Crisis Communications
MIA & MPA Leadership and Management II Core.
This course blends crisis communication theory, case studies, and immersive simulations to prepare students for high-stakes communications challenges in the public and nonprofit sectors. Students will develop strategic judgment and tactical skills necessary to lead during crises while practicing rapid-response communication under pressure.
Topics include defining and diagnosing crises, designing messaging strategies, working with the media, coordinating across agencies, and maintaining public trust. The course also explores the role of tone and humor, legal considerations, and the dynamics of internal and external communication during emergencies.
Students will engage in hands-on simulations replicating real-world crises, such as natural disasters, viral incidents, and organizational failures. Through weekly assignments and scenario-based exercises, students will gain experience developing crisis memos, talking points, and live-response strategies.

Material Culture and Classics
In this course, we will explore the material and visual culture of the Mediterranean lands and beyond, that is Greece, Italy, Spain, North Africa, Asia Minor, Ancient Near East etc. Of course, facing the immensity of the topic and the bibliography we will be necessarily selective and experimental. We will alternate between reading ancient classical sources, secondary treatments, theoretical and conceptual readings, excavation reports, archaeological guides, and actual artifacts and images. The goal is to familiarize Classics students with trends in the study of material culture and to apply interdisciplinarity in research. We will aim to hold every other session in a museum in the New York region (Metropolitan Museum, Brooklyn museum, etc). The selection of artifacts below is chose to complement and complicate the readings, but other choices are perfectly possible according to student interests and the evolution of our discussions.

Caribbean Decolonial Ways
This course examines Caribbean decolonial praxis as a multimodal phenomenon in which the historical, political, cultural, religious, environmental, and affective dimensions of decoloniality coalesce. By drawing on Édouard Glissant’s idea of relationality as the seminar’s structural principle, we will dig into the commonalities and specificities of the colonial experience across the Hispanic, French, and Anglophone Caribbeans. Rather than focusing on the genealogy of decoloniality as traced in the Caribbean philosophical canon, we will complicate, and ultimately unravel, such genealogy through a multifaceted, intersectional lens allowing for the study of foundational texts by Aimé Césaire, Frantz Fanon, George Lamming, and Édouard Glissant, among others, alongside an array of works by female and queer intellectuals, writers, and artists from the 18th century to the present, such as the sisters Paulette and Jane Nardal, Suzanne Césaire, Aida Cartagena, Lorgia García-Peña, Frances Negrón-Muntaner, Carlos Martiel, and Kevin Quiles Bonilla. Our discussions will follow two major thematic lines, the (re-) placement and the (dis-) embodiment of coloniality within Caribbean political—and poetic—imagination, and will ultimately assess whether a decolonial project can be human-decentered.
Since a critical premise of the seminar is the belief in decoloniality as a creative, pragmatic principle, we will also host a workshop on decolonial research and creative resistances, which should contribute to students conceiving a decolonial project of their own.
