Intro To Macroecon

The honors section goes beyond the standard study of the macro-economy and addresses some important topical issues such as Financial Crises and Income inequality. The standard textbook is augmented with additional readings related to unemployment, inflation, national income accounting, the Federal Reserve and monetary policy. The development of critical thinking and inquiry is an important part of this course. The honors enrichment includes a 5-page paper. (Gen. Ed. SB)

Writing Ethnography

This graduate seminar takes writing ethnography as its object of analysis and its subject of practice. The seminar provides students a supportive environment to gain perspective on the politics of representation and practice the arts of noticing. We delve into whether we are committed to ethnography as a genre, and if so how and why? In addition to reading ethnographies that address urgent contemporary topics, the seminar explores a range of strategies for representing social life and provides students a space to practice their own ethnographic writing.

Frontiers in Biotechnology

The goal of this course is to educate students about the scientific advances and resulting tools that have allowed the biotech revolution, to chronicle the implementation of recent advances in biotechnology, and to identify those areas of great unmet need in which biotechnology can play a major role in the future. Frontiers in Biotechnology comprises eight individual units focusing on what we view to be eight of the most cutting edge advances in biotechnology.
