Operations Management
This course provides a foundation for understanding the operations of an organization. The objective is to provide the basic skills necessary to critically analyze an organization's operating performance and practices. Such knowledge is important for careers in a variety of areas, including general management and consulting. Unlike other courses which tend to treat operations as a black box, this course will be concerned with 'opening up the inner workings of an organization's operations to see how they work or don't work, learning the fundamental laws of behavior of producing a product or services, and lastly to learn how to design operations that perform at maximum levels. Its focus will be on the technical and mathematical analysis of operations rather than a human factors approach, although there are obvious connections between the two that will be explored. Concern is given to understanding which elements of an organization's operations enable it to produce quality outputs at a reasonable cost. The course will accomplish this by grouping the material under two major headings. The first half of the course will be devoted to understanding the physics of how material, paper work, and information flow through an organization to produce a product or service and how its design encourages or impedes good performance. The second half will focus on excellence in operations, learning techniques and approaches that increase overall performance in production, quality, variety, or speed of service.

Ethics, Values and Justice
The purpose of this course is to examine the claims made by multiple stakeholders for use of the environment, both natural and built, and to determine how contention among them can be ethically resolved in the policy process. Over time, six major clusters of stakeholders have arisen, expressing environmentalist standpoints: three, including proponents of wilderness, ecosystems, and nonhuman species, have been called nonanthropocentric; and three, including proponents of conservation, environmental justice, and sustainability, have been called anthropocentric. Among them a diverse array of ethical quarrels has arisen, yet today the sustainability outlook appears to be ascendant in popular and public discourse. Claims made regarding greater or lesser use of both natural and human resources continue to be debated nonetheless. Many are related to the issues of whether present use should take into account past wrongful, often inter-racially prejudicial actions, and future-regarding, often inter-generationally beneficial actions. The course aims to examine specific principles, such as polluter pays for pollution, prior free informed consent, transboundary accountability, and common responsibility, which can be used to resolve ethical issues. Consideration is given to the possibility of both collective and individual ethical action, even in situations of corruption, including subtle forms involving campaign contributions with a pay-to-play aspect. The objective is to discover how such ethical problems can be managed in the public policy process.

Urban Social Policy
This course surveys social policymaking processes and outcomes from the perspective of cities in the US, with a focus on New York City. It offers students analytical and empirical tools to better understand urban "social problems" (e.g., residential segregation, urban poverty, housing, immigration, crime and policing, incarceration and re-entry, education inequality, pandemic health risks) and the corresponding policies that promote more affordable, productive, inclusive, and healthier cities amidst fiscal constraints, political divisions, and intense economic competition. Case studies are utilized to delve deeper into specific issues, such as concentrated poverty, neighborhood effects, gender inequality, urban politics, urban culture, technology-enabled social innovation, public-private partnerships, and redistributive programs. At the end of the semester, we will hold an “Urban Social Policy Seminar” to feature policy-oriented research projects on New York City’s revival in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. Lessons from New York City can inform new policy approaches in cities across the US and in various parts of the world.

We will cover topics like rites of passage and life cycle, the role of the nation state and local communities in defining a person, the relation between self and non-self, between the living and the dead. We will likewise address vicarious forms of personhood through the prosthetic, the avatar or the heteronomous. But we will also look into forms of dissipation and/or enhancement of personhood through bodybuilding, guinea-piging and pharmo-toxicities. As a whole, the course will bring to light how the question of personhood cross-culturally relates to language, performativity, religion, technology, law, gender, race, class, care, life and death.

Urban Economics
Urban economics explain the forces that make people want to live in close proximity to each other and the complex economic and social dynamics that ensue. First, urban economics explains the distribution of economic activity and population over space (typical question are: why do cities exists? What drives the location decisions of people and firms? What makes cities grow?). Second, it interprets how production activities and housing are distributed within a city, the value of land, and how it is allocated to what use. Third, it addresses questions of governance, political economy, and public finance: scope and limitations of local government intervention, provision of services, regulation, and governmental funding sources. Fourth, it confronts many fundamental economic and policy problems: transportation, crime, housing, education, homelessness, public health, income distribution, racial segregation, environmental sustainability, fiscal federalism, municipal finance, and others. This course covers the first three aspects of urban economics and a selection of topics from the fourth category. By the end of the course you will be able to: Have an understanding of introductory theoretical and empirical models of urban economics to interpret location decisions of people and firms (between and within cities); Evaluate local policy using efficiency and equity arguments; Apply your knowledge to a specific policy issue.

DP-Labs I & II are two full-semester, 3-credit courses with a first-year spring course focused on skills and tools for project design and a second-year fall course focused on skills around organizational management and leadership. The DP-Labs will bookend MPA-DP students’ 3-month professional summer placements, allowing for DP-Lab I skills to be applied over the summer and for DP Lab II to process those experiences as real case studies and examples. These skills will be applied to final semester capstone projects and allow students to synthesize lessons learned for their eventual job search and career development. DP-Lab II teaches students skills and tools needed for effective and inclusive organizational management for social impact. It will allow students to process the lessons learned during their summer placements and use those experiences as case studies to understand the skills needed for effective leadership and management. Throughout the semester students will receive hands-on training by experienced practitioners on different topics, while looking at leadership and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) as cross-cutting themes. The course will run for 13 weeks with each week focused on introducing students to a core topic with class activities including guest practitioners and lecturers, case studies, ethics discussions, role plays, and guided group work.

The course begins with a series of lectures that link natural extremes with disasters consequences in the development context. We explain the physical phenomenology of natural extreme events, how and why they originate, the limits to which they can be predicted and the extent to which measures can be taken to reduce their harm. The focus is on those extremes that have historically proven to have the greatest consequences - earthquakes, hurricanes, floods and droughts. We then describe the social phenomenology especially the macroeconomic consequences of disasters. Here we are in relatively new territory and we will call on analogies with well-established economic shocks such as currency slums and financial crises to explain how disaster shocks might differentially impact societies at varying development levels. We then discuss how the UN and other international agencies deal with disasters.

The purpose of this course is to give students a framework for conducting international multilateral negotiations, from start to finish, using two introduction class to explain the basics of multi-lateral negotiations and four different international climate change negotiations as case studies to further elaborate the initial lessons. The class provides guidance on how to successfully negotiate international agreements, regardless of subject matter, and will be relevant to students interested in a variety of global issues. The instructor was a lead negotiator in the cases examined and so provides insights into the development of a country’s own positions via inter-governmental processes in addition to teaching students how to conduct the negotiations with international counterparts. By reading example internal memoranda drafted for high-level officials as well as technical and policy position papers intended for international counterparts – and undertaking writing assignments to learn to draft such documents themselves – students will improve practical writing skills and learn about the interplay between science, policy and politics.

HOW TO BE A CRITIC
This class is for graduate students interested in practicing public scholarship as future academics, journalists, editors, curators, podcasters, and cultural programmers. Readings will introduce students to writing past and present that aims to make academic ideas available to a broad readership and engages in spirited evaluation of other people’s ideas. Class discussions will teach students how to pitch, write, and publish long-form reviews that make rigorous scholarship engaging and accessible to an educated general public. Writing assignments, weekly workshops (“crits”), and a final project will allow students to develop, pitch, and complete a potentially publishable long-form review. Genres to be analyzed include the profile, the personal essay, the critique, and, of course, the review. The readings span both the humanities and social sciences and include digital economies; urbanism and environmentalism; museum design, art exhibits and visual archives; contemporary film and television; and technologies of the self. Models and resources will include
The New Yorker, The New York Review of Books, The Atlantic, The New York Times Magazine,
and
Public Books,
a Columbia-based digital magazine of ideas, art, and scholarship that currently draws around 800,000 readers a year.
