In this course we will explore the physiological adaptations that allow animals to live in extreme environments, such as long duration migration, high or low temperature, low oxygen, or extreme pressures of the deep oceans. Topics will be student directed, and material will be presented in traditional lectures, through group discussions of primary literature, and through student developed presentations.

The eras of the Civil War and Reconstruction studied from the perspective of Black Americans, highlighting Black protest and resistance. Key topics include: the Civil War as slave rebellion; the process and meaning of emancipation; family, community, and labor in the aftermath of slavery; interracial politics in the Reconstruction era; legal and extralegal violence and resistance.

Theory and applications of game theory, a major tool of analysis in economics, biology, and political science. Applications include: bargaining, auctions, the "prisoner's dilemma," the "tragedy of the commons," tacit collusion, competition among firms, and strategic interactions in labor, credit, and product markets. Prerequisites: ECON 103 or RES-ECON 102 and MATH 127 or 131 or 135.

Statistical inference in parametric models is generally well-understood, but parametric assumptions are unrealistic in many settings. Semiparametric and nonparametric models provide more flexible alternatives that may better reflect our knowledge of the problem at hand, but statistical inference in these models is often challenging. In this course, we will introduce the statistical theory and methods underlying targeted inference of Euclidean parameters in semiparametric and nonparametric models. We will begin by discussing aspects of semiparametric efficiency theory.

This course is designed to give students an overview of the field of public health and health sciences. We will examine the history and philosophy of public health and basic epidemiology before exploring some of the many challenges faced by communities and public health and health sciences professionals across the world.
