Course Description
How do young children learn to communicate, form relationships, or even understand the world around them? In this course, students explore the fascinating journey of early childhood development-from the first smile to the first steps, and beyond. Designed for students interested in education, psychology, social work, or related fields, this course provides a deeper understanding of how children grow physically, emotionally, socially, and cognitively during their first formative years.
Through a blend of key developmental theories and practical insights, we'll look at how early experiences shape a child's future. How do family, culture, and society influence development? Why are attachment and emotional regulation so crucial for children's well-being? We'll dive into these questions while exploring milestones from infancy through toddlerhood, the importance of language, and how social interactions foster emotional growth. Students will also gain a broad overview of the American educational system and how it has evolved to support young learners. By the end of the course, students will not only understand the key principles of child development but also how to apply this knowledge to create supportive, nurturing environments in classrooms, clinics, and beyond.
Whether students are interested in becoming an educator, psychologist, social worker, or simply want to understand more about the growth of children, this course will equip them with the tools needed to support healthy development and positive outcomes for kids.

Course Description
Are human rights still relevant in promoting social justice and freedom in the 21st Century? Human rights law and advocacy have been central to international politics since the end of World War II. However, recent rises in authoritarianism and anti-liberal regimes have raised new questions on whether the human rights framework is still capable of addressing injustices in the modern world. This course introduces students to the law and practice of human rights as well as the challenges of enforcing rights in an international environment that has grown increasingly hostile to principles of human dignity and personal freedom.
Students review the philosophical foundations of human rights and then examine human rights from two perspectives. First, the legal perspective introduces them to basic principles and rules of international law and the main international organizations and mechanisms designed for promoting and enforcing human rights. Second, they adopt the role of social scientist. We debate evidence on the effectiveness of human rights law and discuss challenges of enforcing rights in an international system in which states are not accountable to a higher authority.
Students apply their new knowledge to the problems facing human rights today. Topics may include cultural relativist critiques of human rights as a Western, neo-colonialist institution, challenges from new technologies in state surveillance and autonomous weapons, and existential threats to human populations through climate change and environmental damage. The course includes asynchronous work, which students are expected to complete between class sessions.

Course Description
The ability to skillfully influence and persuade others is the key to success in business, civic engagement, and politics. The primary goal of the course is to help prepare students to organize and present information in compelling and concise ways. While the art and science of persuasion has a long history, recent breakthroughs in the field of Generative A.I. are poised to completely upend traditional approaches to the creation and targeting of persuasive messages. The effective use of A.I. as a technology of influence, however, requires an understanding of both the social psychological foundations of persuasion, and a basic knowledge of how A.I. systems work.
Toward that end, students who successfully complete this course will gain a solid grounding in how Generative A.I. can be deployed to effectively influence people's attitudes, opinions, and behaviors in ways designed to optimize specified outcomes. Students will have the opportunity to apply this knowledge through “hands-on” participation in a Team Project, where working in small groups students will build their own persuasive messaging campaigns, utilizing “off the shelf” Generative A.I. tools-e.g., ChatGPT, Dall-E, Bard. Together, through the combination of readings, classroom instruction, group work, and in-class learning activities, the overall objective of the course is to improve student's ability to apply the principles of A.I.-based persuasion to achieve desired business outcomes, galvanize change, and forge greater civic and political engagement.
