerful to build an emotional bond and loyalty.This course shows you how this can be done. It familiarizes you with best practices in branding, from iPod and the launch of the Dove Campaign for Real Beauty to successful branding initiatives in financial, pharmaceutical, consumer goods, entertainment and a wide range of other companies.We will focus on three topics: brand strategy and valuation; visual identity and experiential branding; and organizational branding issues. You will be asked to complete a couple of individual exercises and homeworks during the course and be part of a final group project. No midterm. No final.The course is unique in many ways. First, it will be fun. Second, just like the topic itself, you will learn how to combine analytical and strategic thinking with creative development of ideas and implementations. You will be exposed to lots of cases of successful and some unsuccessful branding campaigns so that you learn what to do and what not to do in your own job. You will learn about frameworks and concepts and be equipped with methodologies and tools to manage a branding project. You will meet people from the branding industry, both from within companies and from external service suppliers, such as corporate identity firms, packaging designers, advertising firms and brand agencies. Finally, you will be participating in a group project that will bring it all together, focusing on a specific company of your choice.Hope to see you in the fall.

This course seeks to help students learn
how
to think, not
what
to think – we pursue fuller thinking by drawing on the broadest range of evidence from right and left, Arab, Israeli and Palestinian, Jewish and Muslim, and others. No questions are banned: all perspectives are open to challenge. What tools are required to engage, understand and be involved with improving the Israeli-Palestinian issue by acquiring greater intelligence, nuance, and awareness of the claims and sensitivities of both sides? Too often, American and European policymakers bring our own biases and blind-spots to the negotiating table, and do not understand the beliefs of local nations. Which leads to the question: How do policy practitioners help participants in the conflict move forward, while taking seriously the claims and cultures of the people involved? This course respects and meets the people involved in the conflict in their words, narratives, and deeds. The longest war in the Middle East is not only about that region: American university campuses, political parties, and different communities are being torn apart by slogans of “Zionism is racism”, “white colonial settlements”, “apartheid”, “globalize the Intifada”, and “Islam is terrorism”. Why does this conflict matter so much? How do we approach it with intellectual honesty, empathy, openness, facts and mutual respect?

It begins with a reexamination of major Northern/Western traditions in international jurisprudence and political theory as seen through the eyes of classical and modern political leaders and philosophers. It covers Realism, Liberalism, Socialism, and Fascism. It then broadens the lens to include thinkers from the global South, including Mao, Nehru, Senghor, Lee Kuan Yew and Biko, and explores how they have addressed the challenges of post-colonialism. In considering their international orders, we will discuss their insights into the connections among issues of order and justice, identity and legitimacy, peace and war, cooperation and conflict, intervention and independence, and international equality and inequality. We conclude with a discussion of Cosmopolitanism and Rawls’

This course serves as the foundation of the International Fellows Program (IFP), a year-long, interdisciplinary seminar examining the evolving role of the United States in global affairs. Drawing on history, policy, and current debates, the course explores how U.S. leadership has been shaped by ideology, military power, economic interests, and domestic politics—and how that role is being redefined amid global shifts and great power competition. Students will analyze key moments in American foreign policy, engage critically with foundational documents, and assess competing national security strategies in an election year context. Structured around weekly readings and team-led discussions, the course emphasizes active participation, policy application, and peer debate. The fall semester focuses on three core dimensions of U.S. foreign policy: human rights and values, the use of force, and transnational economic interests. IFP Fellows are expected to contribute meaningfully to class dialogue and leadership throughout the semester.

Methods for Sustainable Development Prac
This is the first of a two-course sequence for second-year students concentrating in Development and Governance (D&G), formerly Economic and Political Development (EPD). The second course is the Capstone Workshop in Sustainable Development Practice. These courses are integrated into a year-long encounter with the applied practice of sustainable development.
In this course, students will learn how to design, plan, implement, monitor, and evaluate development interventions by mastering the fundamental aspects of program management for development. The course is designed to help students develop a critical understanding of some of the key frameworks, tools, and approaches used by organizations in the field of development practice, and to encourage students to use these methods in an ethical and discerning manner, by recognizing their limitations and implicit assumptions while identifying areas for innovation. Development practice, after all, is inherently political. Over the last few decades, the field of sustainable development has changed dramatically as development practitioners increasingly perceive themselves less as knowledge experts – delivering top-down transfers of technical expertise and resources to beneficiaries – and more as knowledge facilitators, recognizing the importance of evidence-based decision-making, local ownership and accountability, and participation of poor and marginalized groups as citizens and partners. However, this transition has been uneven, and externally-driven, top-down approaches and policies persist. Development practitioners, therefore, need to be continually aware of the values, assumptions, and biases that they bring to their work and that are implicit in the resources, approaches, and tools they use.
This course also seeks to illustrate the application of theories and concepts introduced in other D&G core courses, and to highlight some of the political, practical, and ethical issues and challenges facing development practitioners working in low- and middle-income countries, especially in the context of recent drastic cuts in official development assistance (ODA). While the course considers both quantitative and qualitative methods, the emphasis is on widely-used project management tools, qualitative data-gathering techniques, and participatory approaches to engage local stakeholders in the process of social change. Case studies drawn from a variety of countries and sectors will anchor class discussions in examples of real-world situations, and wi
