In this seminar, students will explore the intersection of environmental sustainability and social justice through the lens of speculative science fiction. Drawing on contemporary literature and critical international studies perspectives, students will engage with narratives that envision diverse futures shaped by the ongoing climate crisis. By analyzing texts such as Kim Stanley Robinson's "Ministry of the Future" and NK Jemisin's "Broken Earth" trilogy, students will critically examine how authors portray the complexities of environmental challenges and the possibilities for equitable solutions on a global scale.

Orthodox Christianity has emerged as a subject of worldwide interest largely within the current context of Russia鈥檚 war in Ukraine, yet Orthodoxy's 2000-year history and global scope extend far beyond the present historical conjuncture. This seminar uses social science and historical approaches, insights from policy experts and faith leaders, to provide a broad introduction to Orthodox Christianity in global context. The seminar explores internal and external factors -- geopolitical, institutional, and religious -- that help to explain scholarly neglect and policymaking unfamiliarity with an ancient faith tradition and that elucidate Orthodoxy鈥檚 responses to issues of pluralism, human rights, war, and peace.

Development, since World War II, reigns as the mandate for addressing inequality in the Global South. Development鈥檚 promise has been to equalize the uneven relations between the former colonized and colonizers. And yet, many post-colonial states face continued poverty, exploitation, and environmental degradation, what some call neo-colonial relations. Students will engage with interdisciplinary scholarship that spans many engagements with development, including Third Worldist critiques, postcolonial theory, environmental issues, the politics of expertise, social justice, biopolitics, and case studies of developmental efforts in the present. Our goal, as a class, will be to reimagine development for the challenges facing not only the Global South, but for the North as well.

What is geopolitics? This seminar explores geopolitics as a way of making sense of territorial (classicalgeopolitics) and identity (critical geopolitics) geographies and their implications for politics, in order tounderstand international relations as a geopolitical contest for hegemony waged by state and non-stateactors. The seminar analyzes the significance of religion for defining geographies, for competitivestruggles, and for affecting security. Introducing country, regional, and transregional case studiesprimarily drawn from Eurasia, the seminar uses cross-disciplinary literatures and presentations by guestexperts with diverse professional expertise at the intersections of religion and security in historical andcurrent geopolitics.

John Maynard Keynes was the most influential economist of the twentieth century鈥攁nd the most misunderstood, with his vast, nuanced writings on innumerable topics commonly reduced to the mechanistic (and often controversial) practice of 鈥減ostwar Keynesianism.鈥� But Keynes was so much more than that, and he was immersed 鈥� as a scholar, government official, and public intellectual 鈥� in the great issues of his time. These included the fragility of the international economic order, the contentious politics of central banking, the causes of catastrophic global financial crises, the challenge of secular stagnation, the implications of economic inequality, and role of international institutions in the global economy鈥攅ach of which has remarkable parallels to the great issues of today. In this seminar, we will read Keynes鈥� own writings and consider how they engaged the daunting problems of his time, and how they can be applied to the pressing political-economic challenges of ours.
