Vital Records and Vital Statistics: The
Vital Records & Vital Sta
If you had to develop a public health intervention designed to protect basic human rights, connect your target population with upstream social determinants of health like education, housing, and income, and ensure that their existential drive to exist were acknowledged, a birth certificate just might be it. Invisible and mundane to most of the world, birth certificates – and death certificates, as well – document the stories how of humans come into and go out of this world. And, come and go they do. Vital records are the documents that catalog these experiences millions of times each year in the U.S., and vital statistics are the subset of the information on these records that public health students and professionals know and love. This course focuses on the history, policy, management, and protection of vital records and vital statistics in the United States and will open students’ eyes to the surprisingly fascinating world of vital events.

Terrorism, Law and Public Health
Terrorism, Law & Public H
What is terrorism? What laws protect us? What are the the threats? What are the less than obvious public health consequences of acts of terrorism? What systems are in place to help wehn we are attacked? Can Terrorism be prevented? These and other questions will be debated through a dybamic approach to learing about terrorism and the law. This course will provide a theoretical and empirical understanding of terrorism from the perspectives of public health, public policy and law. It will identify various analytical approaches to the study of terrorism including identification of terrorist groups, review of terrorist tactics, and examination of governmental responses to reduce or control the incidence of terrorism. We will study concepts and ideas involving both historical and contemporary issues involving terrorism, domestic and international. Terrorist tactics, approaches and concepts will be examined. Terrorism and its supporting ideologies will be considered and discussed, as will motivations for terrorism. Terrorism events always present both legal and public health issues and require public health preparedness, rapid identification, information control and response. In this course, learners will also identify laws and regulations that form the basis of public health emergency preparedness and response paradigms. The course will begin with an introduction to terrorism and its history. Learners will then be introduced to the knowledge, skills, capabilities, and behaviors required for competency in developing policy that is consistent with the applicable laws and regulations, general principles of public health preparedness and emergency response to a terrorist attack including:
Identification and recognition of key terrorist ideologies and events including but not limited to groups and individual terrorists, both foreign and domestic.
Understanding the Patriot Act, Homeland Security and other early warning and response systems in place for early recognition and prevention terrorist attacts.
Understanding various response systems including but not limited to the National Incident Management System (NIMS), National Response Framework (NRF), Incident Command System (ICS), and other relevant management structures.
Identification of precursors to a terrorist event.
Goals and enhancements of terrorist events including the role of the media and its impact on relevant constitutional issues.

INTERPRETING EARLY FILM: MEDIUM, MODERNI
This course investigates film in its first half century, c.1895-1945, as both product and producer of the modern: as a technology that itself reflected the conditions of modern life; and as a medium that continually tested, negotiated, and contested modernity’s effects. Early film theorists sometimes treated film as a mere extension of theatre. Bernard Shaw wrote that, with the arrival of film, “we shall hear no more of the fugitive fame of the actor’s art, for all the theatres will be picture theatres, and all the plays immortal.” Early film pioneer Georges Méliès said that his central cinematic aim was to create “stage effects.” But others proclaimed film radically new. “The more a scene is theatrical, the less it is cinematic,” wrote the expressionist Kurt Pinthus in 1914. We will look at the kinds of theatrical effects Méliès and others sought to replicate: the use of poses, pictorial composition, and
mises-en-scène
borrowed from the stage. At the same time, we will examine the specifically “cinematic”: film’s fracturing of classical time and space; its fragmentation of the body; its erotic simulacrum of intimacy; its reflection of the anonymity of the metropolis; its ghostliness. We will investigate its particular version of modernism—forged in the encounter between avant-garde aesthetics and mass culture—looking at it in relationship to literary and other aesthetic forms of modernism. And we will explore its reflections of the modern: ideas (phenomenology, psychoanalysis, sexology...); aesthetic movements (futurism, expressionism, surrealism...); the world (the electric cityscape, air travel, fascism, global war). At the center of our work together will be the development of methodologies for the close reading and watching of film: as narrative and verbal text; and as visual, auditory, and kinesthetic text. We will read early film theory alongside academic criticism and film journalism, paying close attention not only to our critics’ claims but also to their critical strategies. While treating these as possible models (or counter-models) for academic criticism, film journalism, or broader “public humanities” writing, we will also use them as tools for deepening our understanding of film as medium, of modernism, and of modernity.

International Human Rights Law
This course introduces students to international human rights law (IHRL). In what sense are internationally-defined human rights "rights" and in what sense can the instruments which define them be considered "law"? How do we know that a claim is actually a "human right"? What are the relations among international, regional and national institutions in establishing and enforcing (or not) IHRL? Does IHRL represent an encroachment on national sovereignty? Is the future of IHRL regional? What enforcement mechanisms can we use, and who can decide upon their use? Finally, what redress is there for human rights violations, and how effective is it? Attendance is required in the first class.

Foreign Policy Crisis Decision-Making
Foreign Pol Crisis Decision-ma
When we talk about the successes and failures of U.S. foreign policy in managing international crises—in the media, in classrooms, in everyday conversations—we inevitably focus on the individuals making decisions in Washington. While the president, the secretary of state, and other top officials are routinely viewed as key shapers of U.S. actions abroad, we rarely take the time to think carefully and analytically about how these actors view the world, how they arrive at their decisions, and how various psychological factors such as identity, belief, and emotion shape the policies they devise to promote U.S. interests abroad.

War and Captivity
As long as societies have gone to war, commanders have had to consider how they will treat captives. It can be a factor at every stage of a struggle, from negotiations to avert war, tactics and strategy for winning, and post-conflict resolution. And long after the end of fighting, the experience of captivity can continue to shape how people recall and commemorate their history. This course examines how generations of lawmakers, diplomats, military commanders and activists have dealt with the problem of captivity. It will also explore the experience of the captives themselves, as well as their guards, including those guards who themselves were made prisoner after being accused of war crimes. Students will become familiar not just with different kinds of modern conflict, but also the different disciplinary methods for studying it, from sociology and political science to philosophy and international law.

Conceptual Foundations of International
Conceptual Found of Intl Polit
Through a review of major academic writings, lectures, and class discussions, Conceptual Foundations of International Politics examines many of the central concepts, theories, and analytical tools used in contemporary social science to understand and explain international affairs. The theoretical literature is drawn from different fields in the social sciences, including comparative politics, international relations, political sociology, and economics; the lecturers include members of the Columbia faculty who are authorities in these fields (as well as, in many cases, experienced practitioners in their own right) alongside a number of outside guest speakers. The course is designed to enhance students' abilities to think critically and analytically about current problems and challenges in international politics. Conceptual Foundations is a semester-long course. The lecture/plenary session is held weekly, and the seminar-style sections also meet every week. Attending lectures and discussion sections is obligatory. Students are required to complete assigned readings before their discussion section.

Negotiation & Conflict Resolution
There are two purposes to this course: 1. to develop your ability to negotiate in a purposeful, principled and effective way; and 2. to teach you how to build consensus and broker wise agreements with others. Negotiation is a social skill, and like all social skills you have to practice it if you want to get better at it. To give you the chance to practice, we'll do a number of simulated negotiations in and out of class. We'll also use lectures, case studies, exercises, games, videos, and demonstrations to help you develop your understanding. As we advance in the course, our focus will shift from simple one-on-one negotiations to more complex ones involving many parties, agents, coalitions, and organizations.

The Frequency of Black Life
How does one represent black life, convey its frequencies, its textures and sounds, its opacity, the deep and rich black tones that define the lived experience and the aesthetic territory? How is one able to feel, to sense, to perceive in the psychic hold of anti-blackness or to render existence at the lower frequencies? What possibilities might be yielded by the state of the blackness? Since the eighteenth century, black writers and thinkers have addressed the range of utterances and the sonic dimensions part and parcel of the lived experience of dispossession, from the moans and cries of the hold, Aunt Hester’s Scream, the shout as worship and circle dance, the field holler, the yelp, the cry, the keen, the song are significant registers of existence for those cast out of the world. The discourse of sound has been linked inextricably with the language of visibility—from torture, violation and spectacle, to subjection, to invisibility and surveillance. The photograph has been central in framing black life as a problem and illuminating the frequencies of black life that escape and exceed the capture of the white gaze and that trouble the frame. The production and assembling of photographic images accompanied by textual annotation or photographs exhibited in installations with other printed and graphic material has been central to the project of representing black life and conveying its movement and beauty. Since 1900, black thinkers and image-makers have employed photography as a tool to contest the fixing of black life as a social problem and to reimagine black existence and social movement. The course will engage a series of photo texts, including W.E.B. Du Bois’s visual graphics and Georgia Negro photographs, Santu Mofokeng,

International Law
This course introduces SIPA students to the basic doctrines of public international law, the processes through which it develops and the challenges it faces including actual interstate disputes about the use of global commons, responsibility for breaches of human rights obligations, climate change, trade, sanctions, and cyber attacks. The discussion will be grounded in the analysis of particular cases. Such cases include actual trade disputes, climate change regimes, treatment of migrants, missile and weapons testing, claims to sovereignty over islands, use of the high seas, use of diplomatic missions and protection of the Antarctic. Important cases emerging during the course period will also be dealt with on a weekly basis. The foundations of international law will be explained such as: What is international law and which institutions are involved in its development, to whom does it apply and how is it enforced? What are the relations among international, foreign and municipal law? What is the role of states, and how is sovereignty being redefined? What role do international organizations, such as the United Nations, play? How do non-state actors – NGOs, corporations, armed groups – play in this scenario and how are they challenging it? Students will be able to understand the basis for international relations among states, how and in what forms they interact with each other and what the role and function of the major international organization are. Upon completing this course, students should: understand issues underlying the concept of “international law,” as well the institutional framework of the international legal system, including the major organizations and sources of law on which it is based.
