The publication of Edward Said’s Orientalism in 1978 heralded heated debates that centered on the question of the representation of the other, more specifically, European constructions of the “Orient.” Extending over many academic disciplines and covering ideological, political, social, cultural, and artistic realms, Said’s book led to the emergence of a wide literature. As testified by scores of recent books and articles, the discussions continue to maintain their fervor. Nevertheless, one perspective remains neglected: the ways in which the othered subjects evaluated the European discourse. Our seminar will address this lacuna and study how “Orientals” read the Orientalist discourse. Examining the work of Middle Eastern authors (and in a few cases, artists), we will gain insights into their reactions, anger, and appropriations, as well as the broader parameters of their own intellectual searches and struggles. Capitalizing on original texts (made accessible in English in my
Europe Knows Nothing about the Orient
, 2021), we will listen to late Ottoman and early Turkish Republican intellectuals, who produced a significant discourse of their own. In accord with the European texts, these come from different disciplines and range from philosophical essays to journalistic editorials, academic articles on art and architectural history, and literary works (novels, short stories, poems). We will expand the Ottoman/Turkish perspective by including voices from other parts of the Middle East and North Africa, while also considering European critical writing. The chronological bracket is from the 1870s to the 1930s, corresponding to the peak of Orientalism.
Examines basic theoretical perspectives on sexuality relevant for the understanding of public health issues and enlists the social sciences of sociology, psychology, anthropology, history, political science, and moral philosophy. Drawing upon assigned readings, lectures, seminar sections, and individual assignments, students learn to explain the strengths and limitations of relevant theoretical perspectives for understanding public health issues related to sexuality and to analyze linkages between sexuality and health across populations and in minority and stigmatized communities.

News and Disinformation is a highly current guide to the world news and information environment, the geopolitical impact of information and the workings of propaganda and disinformation. The course teaches best practices for collecting and distributing reliable information, the geopolitical power of information, and the most effective ways to counter propaganda and disinformation. It includes a strong focus on information operations by Russia and the Soviet Union aimed at both internal and international audiences. It also asks if there is more than one truth, and the degree to which Western countries do and should conduct propaganda of their own. The course is aimed at students building skills in geopolitical analysis or Russian affairs, or who expect to be collecting and conveying actionable information for governments, militaries, news organizations, NGOs or businesses. The course includes a unit on working in dangerous conditions, with up-to-the-minute safety advice on surviving war, civil unrest, police harassment and cyber surveillance. Although the course is offered through the Harriman Institute, which focuses on the post-Soviet space, no special background on Russia is required.
This half-semester course introduces students to the marketing tools and audience development strategies available to the not-for-profit theatre institution. It starts with an investigation of theories of relevance; an assessment of who is (and is not) currently in the audience and why; and a look at the role that mission and vision play in shaping an institution’s engagement plans and priorities. Through case studies, related readings, and writing assignments, the remaining weeks explore the different techniques by which a theatre can connect with potential theatregoers, including paid advertising, direct response, online/social media, and surveys/research studies.

Wedged between the rudiments of theater and the gestures of visual art, performance art came to prominence at the end of the twentieth century. Our concentration in this course will be primarily on artists and practices in the twentieth century. Central to our investigations will be discussions surrounding performance as catalytic process, as temporal art, and issues of the body as form. Feminist performance art will be the focus for this semester: woman’s body as a space-claiming, mark-making, speculative, archival, writing body. We will also take advantage of
Performa21, The Ninth Biennial of New Visual Art Performance
which takes place October 12-31 and will be held at various venues around the city.
Aspects of the commercial theatre with perspectives from Executives of The Shubert Organization. The Shubert Organization owns 17 Broadway, 6 Off-Broadway and 2 “road” theatres. It is a multi-million dollar company with significant real estate holdings, a substantial investment portfolio, a major ticketing operation and over 1,500 employees. But whether you are dealing with a 1,750-seat theatre or a converted garage, the issues are the same: What shows should be produced/booked? How to find an audience for them? How to make the most of ever-advancing modes of technology? How to contend with artistic, financial, organizational and legal challenges? The fundamental question: How to present the finest work in the best possible circumstances for the largest number of people in order to achieve the greatest artistic and financial return possible?

What are the reasons for declaring a particular space holy? How are the borders of this holy space made visible? What practices and rituals are employed in holy spaces? Can the sanctity of the holy be transferred? The city of Jerusalem is the case study through which these questions will be critically examined. The city, sacred to three monotheistic religions, has been made and remade throughout history as a sacred space to Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The course will examine Jerusalem's changing architectural program over circa one thousand years, as well as its representation in images and texts from Jewish, Christian and Muslim sources. The main focus will be the Haram al-Sharif, the temple mount in Jerusalem as well as other spaces in the old city of Jerusalem and its vicinity, in which further sacred spaces were built and designed for pilgrims. Aspects of different rituals and even oral traditions will be brought into discussion to illustrate the varied methods and politics of the space and the continuous contestations over Jerusalem’s sacredness up to the present day. At the same time, modern, mainly nationalistic, methods for reconstructing past narratives for Jerusalem will be critically discussed, focusing mainly on archaeology, urban architectural developments and museum display.
Theatrical experiences are more frequently crossing borders to not only share art around the world, but also to remain financially and culturally sustainable. This is the first course offered by the Theatre Program that looks at the vision and logistics of bringing theatre to places all over the world. “The work of a director can be summed up in two very simple words. Why and How.” -- Peter Brook,
On Directing
As theatre producers and managers, we’ll ask “Why and How” in a preliminary investigation into the missions and mechanics of producing international festivals and tours. We will consider our roles as members of the international performing arts community and our relationships to our artists, our audiences, and our international partners and colleagues.
This elective is offered to students who have an interest in vestibular rehabilitation and wish an introduction to this emerging field of clinical expertise.

This course is designed to prepare the entry-level physical therapist on the unique approach in completing an evaluative screening and treatment plan for a patient with pelvic health issues. Many pelvic health issues are frequently under-reported and under-diagnosed based on common misconceptions and social stigmas associated with these sensitive and personal conditions. As we move into our doctoring profession, health and wellness can be part of the cornerstone of a pelvic health specialty, however, appropriate and timely diagnosis and treatment is essential. Physical therapists are an integral part of the multidisciplinary approach assisting women and men to overcome and manage health issues. This course is designed to enable students, as entry-level clinicians, to improve care for clients throughout their lifespan based on emerging scientific and clinical evidence related to medical conditions unique to pelvic health, and those which occur more frequently in women or present differently in women. The course will include presentations for key pelvic health specialty and subspecialty disciplines including bone health across the life span, obstetrics and gynecology, chronic pelvic pain, bladder and bowel dysfunction, nutritional dysfunction, cancer rehabilitation and fibromyalgia. Topics will primarily target women from adolescents, childbearing, peri-menopause, menopause, post-menopausal and geriatric years. The pelvic health specialty will also cover similar topics for the male and pediatric populations.

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, theaters across New York City and the globe shuttered beginning in March 2020. This shutdown compelled theatre artists to take to the internet in order to create and share theatrical content, innovating how we think about theatre in the wake of quarantine and how we develop meaningful collaboration with television and filmmakers in the online entertainment space. This seminar will explore the current trend of streaming artistic work through a theatrical lens, identifying the various key players and technological practices, as well as evaluating what makes digital theatre successful for an at-home audience. This topic will be examined through reading, guest speakers, case studies, and discussion of current models. Armed with this knowledge of the process, the course will culminate in students’ producing their own digital theatre content. Seminar goals include building and applying tangible skills in the digital media field in addition to expanding the traditional boundaries of what the role of a theatre producer can look like. The four main categories of content we’ll investigate are:
Creating a new piece of theatre/performance online.
Presenting a pre-existing piece of theatre in a digital format.
Streaming a filmed version of a live, staged performance.
Developing new theatrical work via digital platforms
This 3-day elective teaches the student detailed biomechanical evaluation and manual physical therapy intervention of the lower limb and foot/ankle joints. The application of clinical biomechanics to the assessment and treatment of abnormal biomechanics and its resulting joint and soft tissue dysfunction will be discussed, demonstrated, and practiced. Current available literature and evidence for examination and intervention will be discussed. The course builds upon content taught in prior orthopedic classes. Students will learn to formulate a differential diagnosis for a variety of foot and ankle complaints that may be seen in a direct access setting. Emphasis will be placed on clinical assessment and associated treatment. A biomechanical assessment of the foot and ankle will be used to determine appropriate manual treatment techniques. Students will learn to observe gait and to assess the neuromuscular control of the foot and ankle in both weight-bearing and non weight-bearing. Movement analysis, x-ray, diagnostic imaging, and clinical videos will be used as teaching tools. Evidence-based practice will be highlighted and dealing with the dearth of good evidence of the foot and ankle will be rationalized.
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.
Physical therapy education relative to an understanding of the various types of headaches, orofacial pain and temporomandibular disorders (TMD), as well as their inherent patho-physiological mechanisms, are commonly not covered sufficiently within the entry-level or graduate physical therapy curriculum. This specialty course has been designed to fill the void, which exists beyond the evaluation of the cervical spine and provide knowledge as well as training in definitive evaluative and therapeutic skills unique to this specialty area. This course is designed to provide the information and necessary skill to delineate the major types of headaches, orofacial pain, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) movement disorders and associated symptoms that originate from the craniofacial and temporomandibular regions from those of a cervicogenic and/or comorbid origin. An in-depth understanding of the anatomical and neurophysiological factors relative to the trigeminocervical, sub-occipital and temporomandibular complex, as well as the cranium in relation to headaches and orofacial pain will be presented. Sub-occipital, orofacial, temporomandibular and cranial pain/dysfunction syndromes will be analyzed with emphasis placed upon their delineation and subsequent development of comprehensive therapeutic paradigms. Workshop sessions will follow the lectures and focus upon case study analysis, proper sequencing and use of manual upper ¼ and craniofacial (intra & extraoral) soft tissue and joint mobilization techniques, therapeutic exercise, adjunctive modalities, dry needling as well as postural and ergonomic intervention for the reduction of pain and inflammation, restoration of function and prevention of recurrence.
This elective course is designed as an introduction for students wishing to gain competencies related to physical therapy for dancers. Target patient population will be ballet, modern and post-modern dancers. The elective will help students begin to develop a template for structuring assessment and interventions with the above patient population, as well as cultivate the independent clinical reasoning skills required in a direct-access environment. Populations (dancers, dance teachers, and choreographers) in settings specific to their professions and emphasizing lifespan issues in the field. The condition of direct access in on-site facilities enables patients to contact PT quickly when troubles arise and encourages the clinician in clinical decision-making early in the history of an injury or condition. The elective will emphasize recognition of certain characteristic patterns of injury, differential diagnosis and red flags, including when to refer to other health care professionals, recognizing cultural issues in the delivery of care for these patient populations, lifespan issues, appropriate therapeutic exercise progressions, and patient education and self-care.
This course will analyze the way developing countries manage major economic crises, and what support they get (or don’t get) from the international community. It will look at both crises a global character (the 2008-09 global financial crisis, and the current COVID-19 crisis) as well as those specific to developing countries (the Latin American debt crisis of the 1980s, and the crisis of emerging economies that sparked off in East Asia in 1997). It will start with a couple of lectures on the domestic and international factors that trigger crises, as well as the role of the major institutions in charge of cooperation, the two Bretton Woods institutions (the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank), their regional partners, and the informal groupings of major countries that are crucial for decision-making (the G-7 and the G-20). It will then analyze the major crises in historical order: the Latin American debt crisis, the East Asian crisis, the North Atlantic financial crisis, and the COVID-19 crisis. The analyses of crisis will take the form of presentation and debates among students, after an initial presentation by the professor. It will end with a discussion of what we have learnt from crisis management and the ongoing debate on the way forward. Although the focus would be the management of the specific issues relevant to developing countries, the seminar will not ignore policies that are adopted by developed countries but have global effects.
This course will provide an opportunity to synthesize and integrate the advanced practice knowledge and skills acquired through previous didactic and clinical coursework.
