A lot of policy work is contingent on who gets to leverage, correct, or tell the story of the past. This course will push students to think about the historical context of policy work. We will learn a variety of ways of studying past policies using historical methods and discuss in detail the politics of how we remember (and forget) policies. This course will focus on both polices with obvious historical context (like confederate memorials or reparations), and examples where the past is less obvious (like privacy and social media).

The significance of large, complex organizations like schools, hospitals, businesses, religions and government. How such organizations identify goals and achieve them. How such organizations change over time and why.

The overarching topic for this one-unit course is how to be as balanced, happy, and productive as possible while facing the rigors and challenges of life in a PhD program. Each semester will center around a particular question and a particular book. Possible topics include: Is a faculty job right for me? How do I get myself organized? How do I make myself get work done? Does "balance" really exist, and if so, how do I find it? How do I gain skills I somehow missed out on? How can mindfulness help me be happier? How do I overcome imposter syndrome?
