The area of concentration selected should reflect both the role of the clinical specialist / nurse practitioner and the student’s specific interests. Proposed work must be outlined prior to registration and agreed upon by both faculty and student.
Prerequisites: degree in biological sciences. Lectures by visiting scientists, faculty, and students; specific biological research projects; with emphasis on evolution, ecology, and conservation biology.
This proseminar, which meets alternate weeks for the full academic year, is required for third-year PhD students in the Department of English and Comparative Literature. The seminar will help you prepare for orals, develop your dissertation ideas, expand your research skills, produce articles for publication, and generally extend your professional skills. While we will read some practical “how to” literature and models, the focus will be on writing, workshopping material, and discussing process (time-management, organization, etc). Both out-of-class assignments and in-class writing exercises should serve to extend your ideas—or shake them loose—and bring you closer to a dissertation that represents your vision, makes others want to read your work, and reminds you why you care. By the end of the year, you will have a polished dissertation prospectus and should have submitted at least one article for publication (or have one close-to-ready for submission). Above all, the seminar offers a supportive community, an opportunity to try out ideas (cooked or still raw), and encouragement from your fellow scholar-writer-thinkers as you progress toward your orals and dissertation.

The work of Sylvia Wynter presents readers with a multi-disciplinary corpus, spanning plays, critical essays, interviews, a novel, poetry, and dance. In addition to her overarching critique of the idea of “Man”, Wynter’s work invites us to rethink disciplinarity, genre, and how critical practice is defined. If we take seriously the creative component of Wynter’s work, the generative capacity and urgency of poesis, how then might we envision the contours and stakes of a “literary method” in the context of her work? By what means might we read her work, the kind of knowledge it produces by means of the literary, and the alternatives it offers us for thinking through the question of literary method? What, in short, does reading literature do? Does it reproduce complicity with or challenge the kinds of structures Wynter critiques?
Beginning with her essay “Rethinking ‘Aesthetics’” this seminar takes seriously the question of normative forces at work under the rubric of aesthetics to better understand elements at work (poetics, performatives, epistemologies, concepts) and the philosophic, anthropo-centric, ecologic, and racialized topographies that appear. The seminar is divided into three parts: the aesthetic, the performative, and the poetic.
Above all, this course aims to generate
readings
of Wynter’s work and its complex attentions to multiple threads and tensions that constitute and animate modern knowledge.

This course is about social science research methods, with a heavy focus on quantitative techniques. Students in this course will learn to formulate research and policy questions amenable to empirical inquiry and to identify and apply appropriate methods of measurement and analysis to answer these questions.
This course begins with a discussion on the formulation of research questions derived from policy and management objectives, followed by the collection and organization of data, and finally the presentation and analysis of facts.
This course emphasizes the conceptual understanding of statistics that can be readily applied in the practice of public management and policy. In terms of statistical methods, the course covers descriptive statistics for univariate and bivariate analysis, including concepts and measures of central tendency, dispersion, and contingency tables. It also covers inferential statistical techniques, such as the chi-square, difference in means, and simple and multiple regression analysis.
To complement the lecture, students are introduced to the use of STATA, a computer- based data analysis tool. Later in the semester, the class is divided into groups to work on problems relating to environmental policy and research. The groups formulate research questions and model, collect, code, clean, and analyze data. Towards the end of the class, students are required to present their finding, and produce an analytical report.

All art is political, but some art is made as a form of protest or to incite an audience to protest. Most often it is both. This course – though far from exhaustive in its coverage – will present a sample of genres (music, plastic arts, theater, dance, installation, photography) in a variety of locations and times to understand how art and artists have engaged in protest. Much of modern art is conceptual, using installations and performance, to communicate. Therefore, we will start the class by turning to T. J. Clark, the preeminent art historian, for his answer to the question, when did modern art begin? This question will lead us to explore the debate on the purpose of art. We will then move to how artists responded to moments of crisis in the early 20th century - world wars, economic depression, and the rise of fascism – because the art that emerged informs much of what we see today. Based on these foundational questions, the class will turn to case studies from around the globe.

Political Context of Environmental Management
explores how environmental challenges are framed, debated, and addressed within political systems. The course examines how public issues emerge on the policy agenda, how competing interests shape environmental decision-making, and how policy solutions are formulated and implemented across sectors and scales.
Emphasizing the intersection of politics, governance, and environmental management, students will analyze tensions between economic and political models of policymaking, the role of interest groups and expertise, and the complexities of managing cross-jurisdictional issues such as federalism and globalization. Case studies, including agriculture, will provide practical insight into the dynamics of environmental policy from local to global levels.
By the end of the course, students will develop a deeper understanding of environmental advocacy, the formal and informal actors in environmental governance, and the political conditions that enable or constrain policy change.
