INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS LAW

This course introduces the fundamental concepts and problems of international human rights law. What are the origins of modern human rights law? What is the substance of this law, who is obligated by it, and how is it enforced? The course will cover the major international human rights treaties and mechanisms and consider some of today's most significant human rights issues and controversies. While the topics are necessarily law-related, the course will assume no prior exposure to legal studies.

SOLITUDE AND THE CREATION OF SELF

SOLITUDE AND SELF

This seminar examines the emergence of the private, discrete self in novels and stories from Jane Austen to Edith Wharton. In many of these texts, there are keys scenes in which the protagonist remains totally alone and isolated, or experiences the world in a way that is purely personal and solitary. Under these pressures, the character emerges more fully, completely and intensely than the society around or the world of relationships. The knowledge gained, the desire felt, become more powerful and dramatic than in many of the social scenes. In other texts, pure solitude creates schism and confusion in the self, thus creating a dark drama of fracture and division.

INT'L POLITICAL ECONOMY IN PRACTICE

This course will examine how politics influence the economic relations between states, and the implication of this evolving international structure for national policy choice and domestic politics in general. It will address major current debates in the field by using analytical and methodological insights from political science and economics. It will mainly tackle six issue areas: international trade, global financial crises, money and exchange rates, international migration, globalization, and foreign aid. Some of the questions that we will ask in this course include why do some countries adopt protectionist policies whereas others embrace free trade? What role do domestic and international factors play in the international monetary and financial order? Who wins and who loses from globalization of trade and finance? This course complements and builds on INAF U6820: Theory of International Political Economy (not a pre-requisite). The emphasis of the course is not upon the technical aspects of international economics or economic theory, but rather upon the political and institutional context in which they operate.

19THC LIT AND SCIENCE

This course will explore how 19th century American authors registered the transformation of natural history into the sciences of life. During that period, the fixed classifications of beings were destabilized by new sciences-- chemistry, biology and pathology--that emphasized process and transformation, and traditional, herbal methods of healing, predicated on studies of anatomy, were replaced by the clinic. With the emergence of experimental medicine, discourses of life and personhood changed, profoundly affecting law, theology, philosophy and literature. At the same time, as scientific discourses concerning the vital were being transformed, the American authors we will read were changing their understanding of what the natural is, and proposing a series of cosmological, poetic and ethical responses to the idea that life is common
not only
to all creatures but in fact to all phenomena. Most of our authors adopted a vitalist and materialist understanding of life, which led them to understand the boundaries of individual phenomena as porous and environmental. Such vitalist accounts of the world explored matter as indistinguishable from life, interpreting it as both germinal and formative: beings emerge out of an ocean of agitated matter that gives them form and to which they return, as if reimmersing themselves in unmodified, impersonal, and infinite life. However, although the authors we will be interested in share some version of the major faith that matter is inherently dynamic and vitalized, their accounts of just what that means differ considerably. They sometimes take the form of cosmologies that understand the earth as sensuous, and even, in the case of Poe and Melville, composed of little brains; at other times they render vegetal life capable of perception and inherently sensuous, and end up discussing modalities of vegetal happiness (as is the case with Thoreau, Whitman and Dickinson), or consider the organic and inorganic to be composed of the continuous flow of qualia (Draper). The course will explore a variety of theories that propose life as material but our interest will be less in cosmological than ethical and ecological questions. We will want to know the consequences of such accounts of matter for our understanding of the human; we will inquire into what counts as personhood for those authors, as well as what kind of ethics and politics they formulate on the basis of their materialist ontologies.
We will analyze such debates through the work of major 19th century American

UNCONVENTIONAL MONETARY POLICY

Prerequisites: SIPA U6401
Corequisites: INAF U6018 & INAF U6022
The course begins with a review of central banks’ monetary policy goals and objectives, followed by an overview of how central banks set and implement monetary policy in normal economic and financial market conditions.  The bulk of the course will focus on how central banks adapt their policy rules and tools in the face of extraordinary financial market or economic turmoil.    Different types of unconventional tools will be discussed and analyzed, with particular focus on the design and the effectiveness of various unconventional policy tools.    Examples of the use unconventional policy tools – both more and less successful – across jurisdictions will be discussed in the latter half of the course.   The course finishes with discussions of several important, and timely dilemmas:  where is the “line” between unconventional monetary policies and traditional fiscal policy actions;  what difficulties do central banks face in handling economic side effects and the political consequences of extraordinary policy,  and what are the challenges of  returning monetary policy to (a new) normal.

MONITORING AND EVALUATION

This course will go beyond technical or methodological materials (i.e. how to collect and analyze data) and instead focus on how M&E practically applies to day-to-day responsibilities of practitioners, regardless of their position title, and how anyone can (and should) become an effective producer and consumer of data and thus an impactful contributor in the field of international development and humanitarian assistance. For students interested in a career in M&E, this course will help them recognize and address some of the common challenges they will face at work (e.g. how to convince and collaborate with the chief of party to invest in and run effective M&E). For students who are interested in non-M&E career tracks, this course will help them do their jobs better and help the development and humanitarian fields overcome “pilot-itis” and become more evidence-driven. Students should also understand that they are likely to take on different roles throughout their careers, which may involve M&E - this course will prepare them to become versatile and impactful players in this challenging but meaningful line of work.

POSTCOLONIAL THEORY AND DECOLONIZATION

POCO THEORY& DECOLONIZATN

This course will examine the major debate, contested genealogies, epistemic and political interventions, and possible futures of the body of writing that has come to be known as postcolonial theory, in relation to histories and practices of decolonization. We will examine the relationships between postcolonial theory and other theoretical formations, including poststructuralism, feminism, environmentalism, Marxism, Third Worldism, and the decolonial. We will also consider what counts as “theory” in postcolonial theory: in what ways have novels, memoirs, or revolutionary manifestos, for example, offered seminal, generalizable statements about the colonial and postcolonial condition? How can we understand the relationship between the rise of postcolonial studies in the United States and the role of the U.S. in the post-Cold War era? How do postcolonial theory and its insights about European imperialism contribute to analyses of mid-twentieth century decolonization, contemporary globalization, and "decolonial" discourse in the present?

MESSAGING POLICY IN THE DIGITAL AGE

MESSAGING POLICY-DIGITAL AGE

Blogs, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and other social media platforms engage millions of users globally and while it’s tempting to dismiss social media, the reality is that it fundamentally changed strategic communication. Using social media, employees acting on behalf of governments, corporations and nonprofits incite people to take action, or support causes. Social media can also taint reputations and impede messaging . Today, no sector is free from the pressure of using and reacting to social media. Over the seven-week course, students will be expected to critically assess scholarly work and develop informed opinions on messaging in the digital age. As well as developing a theoretical understanding of social media, students will use various social media applications like Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat to analyze, evaluate, and develop social media campaigns as part of a portfolio project. In this class we’ll look back -- to look forward. We’ll look to what Aristotle can teach us about Snapchat, if one is to convey a message with a :30 second video, where do ethos, pathos and logos fit in? What can Alexis de Tocqueville teach us about twitter and the participatory nature of citizenship? This is a course for students pursuing careers in the public or private sector and it is suitable for anyone who will be involved in the decision process of where social media fits into a strategic communication plan. Practical topics we will discuss: What are the implications of new digital communication technologies for organizations? For individuals? What are the incentives for participating? How do you define success of a social media campaign? Student who take this course will become familiar with: Changes in strategic communication brought about by new digital technologies; Methods to effectively craft, deliver and amplify social media messages to key audiences; Research approaches that can be applied to implementing and evaluating social media based strategic communication; Ethical questions related to social media-based strategic communication; The ability to assess and use communication strategies to address diverse audiences that inform and influence individuals, organizations and community.

Writing and Delivering Speeches

WRITING & DELIVERING SPEECHES

This introductory course is aimed at teaching the fundamentals of persuasive speechwriting for the public and private sectors, NGOs, and international organizations. Students will learn how to apply the classical canons of rhetoric to speechwriting in the 21st Century; deconstruct great political and business speeches using text and video; compare and contrast different speechwriting techniques in various international settings; as well as become familiar with some of the latest advances in neuroscience breaking new ground in understanding how persuasion works. Students will be expected to draft, edit and deliver their own speeches every week. No prior speechwriting experience is required, however, exceptional written-English skills are strongly recommended. Practical topics will be essential for this course: Why do some speeches persuade while others do not? How does one effectively capture the voice of the person you're writing for? How are speeches tailored for specific audiences, venues and occasions? Should one's message be solely what the speaker thinks the audience wants to hear-or what the speaker believes the audience needs to hear? And how important is delivery in terms of moving an audience?

ENGLISH FOR INT'L & PUB AFFRS

The overall goal of this course is to improve the writing skills of international students in the MIA and MPA degree programs. The course requirements will include weekly short exercises (definitions of key terms and abstract concepts, summaries of statistical data, summaries and critiques of seminal concepts and theories, and descriptions of processes and procedures) and longer assignments (an argumentative essay, case study and short research paper). Students will also learn to revise and edit their work as well as to integrate sophisticated rhetorical and syntactic structures. To improve the accuracy and clarity of their writing, the course will review the aspects of grammar that pose particular problems for international students.

INTERNET BUSINESS MODELS & US POLICY

INTERNET BUS MODELS & US POLIC

This course will examine the debates which have shaped internet policy, with a particular emphasis on the business models employed by the major US-based tech and internet giants - Facebook, Twitter, Apple, Google and Amazon. For decades, policy took a backseat to growth in the internet industry (the “do no harm” approach to regulation), but that changed dramatically with revelations around the role of major technology platforms in the 2016 election. The Cambridge Analytica scandal in particular roused both houses of Congress to action, a series of ongoing hearings may lead to a sweeping new regulatory framework governing how data flows in US society, particularly if Democrats in Congress have their way. But while the major internet players grew in a largely unregulated environment, there’s a rich history of policy fights that inform current debate. This class will survey those early skirmishes with an eye toward understanding the state of today’s current debate.
