This course will investigate the racialization of masculinity (and the masculinization of race) as undergirded by heteropatriarchy, settler colonialism, militarized borders and imperialism. This course will center perspectives from various "Third World Solidarity" diasporas in order to challenge Western, hegemonic and inherent legacies of masculinity as modernity's (hu)man.

This course will offer an overview of select methodologies and methods from Community-based Participatory Action Research (CBPAR), Participatory Action Research (PAR), collaborative ethnography and other social justice research interventions such as radical oral history, grassroots research collectives, experimental digital archives, research and data justice networks and organizations. We will center on questions of "accountability"; that is, to whom, for whom, and to what end do processes of accountability serve those already in power?

This course serves as an introduction to advanced topics in Biostatistics. In this course, students will learn about a range of topics, including: applied Bayesian techniques, e.g. the Gibbs sampler; multiple testing adjustments for high-dimensional data; the expectation-maximization algorithm; multiple imputation for missing data; the bootstrap for hypothesis testing; and simulation techniques for characterizing algorithm performance, including power and type-1 error rates. Areas of application will include, but are not limited to, statistical genetics and genomics.

This course explores aspects of twentieth and twenty-first century culture in relation to Benito Mussolini's Fascist dictatorship. From Italian Futurism to today's Trump administration, we will follow the development of Fascism(s) with some of the authors who lived through it and who narrated their experience. From Silone to Ginzburg, from Viganò to Primo Levi, from Bassani to Carlo Levi, we will discuss literary trends, architecture, activism and visual arts.

This course provides a philosophical and sociological interpretation of various aspects of the field of medicine. Topics include measurement of variations in rates of disease and their relationship to social characteristics and social structure, systems of care and hospitalization, and ethical concerns. Topics inclue death, abortion, human genome sequencing, and assisted suicide.

In Organizations and Inequality, we analyze how organizations create, reproduce, and also potentially challenge social inequalities. Drawing on different organizational perspectives, students will engage the challenges of ethical action in a complex world marked by competing rationalities and deep inequalities. Students will also research an organization of which they are a member and develop their own case study.
