    When Offered: One-time only; fall 2021.
    Instructor(s): F. Lozano
    The US Health Care System is fraught with many problems. Economics is widely applied in government and the private sector, in the form of Health Economics, to understand and address these widely known problems including how to address COVID-19. Have you ever wondered why health care costs so much in the USA or why pharmaceuticals cost so much? Have you ever wondered how health insurance works and why Health Insurance is a good thing but why so many people are uninsured or what happens when someone cannot afford health insurance? Have you ever wondered why there are so many disparities in health by race and income or why health is better when the economy is flourishing than in a recession? Did you know that African Americans, Native Americans, and Latinos are more likely to die from COVID-19 than individuals who are white? Have you wondered why that may be and what can be done about it? Have you ever wondered whether economics might provide insights into how to address the number of people with behavioral health or mental health issues? Have you wondered what is being done to address those individuals whose mental health has deteriorated due to COVID-19? Have you ever wondered whether economics could be used to reduce the number of people who smoke and vape and thus threaten the health of themselves and others? Have you ever wondered why there was a shortage or providers to treat various conditions or why doctors and hospitals have been devastated financially due to COVID-19 and may close? This course will explain how fundamental economic concepts such as supply, demand, monopoly and market power, risk and insurance, substitutes and complements, externalities, taxation and cost-benefit and cost-effectiveness analysis, can be used to better understand and solve some of these huge and devastating health issues in our society. It also will explain how basic economic concepts influence human behavior and impact personal health through decisions regarding how much care to get from doctors, emergency rooms and hospitals, including during the COVID-19 pandemic.  It will also explain the types of decisions that are made using cost-benefit and cost-effectiveness analysis.

  • ECON134 PO - Economic Analysis of Politics

    When Offered: Last offered fall 2019.
    Instructor(s): M. Dold
    Credit: 1

    How can politics solve collective action problems? Why do some policies fail? The economic analysis of politics, also known as public choice or political economy, presents a coherent analytical framework to tackle these puzzling questions. It starts with the observation that individual motivation in politics is not fundamentally different from the motivation of market participants. Therefore, economists can apply their analytical tools to analyze the behavior of political actors. With the rise of behavioral economics, economists have started to apply models of bounded rationality to the study of political processes. This course will cover the standard rational choice approach and end with a discussion of current research topics in behavioral political economy. The course comprises four parts: (I) normative foundations (ethical theories, collective goals, Pareto concepts); (II) social dilemmas (externalities, coordination failure, commitment problem); (III) possibilities and constraints of public policy (strategic adjustment, dynamic inconsistency, special interests); (IV) current issues in behavioral political economy (populism, the role of the media, irrational voting). The course will not discuss politics institution by institution. Instead, the objective of this course is to develop some habits of mind that enable the students see the world of politics through the analytical lens of economics. Prerequisites: ECON 051 PO   or ECON 052 PO .

  • ECON135 PO - Analysis of Public Projects: Benefits and Costs

    When Offered: Last offered spring 2017.
    Instructor(s): B. Cutter
    Credit: 1

    Benefit-cost analysis is an important analytical tool that is used worldwide to decide which public projects to pursue and what regulations are viable. Benefit-cost analysis is required for major regulations in the United States and is increasingly used to support policy decisions around the world. Understanding its advantages and limitations, and being able to distinguish well-conducted from poor analysis, is an important skill. This class will cover the key components of benefit cost analysis including estimating impacts using market prices, as well as outcomes that are not easily measured in monetary terms (such as environmental quality, health, and longevity.) This class will also examine the history of benefit cost analysis. It will focus on water projects especially, as well as other public infrastructure projects. The key student goal is to be able to conduct a basic benefit cost analysis, and to be able to critique benefit cost analyses. Letter grade only. Prerequisites: ECON052 PO.

  • ENGL010 PO - Introduction to Close Reading

    When Offered: Offered alternate years; next offered fall 2020
    Instructor(s): C. Rosenfeld
    This course will focus on the central method of literary criticism known as “close reading.” Close reading begins, not with the question, “What do these words mean?” but instead, the question, “What do these words say?” And then, “What if these words mean just what they say?” And then, “What would have to be true about the world in which this poem or story operates in order for these words to mean just what they say?” Through our iterative encounter with these and related questions, we will consider how literature compels us to revise what we know, or think we know, about the world and how it operates. It is the central argument of this class that close reading allows us to understand poetic and fictional worlds according to their discrete and unique logic; it is the political gamble of this course that close reading the worlds of fiction and poetry permits us to see ‘this’ world; ‘the actual, real, or historical world’ in its capacity to be otherwise. Readings will range from Isabella Whitney, George Herbert, and John Donne to Shirley Jackson, Aimee Bender, and Carmen Maria Machado. We will watch a few films (Hitchcock’s Rope and Lamorisse’s The Red Balloon) and we will read example of close reading from the visual arts (e.g. T.J. Clark).

    Credit: 1.0

    The novel is an impossible pursuit, but some are more impossible than others. If, as in the poet Randall Jarrell’s definition, “a novel is a prose narrative of a certain length with something wrong with it,” then the novels studied in this course might be called, for their formal strategies or imaginative or verbal excesses, “prose narratives with more than a few things wrong with them.” Making uncommon demands, they raise the risk/reward quotient for their readers (and, obviously, their authors as well), and exchange the usual consolations of fiction for the possibility of plunging the reader into an unforgettable experience, even as they beg to go unread or at least unfinished. Letter grade only. May be repeated once for credit. (H5)

  • ENGL059 JT - Ovidian Figures

    When Offered: Fall 2020.
    Instructor(s): C. Rosenfeld
    Credit: 1

    Ovid’s Metamorphoses begins with the poet’s “intention” “to tell of bodies changed/ to different forms.”  This course takes up that poem’s iterative, almost compulsive, attempt to capture the very moment at which one “body” ceases to be itself by transforming into something else. Tracing Ovid’s narrative scenes, including the myths of Apollo and Daphne, Echo and Narcissus, Actaeon, Philomela, and Pygmalion (to name a few)  across centuries of retelling, refashioning, and reimagining, we will ask: How does one body, one constellation of matter, assume another shape? What is the relation of the human body to the plants and animals and minerals that it can become? How might the design concept of “affordance” encourage us to rethink the capacities of form? Most importantly, we will attempt to answer these questions through two distinct, historically competitive, but mutually generative modalities of inquiry: the verbal and the visual. Co-taught by a literary critic who specializes in poetry and poetic theory and a painter who specializes in figure drawing, course readings and assignments will move across these fields, requiring students to both analyze and create, write and draw, describe and make. Possible topics include: the temporalities of verbal and visual arts; ekphrasis (or the verbal depiction of the visual arts); enargeia (or the “vivid” style of language); the blazon (or the piecemeal depiction of the human body); human and post-human; psychoanalytic and feminist theory; history and philosophy of science; theories of form; bodily violence and the aesthetic; the fragmented body; abstraction as a strategy for defying categorization; perversion and developing a moral discourse on perception.

    When Offered: Last offered spring 2016.
    Instructor(s): D. Berton Emerson
    Credit: 1

    This course surveys the literature of the American West in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries through the lens of two conflicting discourses: “the myth of the frontier” and “a legacy of conquest.” Touching down at key moments in the development of the imagined and actual West, we investigate a variety of supplementary discourses fueling nineteenth-century westward expansion and settlement (e.g. empire for liberty, manifest destiny, gold rush) and their perpetuation and evolution in the twentieth century (e.g. closing of the frontier, Hollywood, Route 66). Texts range from the travel narratives of Lewis and Clark and Mark Twain to the social protests of John Rollin Ridge and Maria Amparo Ruiz de Burton to the modernist experiments of Nathanael West, Joan Didion, and Don DeLillo. Through this broad survey of western American literature, students encounter a variety of voices competing over the symbolic and the manifest representation of a highly coveted territorial space. Letter grade only.

    Credit: 1

    It has been proposed that the basis of prehistoric religion (and indeed the origin of human consciousness itself) is the encounter with other worlds that can be brought on by certain hallucinogenic plants. In this seminar we will examine how archaic “techniques of ecstasy” survived, more or less underground, into the European Middle Ages, as well as inquire more generally into the nature and status of inebriation, poisoning, and visionary trance states. To be considered: love potions in medieval romances; the relations between mystical experiences and plant-derived ecstasies; the use of hallucinogens (mandrake, belladonna, etc.) by “witches”; the history of medicine and alchemy; dream visions and astral travel; the pursuit of stupor. Authors may include: Chretien de Troyes, Hildegard of Bingen, B’roul, Julian of Norwich, Abu Nawas, Marie de France, Fernando de Rojas, Walter Benjamin, and the Popol Vuh.
