Spring 2014 - Course Description LANT Anthropology LANT 2028 Love and Money: Intimate Transactions Faculty: Halawa. Mateusz TR 11:55 AM - 01:35 PM Credits: 4 CRN 6981 Sec A The intimate and the economic are often imagined as two separate, or even hostile. spheres of social life. If mixed, conventional wisdom holds, love and money will corrupt each other sentiments will get in the way of business, and calculation will poison passion. Our very ideals of intimacy and economic activity both rely on constantly drawing boundaries between the two. However, ethnographic evidence gathered by anthropologists and sociologists suggests that in the practice of everyday life, love and money intermingle constantly in the practices of of individuals. couples, and households and often with good results. This course serves as an introduction to social and cultural analysis of money in everyday life by way of exploring a series of messy 'intimate transactions? How does money circulate between spouses, friends, lovers, relatives, parents and children? What pleasures and profits. divisions and attachments do these exchanges produce? The course explores, among other themes: compensated and uncompensated household labor, inheritance, informal loans, remittances from those overseas, college funds. and allowance. We will discuss and debate the relationship between love and money based on anthropologcal, sociological, legal. journalistic, and literary readings. This course satisfies requirements in Writing. LAIR 2100 Postcolonial Africa Faculty: Reitman. Janet TR 10:00 AM - 11:40 AM Credits: 4 CRN 4993 Sec A Postosionial Africa is typically represented as a marginal place in the world: a place of disorder and war. How does anthropology help us to consider Africa's place in our world? Do anthropological accounts of postcolonial Africa confirm that it is a place of chaos and violence? Or does anthropology allow us to better understand how we came to think about Africa as prone to violence and marginality? This seminar will consider these questions. We will examine some of the key concepts and debates that are central to the anthropology of postcolonial Africa with an aim to developing a aitical perspective on representations of this vast continent and the diversity of practices that make Africa more than a continent. The seminar will take a thematic approach. covering topics such as kinship and ethnicity, religion and witchcraft. and economics and globalization. We will use both ethnographies and novels as the basis for discussion and debate. This course satisfies requirements In Reading and Writing.

The scale, complexity and dynamism of contemporary urbanization and the tendency toward disorder or entropy in contemporary cites is historically unprecedented. This momentous and global transformation has great social, cultural, economic and political implications and numerous causes. In this seminar course, we will examine the specific relationship between the contemporary urban revolution and globalization or the recent post-cold war integration of economic and political institutions at the global scale and we will explore their implications for our collective future. The seminar is structured around core topics such as infrastructure and urban ecology, urban inequality and uneven development and the question of urban visions and futures. Case studies are drawn from across the world and we will use several channels of analysis, including documentary films and television broadcasts, the internet. reports prepared by multilateral organizations and think tanks and, finally, your own field researches in and around New York City. Ideas will be snared in class through interactive Journals and shared reports. Students must have taken at least one prior anthropology course at the 200 level.

We will then examine the challenges to modernism posed by pop art minimalism. photography and video. and performance and conceptual art in the 1960s and 19705. As the course proceeds. we will narrow our focus to track certain problems set up by these postmodern practices as they are developed by artists in the 1980s and 1990s. including: the photomechanical challenge to painting and the unique touch of the artist's hand: the unsettled objecthood of photography. performance, and text-based work: the tension between art and document or making and recording; authorship, identity (including gender, race, and sexuality), commodification, and appropriation: the shift from medium specificity to the expanded fields of the physical. environmental, social, and political context of the artwork and its maker.

Students address artistic representations of work as well as different figurations of the artist as worker. as nonworker, as out-of-work. If the Lumnine brothers' Workers Leaving the Factory (1895) Is the first film in the history of cinema, we will also ask what happens after the leaving of the factory: the time-space of reproduction and care, of work that is overlooked and undervalued (for example. women's work*); of the refusal to work, of strike, sabotage, or anti-work politics and post-work imaginanes: of the displacement of the factory and the assembly-ll ne as the primary mode of production. Students address how artists have worked with and against the effects of the restructurations of capital and social/technological transformations that have changed the very conditions of production, especially the supposed shift from a Fordist to post-Fordist economy: the blurring of the distinction between work and life. the Increasing Importance of what has been called immaterial, communicative. or affective labor. as well as the overall dismantling of the security and stability of work in general. As we analyze the transformations of the affective composition of labor. pointing to the current fear and anxiety of wearily. unemployment, debt. we will underscore labor not only as a matter of economics but also power and subjection: the subjective effects of labor, the timespace of the body in relation to labor, the working body. the reproductive body, the fatigued body, the body at rest, the idling or drifting body. the body on strike. This history of art will be studied alongside different histories and theories of labor.

This course uses the myth of the Medusa to approach a variety of issues concerning the problems associated with looking in cinema and other visual media, including medusan ekphrastic poetry. the representation of women and violence. and the notion of forbidden and excessive images. In addition to surveying critical approaches to the study of gender and sexuality, including psychoanalytic and feminist film theory, genre. and studies of gender and sexuality in relation to race, nation, and technology, the course uses the Medusa myth as a lens to test, critique, and expand scholarly discourses in film studies, art history, and theories of gender. How. for example, might psychoanalysis have developed differently if it had taken Medusa instead of Oedipus as its foundational myth? What does Medusa offer in the consideration of monstrous women, from film noirs femmes fatales to the vengeful female ghosts of J-horror? How does the moment of Medusa's decapitation cause us to examine the intersection of vision and violence in contemporary media, both fictive and documentary? And. how might Medusa's body, or the woman's body in generalliboth as a sight to behold and a site of lookingUoffer different ways of thinking representational possibility?

Films like Memento, The Sixth Sense. A Beautiful Mind, Bin-hp, The Life of Pi, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Donnie Darko. Lost Highway. Mulholland Drive and many others, feature convoluted plots and labyrinthine narratives, characters that seem neither alive nor dead, and visuals (whether generated digitally or shot on actual locations) that are as spellbindingly seductive as they are deceptive or indecipherable. A number of books have begun to investigate these films, focusing on parallel worlds, forking path narratives and puzzling storytelling. The course will examine and explore the complexities of these new cinematic fictional worlds. It will ask what can account for this interest in multiple storyli nes, and why do audiences enjoy being challenged in their perception of what is real, imagined or purposely misleading? If the impact of digital media is clearly one of the reasons, do these films also tell us something about the effects of social networks on interpersonal interaction and the ways we perceive the world?

(b) earth scientists and social theorists. and (c) environmental-social-political mass movements. The seminar draws upon certain fundamental principles of economic analyses to evaluate the alternative designs. In particular, it invokes the concepts of efficiency and equity (and fairness) to evaluate the social, economic and environmental desirability of these designs. The theory is applied to study the cases of ecosystem designs (forests and oceans), structural designs (multipurpose river valley projects and nuclear power plants), agrarian designs (GMO crops and land use patterns), and to examine the effects of urban/industrial designs in generating environmental pollution. In light of these analyses, the seminar revisits the debate on economic growth, human welfare and ecological balance. LECO 3036 Understanding International Finance Faculty: Proano Acosta.

We pay particular attention to the developing world and the inter-relations between education and poverty. In addition, since many less-developed countries are now looking to the developed world for models of education reform and improvement (and in some cases vice versa), we will consider some of the most prominent reform models from the OECD countries (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) and how they are being adopted by less-developed countries- We will discuss the various actors in the provision and reform of education in the developing world: governments (nationals and sub-national); international multi-lateral organizations (The World Bank. the regional development banks. UNESCO. UNDP, OECD. UNICEF. etc): inter-national and local NGOs and civil society: communities, parents, schools, teachers and children: labor unions: etc. The focus of the course will be on pnmary and secondary schooling but we will consider higher education as necessary as well as the impact of labor markets. And while the course focuses on education per se, It is built on a philosophy that broader human development requires that educational issues be considered together with health, social protection, and other sectors. Building from a base in the social sciences, the course examines multidisciplinary frameworks and methodologies, and multiple dimensions (scientific. pragmatic, and global) shaping contemporary debates about education. Considerable attention will be paid to teaming how to interpret data used for educational planning, policy, and advocacy. Additional topics Include: early childhood development, gender and education, the millennium development goals (MDG's) situations of severe crisis and war, teacher training and identity, curricular and pedagogical trends, the role of information & computer technology (ICT), educational quality and opportunity.

When did the decade begin and when did it end? What were its roots? What is its legacy? How do we begin to understand a period which was characterized by upheaval and fragmentation and challenge to many of the most sacred dogmas of American life? Far more than a movement for civil rights, or a war, or a cultural phenomenon. the sixties was a period of rapid political and social change. A decade that bore witness to the highs and lows of the American experience, the 1960s has to be understood both as a watershed and as an ongoing process. The history of this long decade emphasizes the interrelationships between the specific events of the period and constant pressure of diverse political movements. Many of the major Issues we are grappling with today - the American presence in Afghanistan. conflict over immigration, school re-segregation, and cultural anxieties over gay marriage emerge from the successes, failures, and excesses of the 1960s. This seminar will look at the 1960s through multiple prisms: the Civil Rights movement. Black power, the war In Viet Nam and antiwar agitation, the assassinations, the student movements, feminism, and popular culture.

Yet the specific legacies of the war have been understood differently by different kinds of authors writing in different times, in different genres, and within different historiographical frameworks. This course examines various interpretations of the war, seeking to uncover what the war has meant and the implications of these different understandings across time. It asks: How did eye-witness accounts shape the war story? How did the understanding of the war's legacies change in light of subsequent conflicts. Including the Holocaust. the Cold War and the war in Vietnam? What role did novelists and filmmakers play in telling the war story? And how have such popular accounts intersected with those of professional historians? Why and how do particular aspects of the war gain special resonance in different moments? Finally, what is at stake now as the war recedes in time and memory? In addressing these questions, the course uses primary and secondary documents. novels and film to explore the creation and transformation of historical knowledge as new generations make meaning from the past.

Paradoxically, they did so by abandoning nationalism in favor of attention to nature and the cosmos, the minutely particular and the abstract universal. Quintessentially American in their individualism self- motivation. and optimism, they are also uncannily un•American In their refusal of consensus, their dislike of Rotarian 'socializing. and their unwillingness to court unpopularity as the result of conviction, especially as regards the wrong of slavery and the tensions that eventually led to the US Civil War. The movement they led, called Transcendentalism; was admired. transformed or mocked by their fellow American writers. including Margaret Fuller, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Sarah Ome Jewett. and Louisa May Alcott. and we will read fiction and criticism by writers along with the essays. poems, and meditations of Emerson and Thoreau.

But inside every sense-memory lies coded information about how the person remembering is situated in the world in terms of class, race. gender and history. When a writer puts memories into narrative form. those 'situational' details (about class. race. gender and history) often determine the nature of the narrative: its 'design' (how the narrative pieces fit together). Its tone. its ultimate -argument.' This course will start with a text that seems almost formlessly constructed from 'pure' sense memories (that is, the writer creates the illusion of experiencing the memories again as she writes): Virginia Woolf's 'A Sketch,' in her collection of autobiographical writing. Moments of Being. It will expand outwards into a series of memoirs whose writers have invented their own ways of structuring core sense memories.

Through literature. film and philosophy we look at how the American dream gives way to our experience of Paris as areal' cityUa complex and alien urban landscape. Exiles and foreigners often exist on the surface of life. Literature. film and philosophy can offer us. as strangers, small windows into the Complexities of French culture. Each Is only a small window, but by taking a variety of perspectives. we can tap Into some of the deeper currents of French life and thought. We examine some key French philosophical texts, taking them out of the realm of academic theory, and placing them in their original cultural context, to see what kind of window onto French culture they provide. We also link these philosophical texts to their literary and filmic counterparts, to see how the French imagine themselves through these art forms. We view a number of classic and contemporary French films. and look at what the French call -The 7th an,' cinema, as both a window onto daily life In French culture. and cinema as a premier French cultural export: the image they present to the world. We respond to the readings with a series of essays. To 'essay in French means to go forth, to try, to make an attempt. and the essay, as exemplified by Montaigne, is a literary form of discovery, an attempt without a destination. Through the essays, we also question our American identity in relation to our discovery of French culture. Auteurs and authors include Woody Allen. Gertrude Stein, James Baldwin. Louis Mane. Francome Own, Jacques Deride. Blaise Pascal and Michael Haneke.

Yet how are we to approach Shakespeare's longest, densest and most philosophically self-conscious drama? In addition to reading the play together slowly, collectively, and line by line. we will look at the play in the company of a number of readers, notably Carl Schmitt. Walter Benjamin. Hegel, Schelling, Nietzsche, Freud. Lacan. and Heiner Mueller. A number of problematics will be encountered: the political stakes of Hamlet, the nature of male and female sexuality in the play, the problem of nihilism, the theological background of Hamlet and the way in which it characterizes our so-called 'modernity, tragedy and the production of shame. It is hoped that our reading will add up to a kind of Hamlet doctnne that might tell us something about why this play continues to fascinate us and shape what we think of as our present.

Sin the 19th century. many of Darwin's staunchest admirers, as well as many of his fiercest critics, agreed that evolutionary theory, if true, has significant implications for our beliefs about right and wrong and what the good life is like. SA fair number of the British clergy. for instance, argued that because of these implications. evolutionary theory itself must be false.1The thought that evolutionary theory has ethical Implications is still widespread today, as anyone familiar with contemporary debates about the teaching of evolution in public schools is sure to recognize. In this course, we will approach the question of the relationship between evolutionary theory and ethics historically. awe will begin with Darwin's own views, before proceeding to those of the most famous 19th century evolutionary ethicist. Herbert Spencer. Mee will then look at a variety of criticisms of Darwin's and Spencer's views, both those of followers of Darwin as well as those of critics of evolutionary theory more generally. SWe will repeat this cycle of advocacy and criticism twice more: first with regard to sociobiology in the 1970's and second with regard to evolutionary psychology in the 1990's and today.

Will markets unmake them? This course provides an introduction to the subfield of comparative politics by examining the focal point of contemporary political power the state. Beginning with the origin of the modern nation-state in Europe. we will trace its postcolonial development through the twentieth century and consider its frequently remarked decline in the present. How did this new form of political organization arise. and how did it interact with emerging nationalism? How has it been reshaped by the spread of liberal democracy? How do its operations vary in diverse cultural contexts? How can it effectively respond to pressure from popular movements, international institutions and the globahzed economy? While investigating these questions, we will also discuss the methods and approaches that shape our knowledge of political institutions and processes. LPOL 2051 Intro to Mod Poll Theory Faculty: Italyvas, Andrea TR 01:50 PM • 03:30 PM Credits: 4 CRN 6788 Sec A This course offers an introduction to canonical texts. central concepts• and the main themes and debates that have shaped modern European political thought from the beginning of the sixteenth to the closing of the nineteenth century. What is modern political theory? What makes it modern and to what attributes does it own its modernity? Certainly there is, on the one hand. the rise of a new form of political association. the modern state as the primary subject of politics• law. and violence and. on the other, a gradual diva-variation of the public sphere from church and religion. But what principles and values, aspirations and ends. came to animate the modern political vocabulary. thus distinguishing it from a before and an after? And how did the Enlightenment affect political discourse and debate? The course focuses on this conceptual and theoretical innovation in modern political discourse. We will discuss the rise of sovereignty as the master category of modem political thought and engage with the deployment of social contract arguments to explain, subvert, and re-found political power, social obligation. and individual consent. We will. of course, consider theories of disobedience, resistance, and revolution and the modern reinvention of democracy. Hence, of central importance are questions related to popular sovereignty and representation, the split between government and society. the dynamics of participation and inclusion, the tension between individual rights and political liberty, the private/public distinction, and the intertwinement of law and power in the making of constitutional democracy. Finally, we will examine the transition from nature to history and the struggle between the universal and the particular as reflected in the five intellectual and political protagonists of this period: republicanism, absolutism, conservatism, liberalism, and socialism. 00ke or the Dean 1a. 29/2013 LPOL 3008 Rights of the Accused Faculty: 'breaths, Lisa MW 01:50 PM 03:30 PM Credits: 4 CRN 6983 Sec A This course provides an understanding of the constitutional and statutory rules that govern the United States criminal justice system. The US constitutional system attempts to balance many complicated and often conflicting concerns. The Constitution has several amendments specifically designed to protect the constitutional rights of the criminally accused. Prosecutors, as representatives of the government are present to enforce the laws and to protect the general citizenry. At the same time, they pledge to protect and uphold the Constitution. This raises a fundamental question: how does a government defend and protect its citizens from illegal activity and uphold its constitutional principles protecting the accused? This course examines the rights of the accused provided in the Constitution and how those dons have been treated by the government and interpreted by the United States Supreme Court.

What are the politics that generate beliefs that we need borders? How are barriers between states constructed. and who are the actors that participate in their construction? And how. where. and why do people negotiate state boundaries? In this course. we analyze not only physical borders, but also bureaucratic barriers to movement and walls in virtual space. A lot of research about politics focuses on what happens within individual states or an international state system. But borderlands-physical or virtual-often have their own politics distinct from those of the states on whose peripheries they exist. In the course we emphasize research that seeks to understand politics in contexts that transcend the boundaries of states. Through a variety of case studies drawn from different continents, we consider the local political economies borders generate, and the ways people find to move around and across them. We also examine questions such as: how do walls made by authoritarian regimes differ from walls built by countries considered to be democracies? Finally, we consider how the study of borders and walls can change how we think about politics within states. LPOL 3029 Biodiversity and Politics Faculty: McPhearson.

Patrick MW 11:55 AM - 01:35 PM Credits: 4 CRN 6700 Sec A This course provides students with a broad overview of social psychological research and theorizing. Central to the course is the Idea that human beings are not isolated entitles who process information like computers, but social animals engaged in a complex network of social relations, driven by goals and motivations and constrained by cultural worldviews. We will analyze how this affects our perceptions of and attitudes towards individuals (including ourselves) and groups. We will examine why people conform, how they influence each other, why they firmly hold on to stereotypes and why they engage in pro- or antisocial behaviors. By analyzing these phenomena we will see how theories of human behavior can be tested rigorously via laboratory experiments and field studies.

Why did you choose to write what you have written. about your own dreams. or sexuality, or even the death dnve? Why did you change your mind when you did, early on about trauma, later about repetition and anxiety? Why speak the way you do about human desire. with your incessant references to penis-envy and anal eroticism and castration? Why Freud, did you find women so elusive and fascinating? And even, why Freud. after everything, after plumbing the conflicts around incest and aggression, did you think you could analyze your own daughter Anna, or throw out your closest disciples. Jung and Adler and Ferenczi. without sensing the consequences it would have on your own Institution? LPSY 3042 Environmental Psychology Faculty: Maass.

We will examine the relationship between objective brain processes and first-person awareness, findings from psychology and neuroscience. as well as discussing altered states (drugs. out-of-body- experiences). lucid dreams. mysticism, and Western and Eastern philosophy. What Is the relationship between consciousness and attention? Can a machine ever be conscious? Is consciousness fundamental in the universe las Eastern philosophies argue) or did it emerge as matter became ever more complex (as Western science insists)? Is there a stream of consciousness or is it Just an illusion? Do we realty ever make conscious decisions or are these decisions already made before we become conscious of them? What is this thing we call consciousness and how does It fit Into (or can it fit into) the current materialist orthodox view of the universe? Are our brains capable of ever understanding the nature of awareness. or is it forever beyond our reach? These are some of the questions we will be asking during the course.

Scott TR 10:00 AM 11:40 AM Credits: 4 CRN 5953 Sec A This course offers a global perspective on the changing character of cities and the increasing importance that consumption and consumer culture plays in the construction of urban life. Consumption has become both a means and motor of social change: an active ingredient in the construction of space and place: and in constructing subjectivity and social selfhood. Cities are simultaneously being restructured as engines of consumption - providing the contexts in which goods and services are marketed, compared, purchased, used, and displayed -just as they are themselves increasingly being commodifled and. in a very real sense, consumed. Increasingly. forms of spectacle have come to shape how cities are imagined and to influence their character and the practices through which we know them from advertising and the selling of real estate, to popular music and youth cultures, to the regeneration of urban areas under the guise of the heritage and tourist industries. Using examples of cities such as New York. Sydney. Barcelona. Rio de Janeiro. Toronto, London, and Johannesburg this course explores how image and practice have become entangled in the mutual and dynamic relationship between urban development and consumption. <div>This course is open to all Bachelor Level Students.<rdiv> LURB 2063 Gender.

Unlike Western commentators who are In the grip of "Sinomania", significant contradictory trends "paradoxes of prosperity' will also be taken into consideration.' UGLB 3521 Humanitarian Intervention and Responsibility to Protect Faculty: Oltenia Anna W 12:10 PM - 02:50 PM Credits: 3 CRN 7306 Sec A The latest Syrian crisis has reopened the debate on interventions for missing interventions) in internal conflicts with the declared goal to stop mass killing and genocide. Today, as at the end of the Cold War in the early 1990s, this type of intervention poses serious challenges to accepted notions of state sovereignty. national interest human rights and war. When and how is it just to intervene? Why do interventions happen in some cases and not in others that are equally grave? If intervention is not a right but a responsibility, what is the force of Responsibility to Protect (R2P) as an emerging norm? What are the outcomes of intervention or the lack of it? This class provides an analytical framework to address these questions by exploring the political, legal and ethical aspects of intervention in the context of the post-Cold War world. It takes a case-study approach. focusing on countries where the decision was made to use (or not to use) force to stop mass atrocities: Haiti. Somalia. Bosnia and Herzegovina. Kosovo. East Timor. Rwanda. Darfur. Libya and Syria. There will also be some discussion of the cases of Afghanistan and Iraq, where intervention to protect human rights became an additional ad bellum cause and later an integral part of state building. The overall focus of the class is on the complex relationship between humanitarianism and war. Wile. of the Dean 1O'29/2013 UGLB 3522 The Politics of Ald in Africa Faculty: Rahman. Rhea MW 01:50 PM - 03:30 PM Credits: 4 CRN 7359 Sec A From so-called natural disasters such as drought and famine, to the perception of 'failed states' and corrupt dictators. Africa is consistently represented as a place in need of outside assistance. Yet many scholars have asked whether foreign aid practices have actually done more harm than good on the continent, The recent rise of non-Western reiief and funding agencies (particularly from the Gulf States, India and China) has made the field of foreign aid In Africa more diverse and therefore more contentious. While development and humanitarian aid organizations are often assessed in the language of political science and international relations, this course asks how anthropological examinations of aid in Africa can offer valuable insight into the politics of foreign Intervention in Africa. we will develop skills to critically acciwa the effects of international aid on the continent, asking what kinds of social realities are made possible, and which are possibly foreclosed, as a result of these aid practices. UGLB 3602 China Urbanized: The Condition of the Chinese Middle Class Faculty: Ping. Lel MW 01:50 PM - 03:30 PM Credits: 4 CRN 7838 Sec A Radical urbanization has now become one of the most concerned cultural-political terms in contemporary post-socialist China. It is time to study the politics of the emergence of the Chinese middle class as well as the disappearance of once well preserved urban spaces by critically investigating the intertwined processes of privatization. urbanization and globalization. In this context this course will center on some of the crucial questions such as how to understand the violence of massive demolition of urban spaces in relation to the irony of the Chinese Property Rights Law, how to reflect on the plight of the Chinese middle class and their blind pursuit of homeownership dreams, and how to interpret the particular class condition and its political weakness. Therefore by introducing some of the seminal and primary texts on modern Chinese history, cinema and urban studies, this course will allow us to rethink the impact of Chinese hyper urbanism as well as the changing social, class and spatial distinctions in the era of global capitalism. UGLB 371.0 CRS: Skills for Global Change - Environmental Justice and Resource Conflicts Faculty: Shomali, Mona M 04:00 PM - 06:40 PM Credits: 4 CRN 4778 Sec A In this class. we will examine a series of pivotal humanitarian conflicts that involve both human rights neglect and degradation and inequitable distribution of natural resources. The course material will draw upon certain case examples from human rights hotspots in the developing world and here in the U.S. In our class discussions, we will consider various multidisciplinary approaches and definitions of the 'problem' and the 'solution.' We will learn about the vantage point of different affected communities. as well as actors from the political, social, economic and environmental disciplines. Unlike the typical 'environmental' discourse, our focus will be environmental justice, which encompasses: social equity and low income marginalized populations that are often left out of the western agenda of environmentalism. Unfortunately, the affected communities that pay the heaviest price of environmental pollution and degradation have also reaped the least benefits and rewards of modernization and development. As reflected by the name of this course, we will be looking at the skills for making a certain type of affected change or improvement for the betterment of human populations in cases where communities, NGOs and state actors have built international alliances to affect change or an intervention. MI the cases we are examining in class can be characterized by ongoing violence or political/human rights conflicts. Cases to be studied include: (a) petroleum resource wars in Iran and Nigeria. (b) the right to water in South Africa and Bolivia. Ic) environmental justice and urban pollution in the United States, and (d) food policy and farmworker safety In India and California. This collaborative research seminar is a requirement for Global Studies Majors, but is open to all Bachelor Level students after completing at least 30 credits.

Bernadette M 09:00 AM 11:40 AM Credits: 4 CRN 5882 Set A The U.S. resettles about 80.000 refugees annually of whom 35 to 40% are children. This collaborative research course introduces students to concepts related to forced migration with a focus on the experiences of refugee children. In the first part of the course we will read key texts which discuss the definition of refugee. refugee camp experiences. and the three permanent solutions for refugees outlined by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (VNHCR), with a particular emphasis on resettlement in third countries. Students will learn how the youth whom they will encounter In the service learning component of the class (see below) experience these transitions from being a resident of their country to becoming a refugee and then finding refuge In the US. Youth and their families are aided by Voluntary Agencies (Volags) to ease their transition to a new society. In the second part of the course we will discuss issues that are pertinent to refugee youth such as assimilation, acculturation, and the needs of Students with Interrupted Formal Education (SIFE). Ultimately the course will juxtapose theory and practice and by doing so. knowledge will be mutually reinforced and enriched. This course Is comprised of regular seminar meetings AND a substantial service learning component. Students will serve as tutors in the IRCs Youth Program for a minimum of 3 hours per week throughout the semester. Students will have some options regarding their volunteer sites (boroughs, ages and ethnicities of the children to be tutored). In this capacity they will see the innerworkings of programs designed to aid refugee youth's adjustment to their new environment and to succeed academically. Thus, they will be able to make connections between their experiences and observations and the theory/readings discussed in class. Given that students will work with youth all students have to undergo a background check administered by the IRC. In collaborative research projects, students will create a guide for school teachers to help them understand and assist their refugee (and immigrant) students better. For this project students will draw on existing research and data. In addition, students will collect data on challenges faced by refugee youth through participant observation in the service learning component and through semi-structured interviews with key informants such as IRC staff/teachers and selective refugee youth. The guide/Wog/report which the students will compile will include a theoretical section on forced migration and refugee resettlement and a practical part which will include suggestions on how to assist refugee children. Thus, the guide/blot/report will enable students to demonstrate their theoretical knowledge of issues related to refugees/immigrants as well as to demonstrate the knowledge which they have gained through volunteering with the IRC. DOLS 431.6 India and China Interactions Faculty: Ling, Lily W 08:00 PM • 09:50 PM Credits: 3 CRN 6087 Sec A This course is designed for students interested in Sinoindian Interactions. We will cover the historical and contemporary exchanges between India and China Oven their dramatically different cultural, political• and historical experiences. We aim not only to understand the uniqueness of the connections between India and China. but also how the two civilizations have contributed to global exchanges and flows. The course will highlight similarities and differences between the two societies, their mutual perceptions, cultural exchanges and influences, patterns of development causes of conflict as well as possibilities for cooperation, and their role in world history and the contemporary global economy. In addition to reading primary and second materials. students will also study films and documentaries.

How has 'crisis' (not a new concept in terms of Europe at all) been conceptualized? This class explores the different disciplinary points of view from which these questions can be approached. The class examines key periods in European history such as the Weimar Republic. WWII and the Holocaust. the European Community in 1973, and political crisis in Greece throughout the 20th century. It also addresses the different types of perceived crises in the European context: migration, the debate on the veil, political movements. and resistances to globalization. At the end of the semester students will be able to argue on ❑te meanings of Europe. the various disciplinary views deployed to address it as a problematic. and debates that surround It as a concept and a formulation. Students will also learn how to produce and organize a viable research project from the perspective of European Studies. The course will offer opportunities to hear from guest speakers and faculty about the ways In which they set up their research projects. the emerging currents in their respective fields, and the potentialities for new scholarship. The course will also explore opportunities for archival research In the city. UGLB 4450 Economic Crisis and Its Global Consequences Faculty: Wolff. Richard M 04:00 PM - 05:50 PM Credits: 3 CRN 7217 Sec A This course focuses on why the global economic crisis since 2007 is lasting so long and cutting so deep, why bailouts of major financial markets and enterprises failed to end it. and why austerity has become the major government policy to address it. We will also contrast the consequences for different parts of the world economy of the crisis, the bailouts, and austerity. Finally, we will examine alternative policies. how they would have affected the global economy differently, and why they have not yet been applied.

If so. how? What policy options are open to successor regimes during a post-transition or post -conflict period? How do these policy options relate to broader goals, such as peace, stability, or democracy? This course seeks to answer these questions. The course begins with an exploration of why, or even if, societies should confront past human rights abuse and atrocity. Drawing on film and literature. as well as accounts by victims and arguments by victim movements, the course examines arguments about justice and democracy-building that have been advanced to support the field of transitional justice. The course then examines the main strategies that have emerged for an engagement with the past. The theme of - reconciliation*" will also be discussed throughout the course.

A quarter century after the end of the Cold War, there is no denying the reality of American power u in political, cultural, and economic terms. Yet debates go on about relations between the U.S. and the world, from international politics to law to economics. Questions persist about the use of American power and force. from Kosovo to Somalia to Syria. American culture is attractive and an object of sharp criticism. This course examines the elements of American power a its political, military, economic, and cultural dimensions. Where does that power come from, and how is It sustained? Should we view relations between the U.S. and other countries as leadership. hegemony, or imperial domination? What Is the meaning of democracy as an aim and an instrument of U.S. policy?

Shane R 10:00 AM - 11:15 AM Credits: 0 am 6759 Sec A In this course. we'll delve into a range of approaches to fundamental questions raised by the theory that in the work of making, designers draw on 'tacit knowledge' a things known, but not articulated. by the knower. What are the implications of tacit knowledge, and tacit beliefs, for design that seeks to make and change the world(s) in which we live? And what are the impacts on design when these tacit Ideas are about structures of race, class. gender, sexuality, ability and nation, or what Ruth Wilson Gilmore. a professor of geography. calls the fatal coupling of power and difference"? Working through perspectives of both designers and 'non-designers; this course will examine the social and political locations u and the tacit and explicit ideas that shape them of designed objects and systems, as well as collaborative and participatory design processes and ways of working. We will use the emerging context of 'social design."social innovation; and 'design for change,' In which designers from a range of fields are working locally and internationally to utilize design processes and create artifacts and systems intended to address serious social, ecological, and economic matters, as a framework, asking how differences In stakeholders' ideas about what constitutes design 'problems' and 'solutions' in these projects might both limit and expand capacities for design. The course. appropriate for anyone who makes or uses designed things and systems. will draw on key analyses of contemporary and historical relationships of power and cultural meanings, including Cultural Studies, Queer and Feminist Theory, Critical Prison Studies, and Visual Cultural and Design Studies, to help interpret and think through these questions.<div>Students must register for both the lecture and discussion section of this course.<div> ULEC 2221 Worldmaking Design and Designing in Social and Political Context Discussion Faculty: IBA.

The focus will be on the globalization of the real economy - production and labor - and finance. Underpinning these concepts are the frameworks of supply and demand, how companies behave, and how governments try to regulate them. This course aims to develop an analysis of the current economic crisis, and will include discussion of variations in capitalist economies and an overview of the institutions and dynamics of growth in the post- W.W. II period: their breakdown in the 1960s: the spread of international crisis In the 1970s: and the rise of neoliberalism as a response and the crises of various neoliberal strategies that ensued in the 19805 to the present. Subjects will include austerity and debates about debt levels and debates about immigration and international banking regulation. The course will be built around case studies and student projects, but will also involve a survey of fundamental principles of economics. The goal is economic literacy, as upon completion of the course. students will be able to read the newspaper, government reports, and some economic articles. and interpret the events with regard to the goals of sustainable and equitable growth, and will be able to write and speak intelligently on economics issues using statistics.

Yet while the scales may be international or global, these environmental issues are generated in highly charged local contexts that bring people, animals. plants. rocks, and technology into collision in unusual ways. The course investigates how these diverse actors come together in global environmental politics. using concepts of power, sovereignty. resistance, and surveillance to make sense of these relations. In the first part of the course, we discuss some common political ways of framing global environmental problems. The remainder of the course will focus on specific case studies. ranging from the environmental surveillance of migratory leatherback turtles in the Atlantic Ocean. to the changing nature of wilderness preservation, to the wolves, moose, and scientists who co-inhabit an isolated island in Lake Superior. <div>Students must register for both the lecture and discussion section of this course.</d iv> ULEC 2591 Global Environmental Politics: Discussion Faculty TBA, Faculty T 10:00 AM 11:15 AM Credits: 3 CRN 6751 Sec A This is the required discussion section for ULEC 2590 (the required lecture for Global Environmental Politics).

Cinemetrics combines lessons in ecological surveillance and human empathy through participatory freehand drawing and digital video exercises. These exercises are self-reflective methods of watching, participating, and recording the larger patterns of change around us in order to set In motion new patterns of change. Using phenomenology, semiotics and cinematographic techniques of perception and representation, students examine and record their own bodies, clothing, domestic objects, friends, strangers, interiors, and New York street life in terms of shape, form, space. movement and time for instance how weather patterns and traffic movements affect social life. The recognition of patterns of change forms a basis for developing strategies for initiating subtle transformations in the dynamics of the world around us. The course uses as examples three films by Yasujiro Ozu, Jean-Luc Godard and John Cassavetes. employing the cinema techniques of framing, shooting and assembling movement and time Images combined with performance, free hand drawing and mapping exercises. <div>Students must register for both the lecture and discussion section of this course.cdiv> ULEC 2601 Cinemetrles: DSC Faculty TBA.

This course explores these connections. by examining the relationship between art power. and visual culture from the birth of modernism and modernity in the nineteenth century to the global, digital era. Through this framework. the question of the politics of art. or how visual representations are 'political' will be addressed. We will examine the birth of modernity in the nineteenth century. marked by the invention of new technologies, the onslaught of industrialization, and the spread of Imperialism, which shaped relations between the West and different nations and cultures until the post-colonial era. How did visual practices reveal social and economic relations, and/or actively shape cultural attitudes? Through case studies, will trace these issues into the period of the two World Wars. in which visual modes (from anworks to architecture and film) were marshaled to celebrate state power, to challenge its hold, or to generate a new political order. In the postwar era, we will examine the expansion of the media landscape, the invention of new technologies, and the emergence of revolutionary politics, and then finally. the advent of globalization after the fall of the Berlin Wall. asking again how visual practices responded to these conditions and sought to intervene into dominant structures of power. Throughout. we will ask not only how visual representations underwent a change, but how we. as visual and perceptual subjects simultaneously have undergone a radical transformation. with the ultimate question of what does it mean to 'see' and how do we see? <div>Students must register for both the lecture and discussion section of this course.</div> ULEC 2731 Power and Visuality: DSC Faculty: IBA, Faculty W 04:00 PM 05:15 PM Credits: 3 CRN 7370 Sec 0 This is the required discussion section for ULEC 2730 (the required lecture for Power and Visuality).

T 12:00 PM • 01:15 PM Credits: 0 CRN 5903 Sec A This course describes the dramatic shift in the conditions around which literature was produced in modernity. Economic changes and the invention of the printing press helped writers break away from the court and patronage of the princely, aristocratic, ecclesiastical or wealthy elites. As distinct traditions of reading and writing became a canon all literate readers were expected to know, authors retooled classic stories with a broader, more secular readership in mind. Literature became a laboratory in which words were pressed into service in a process of questioning truth and reality. Through a study of great modern authors (Shakespeare. Goethe. Dostoevsky. Kafka. Virginia Woolf and others). students examine a complex interplay between the truth-telling and fictionalizing impulses in writing and reading. Through close study, students will achieve an understanding of the new ideas and techniques leading to the surpassing degree of irony and self- awareness that characterizes today's literature.
