This course provides a structured setting for stand-alone M.A. students in their final year and Ph.D. students in their second and third years to develop their research trajectories in a way that complements normal coursework. The seminar meets approximately biweekly and focuses on topics such as research methodology; project design; literature review, including bibliographies and citation practices; grant writing. Required for MESAAS graduate students in their second and third year.
Reading and discussion of English-language scholarship on Japanese history between the 16th and 19th centuries. This class evaluates the achievements and the limitations of the past seven decades of Tokugawa historical studies, and considers areas and approaches that hold promise for future development. Knowledge of Japanese is not required; students of early modern histories elsewhere are encouraged to participate.

Journalism is changing rapidly, but the written word remains as important to journalists today as it was a century ago. It’s still a storytelling medium in and of itself, of course. But even if you don’t plan to work in print, you need to know how to write clearly and accurately in order to supplement or explain video and photos, to put together engaging audio and video scripts, and to pitch ideas to editors.
Field education is a central component in each student's professional education, and requires 21 hours a week for all four terms of the full-time M.S. degree. Placements provide a range of experiences to integrate with theoretical learning from class work and to develop knowledge, values, and skills for social practice.

Prerequisites: a strong undergraduate background in E-M and classical mechanics. Qualified undergraduates may be admitted with the instructors permission. The basic physics of high energy astrophysical phenomena. Protostars, equations of stellar structure; radiative transfer theory; stellar nucleosynthesis; radiative emission processes; equations of state and cooling theory for neutron stars and white dwarfs, Oppenheimer-Volkoff equation; Chandrasekhar limit; shocks and fluids; accretion theory for both disks and hard surfaces; black hole orbits and light bending.
Focusing on the body of knowledge, skills, and values that underpin and parallel course work, this seminar addresses the particular needs of the Reduced Residency student by integrating course concepts with field experience, emphasizing the socialization of the student toward the profession, and increasing their understanding of the societal and organizational contexts of the work. The format encourages learning flexibility, maximum student participation, and student support system development.
In this class, students will develop their skills at academic writing in the field of Classics, as well as their skills at critically reading the work of others. Of particular focus will be articles for academic journals, abstracts for conferences, and the fundamental principles that underlie all scholarly writing in our discipline. As the class is aimed at MA and PhD students in Classics, it is expected that students will have a moderately broad working knowledge of the field of Classics (post-bacs in Classics and graduate students from related disciplines are welcome). Junior or senior undergraduates who have taken the major seminar (or are of equivalent standing at Barnard) are welcome with instructor permission.
Journalism Essentials/Business - 1 credit
The Business of Journalism will help you to understand the challenges and vicissitudes of this period of historic flux in the journalism industry — not just for your own career development, but because we want you to be partners and innovators in determining new ways to secure the future of journalism.
Journalism Essentials/Ethics - 1 credit
Journalism Ethics explores the ethical issues that often arise in the practice of journalism, including verification of information, the relationship between personal values and journalistic decisions, issues driven by competition, and the impact of relentless deadline pressure.
Journalism Essentials/History - 1 credit
Journalism Essentials: This 7-week module explores the historical development of the values, practices and social roles that cluster around the institution of journalism. In this class, you'll also consider how the press has itself been a significant actor (for better or worse) in politics, war, reform, social movements and other events.
Journalism Essentials/Law - 1 credit
Journalism Law is designed to acquaint you with the basic protections and restrictions of the law as they apply to the practice of journalism in this global era. You’ll also explore significant court cases and fundamental legal rules in the context of political and historical realities, and journalistic standards and practices, both in the United States and internationally.

To what extent has the Strait of Gibraltar—and by extension the broader Mediterraenean— connected the communities and nations that line its shores? Alternatively, is the channel better understood as a continental frontier, one that divides Europe and Africa? How has the medieval and early modern history of conquest, migration, and expulsion in the western Mediterranean shaped our understanding of the Mediterranean refugee crises of the past few decades? What is the relationship between the representation and management of these crises and the struggles of African immigrants—both Maghrebi and sub-Saharan—to assimilate into Spain and other Europe Union nations? In a parallel way, how might the contemporary crises, as experienced and documented by refugees, journalists, novelists, and filmmakers, prompt a critical reassessment of the history and representation of previous periods of migration and displacement across the Strait of Gibraltar?
Focusing on the Strait of Gibraltar, this class is an experiment in cultural history that foregrounds the Mediterranean’s present-day political and humanitarian crises. A mixture of history, drama, fiction, and legal texts comprise the majority of our primary-source readings. In addition, we will discuss a variety of material and visual culture, including monuments, antiquities, archeological sites, photographs, and films. Historical and critical readings will include essays and book- chapters culled from the field of Mediterranean studies, as well as more specialized scholarship on captivity, migration, displacement, and the interwoven cultural and political histories of Spain and Morocco.
This course deals with how public and non-profit agencies interact with their external environment: how they generate revenue, and develop brand identity. The class further discusses the application of private sector marketing techniques to non-profit and governmental organization as well as methodologies and uses of strategic planning in the public sector.
Course Description
Students curate, organize and attend a series of lectures open to all members of the French department, including graduate students, faculty and undergraduate majors/concentrators. Working with a faculty member, they invite two speakers each semester, collaborate on the scheduling and organization of talks, introduce guests and lead the discussion.
The lecture series exposes graduate students to new work in the field, including new methodologies and emerging areas of research and teaching. By giving students the opportunity to select speakers, it actively engages them in the cultural and intellectual life of the department. Students benefit from observing the different possible formats and styles of academic talks. By organizing and scheduling events, preparing speaker introductions and moderating questions and discussion, they also develop important professional skills.
