This is the first in a series of three full-time clinical education experiences. Students in good academic standing who have satisfactorily completed all prerequisite professional courses prior to Fall IIB of the DPT curriculum are assigned to a clinical center for an 8-week, full-time clinical education experience. This is the 1st opportunity to perform supervised practice of newly acquired clinical skills in a patient care setting. Students are required to give an in-service or case study presentation in partial fulfillment of the requirements of this experience.
The colloquium, brings together all students at the same level within the Ph.D. program and enriches the work of defining the dissertation topic and subsequent research and writing.
Subjects a well defined body of theory to scrutiny and assessment. Examples: The Warburg School of Aesthetic Theory (E. Cassirer, E. Panofsky, E. Gombrich, R. Wittkower, etc.); Phenomenological Theory in relation to architecture dealing with the theoretical work (E. Mach, M. Merleau-Ponty, G. Bachelard, C. Norberg-Schulz, A. Perez-Gomez); tracing the impact of the evolution of Post-Structuralist/Deconstructionist Theory on architecture (P. de Mann, J. Derrida, M. Wigley, P. Eisenman).
This course is designed to introduce all first-year graduate students in History to major books and problems of the discipline. It aims to familiarize them with historical writings on periods and places outside their own prospective specialties. This course is open to Ph.D. students in the department of History ONLY.
How do international and global perspectives shape and conceptualization, research, and writing of history? Topics include approaches to comparative history and transnational processes, the relationship of local, regional, national, and global scales of analysis, and the problem of periodization when considered on a world scale.
It is a common-place that the twentieth century ended with the establishment of capitalism and democracy as the “one best way”. In triumphalist accounts of the end of the Cold War the two are commonly presented as sharing a natural affinity. As never before the democratic formula was recommended for truly global application. To suggest the possibility of a contradiction between capitalism and democracy has come to seem like a gesture of outrageous conservative cynicism, or leftist subversion. And yet the convergence of capitalism and democracy is both recent and anything other than self-evident. It has been placed in question once again since 2008 in the epic crisis of Atlantic financial capitalism. This course examines the historical tensions between these two terms in the Atlantic world across the long 20th century from the 1890s to the present day.
The workshop provides a forum for advanced PhD students (usually in the 3rd or 4th year) to draft and refine the dissertation prospectus in preparation for the defense, as well as to discuss grant proposals. Emphasis on clear formulation of a research project, sources and historiography, the mechanics of research, and strategies of grant-writing. The class meets weekly and is usually offered in both fall and spring semesters. Consistent attendance and participation are mandatory.
What is media and mediation? How do aesthetics, techniques and technologies of media shape perception, experience, and politics in our societies? And how have various forms of media and mediation been conceptualized and practiced in the Chinese-language environment? This graduate seminar examines critical issues in historical and contemporary Chinese media cultures, and guides students in a broad survey of primary texts, theoretical readings, and research methods that place Chinese media cultures in historical, comparative and interdisciplinary perspectives. We discuss a variety of media forms, including paintings and graphic arts, photography and cinema, soundscapes and the built environment, and television and digital media. The class covers a time span from mid-19 th century to the present, and makes use of the rich holdings at the Starr East Asian Library for historical research and media archaeology. Open to MA and PhD students. Advanced undergraduates need to have instructor's approval.
Language prerequisites: intermediate or advanced Chinese; rare exceptions upon instructor’s approval.
Supervised Reserach for Classical Studies Graduate Students.
All graduate students are required to attend the department colloquium as long as they are in residence. No degree credit is granted.
The EMPA Capstone workshop applies the practical skills and analytical knowledge learned during the EMPA program to a current, real-world issue. Students are organized into small consulting teams (typically 7 students per team) and assigned a policy-oriented project with an external client. Student teams, working under the supervision of a faculty expert, answer a carefully defined problem posed by the client. Each team produces an actionable report and presents an oral briefing of their findings at the close of the workshop that is designed to translate into real change on the ground. Capstone or Portfolio Presentation Workshop is a graduation requirement for the EMPA program and it is typically taken in the final semester at SIPA. Registration in this course is managed by the EMPA Assistant Director and requires an application.
MFA Film students in their 3rd, 4th and 5th years register for this class to maintain full-time enrollment status.
Theoretical or experimental study or research in graduate areas in mechanical engineering and engineering science.
Speakers from universities, national laboratories, and industry are invited to speak on the recent impact of materials science and engineering innovations.
Capstone workshops apply the practical skills and analytical knowledge learned at SIPA to a real-world issue. Students are organized into small consulting teams (typically 6 students per team) and assigned a substantive, policy-oriented project with an external client. Student teams, working under the supervision of a faculty expert, answer a carefully defined problem posed by the client. Each team produces an actionable report and an oral briefing of their findings at the close of the workshop that is designed to translate into real change on the ground. The Capstone is a graduation requirement for all Masters of Public Administration and Masters of International Affairs students; it is typically taken in the final semester at SIPA.
