International Capital Markets
INTERNATIONAL CAPITAL MARKETS
The course will acquaint you modern international capital markets. You can expect to learn a substantial amount of up-to-date detail and some useful theory. Specifically, we will survey global markets for credit, equity, foreign exchange, foreign exchange derivatives, futures, interest rate swaps, credit default swaps and asset backed securities. In each case, we will learn the highlights of payments and settlement, documentation, regulation, applications for end-users, related economic theory and pricing models. The class will cover options and asset pricing theory; however, the treatment will be informal and designed to help develop intuition. One lecture each will be devoted to international banking (with an emphasis on changing capital regulation), investment banks, and hedge funds.

ACTUALLY EXISTING SOCIALISM
ACTUALY EXISTNG SOCIALISM
In the wake of the Second World War, the Soviet Union for the first time knew itself to be strong enough to survive in a hostile world. And it not only survived but, defying enemy’s expectations that only Stalin’s “totalitarian” terror prevented collapse, thrived, evolving into a unique form of life: so-called "actually existing socialism." This seminar surveys the social worlds and cultural imaginaries of the post-War period, a period only just beginning to be seriously examined by historians and to receive synthetic conceptualizations. Doing so will be our task. We will steer a course between social and intellectual history, between mass consumption and high culture, to examine multiple sites of the evolution of Soviet society—education, youth culture, consumption, mass media, criminality, underground literature, unofficial art, science, etc. We will aim to theorize the multiplying positions that Soviet citizens could construct and enact with respect to the changing world they lived in and the communist project—constantly redacted, regimented but irreducibly polysemic—by which it patterned, measured, and legitimated itself. Open to undergraduates with instructor permission.

GLOBAL MEDIA:INNOVATION&ECON;
The world of media continues to change quickly. Legacy media outlets are struggling with their role in this new world and working to make more use of technology. Media starts ups find it hard to build audience, get sustained attention and establish credibility. Everyone worries about how they will be able to fund newsgathering and what future business models will look like. This course will explore some of the possibilities for innovation and discuss how new practices can help address some of the difficulties faced by journalists. We will consider what it takes to create new sites or tools that can actually find funding and we will meet different journalists and experts involved in some of the projects springing up around the world. By the end of this course, students will understand the basics of some media theory and scholarship and be able to speak knowledgably about the journalism climate in many different countries. Students will also be familiar with some of the changes brought about by technological innovation as well as how to analyze the successes and failures.

CLEAN ENERGY FINANCIAL INNOVATION
Prerequisites: INAF U6072 or SUMA PS5155 or
Clean Energy Financial Innovation will focus on the financing of clean energy generation, energy efficiency and energy storage. The course is complimentary to International Energy Project Finance (INAF U6040) and not intended to have substantial overlap. Instead, Clean Energy Financial Innovation will cover those transaction and financing structures outside traditional utility scale project finance. Clean Energy Finance will focus upon the fragmented distributed generation and energy efficiency sectors where portfolio approaches and other innovative techniques are required. Such financing structures often require a combination of project finance techniques, securitization and other structured finance skill sets. The objective of Clean Energy Finance is to introduce students to asset deployment market participants and business models, key contractual arrangements, capital structuring techniques, private market precedents and criteria, public market precedents and criteria, and the at financing frontier transaction types that have yet to be financed but that offer tremendous potential. Students completing the course should have a broad understanding of clean energy deployment transaction types, example participants, precedent transactions, methodologies for considering the viability of transaction types and financing structures, and investor requirements.

STRATEGIC MGMT-INFO&COMM; TECH
Strategic Management of Information and Communication Technologies for the Public Good” addresses the spectrum of policy issues, options, and critical decisions confronting senior managers in the public sphere. Classes will be taught by a combination of lecture, readings, and case. Each class will address policy, technical, and managerial challenges for a particular domain of practice from the introduction or use of established and leading-edge information and communication technologies (ICTs), among them cloud, mobile and social. Arenas may include, for example, health, education, energy, economic development, transportation, civic engagement, law enforcement, human resources, social services, transportation, or compliance and regulatory affairs. The cases will involve a variety of managerial dilemmas and decisions, from governance to transparency, performance management to project management, and be generalizable across multiple domains, arenas, and technologies. Our goal is to expose students to the broadest range of policy challenges, and technologies comprising ICTs in use in the principal domains of practice, giving students a comprehensive exposure to the issues and opportunities as managers encounter them today - and will in the very near future. The course is intended for general, non-technical managers and assumes no engineering capability greater than plugging in a USB stick.

SOCI THEORY&CONTEMP; QUESTIONS
Prerequisites: the instructor's permission.
This course is designed for students in their first-year of the MA program in the Department of Anthropology. In it, we will explore the generative tensions within concepts of ‘the social' that have animated anthropological theory since its earliest days. Combining canonical texts with contemporary ethnography, explore foundational questions about the making and valuing of kinds of humans (and convivial non-humans) and about the production, aggregation, and disaggregation of their collectivities. Ultimately we consider the recent turn to theories of life itself in light of these longstanding questions, and along the way, we will encounter such varied ‘big thinkers' of collective life as Engels, Durkheim, Levi-Strauss, Foucault, and Harraway. We will range over a varied territory of ethnographic topics-from intimacy and personhood, to suicide, to nature/culture-each of which richly illustrates the productive problems of personhood, sociality, commensurability, and history for which anthropological theory strives to account.
