TOPICS IN MORAL PHILOSOPHY
Prerequisites: the instructor's permission. At least one foundational course in moral philosophy is recommended as background for this course. In this seminar we will take up several questions about moral understanding and insight. Questions we will consider include: Can trusting moral testimony ever be rational or right? Are the reasons to be cautions about relying on moral testimony moral reasons or epistemic reasons (or both)? What assumptions about moral knowledge do critics and defenders of moral testimony make? How does moral knowledge differ, if it does, from moral understanding? Is there such a thing as moral expertise? Is there any reason to think that moral expertise is more problematic than other kinds of expertise? Can emotions inform us about value? Under what conditions, if any, can emotions contribute to our understanding of value? Under what conditions are emotions impediments to moral knowledge or understanding? Can fictions help us gain moral insight? Can pictures ever be legitimate tools of moral persuasion?

Statistical Practices and Research for I
Stat Prac & Res for Int S
In this course, students will apply the concepts and methods introduced in Statistical Practices and Research for Interdisciplinary Science (SPRIS) I to a real research setting. Each student will be paired with a Biostatistics faculty member. The student will participate in one of the mentor’s collaborative projects to learn how to be an effective member of an interdisciplinary team. The relationship will mimic that between a medical resident and an attending physician.
The SPRIS II experience will vary depending on the assigned faculty member, but all students will gain exposure to preparing collaborative grant applications, designing research studies, analyzing real data, interpreting and presenting results, and writing manuscripts. Mentors will help to develop the student’s data intuition skills, ability to ask good research questions, and leadership qualities. Where necessary, students may replicate projects already completed by the faculty mentor to gain experience.

Workshop in Applied Earth Systems Manage
Earth Systems Mgmt II
This workshop is the second course in a three-semester sequence that serves as the professional development core of the MPA in Environmental Science and Policy. Building on the foundation established during the summer semester, students continue to refine their management and analytical skills through applied work on simulated public sector sustainability projects.
Students work in teams to design and implement a one-year operational plan for an environmental sustainability program. Each project addresses real-world management and implementation challenges, including budgeting, staffing, political analysis, performance planning, and scheduling. Students are expected to draw on the scientific, economic, and policy tools they have acquired to date, applying them in an integrated and practical context.
The course emphasizes project management, teamwork, and professional communication. Students assume defined leadership roles, develop briefings, and produce a final report that outlines a feasible policy direction and operational strategy. Through simulated client interactions and instructor-led seminars, students gain firsthand experience with the complexities of managing environmental programs in the public and nonprofit sectors.
