PPE COURSE OFFERINGS (Summer 2016)
The following are the set of courses which originate in PPE or are cross-listed by PPE. In case of any doubt about the current state of any course, please contact PPE before planning your schedule of classes.
Note: These are only the classes crosslisted with or run by PPE. Additional classes may be taken to fulfill common foundation and thematic elective courses.
Summer Session 1:
PPE 222-910 Decision and Game Theory (Marini)
The course studies the fundamental principles of decision-making and applies them to a variety of social activities. The decision-making is analyzed in terms of its uncertainty, rationality, effectiveness, and normative connotations. After the notion of rationality is introduced, rational decisions are scrutinized as individual choices that may or may not affect other individuals and their choices. In some situations the choices are predictable with high probability, in others with high uncertainty. The nature of situations influences the mode of rationality applied. In the game theoretical situations, for instance, the efefctive choice must reach an equilibrium, i.e. a mutual solution acception for all rational participants. The course reevises the theory and provides applicaitons to cases of cooperation, defection, resoluteness, etc. as well as complex cases. Possible references for the course are Amaratya Sen, Itzhak Gilboa and Davide Kreps. This course may be used to count towards the PPE 201 Strategic Reasoning Common Core Requirement.
Summer Session 2:
PPE 260-920 Politicial Competition (Marini)
Political competition is an important topic to study and understand because it may have consequences for a country, its international relations and its performance. The aim of the course is to introduce the students to what is political competition, how political competition and market competition differ, to measurement issues and to use data and methodological techniques available to investigate the importance of political competition within and across countries. During the course the theory explained will be accompanied by examples and articles that will help to clarify the concepts, to understand how to use available data to study political competition and its effects on e.g. economic performance of countries.
PPE 475-900 (HIST 455) Risk, Disaster and the Business of Prediction (Wiggins)
Our society—indeed, your everyday life—is fundamentally shaped by risk. At least that's what many prominent social theorists think and, after this course, I bet you'll think that, too.
Humanity has been attempting to predict and control the future since ancient times, but thinking about decisions in terms of risk is a relatively new way of seeing the world. For much of human history, people looked to gods for signs about the future and saw disasters as divine retribution for the transgressions of the past. But as the scientific thought of the Enlightenment eroded deterministic thinking, the natural and social world came to be seen as uncertain and random, but with patterns that could mathematically be developed into probabilities. Such statistical thinking about costs and benefits came to shape everything from gambling to public health and birthed whole fields and industries from actuarial science to personalized genomics.
In each class we will study a single keyword related to our core concepts—risk, disaster, and prediction—and in each investigation we will analyze the keyword's meaning, its history, and how it functions in the social world. This course will offer you a conceptual and historical understanding of the industries of risk and disaster and will give you the tools to critically assess technologies of prediction.
This is a fully online course. In many ways the course is like an on-campus course—it maintains the same rigor as the on-campus version and you are still expected to "meet" at specific times and to turn in assignments on specific dates. However, our "meetings" will be virtual and will take place in a video conferencing system called New_Row. Before each class you are expected to watch short pre-recorded videos that introduce that class's keyword, present a case history, and set up the overarching questions for the live session. Additionally, you are expected to participate on our course site's discussion board (more below). It will be the same amount of work as the on-campus version—no more, no less—but you will be able to take it from anywhere in the country or the world (so long as you have a stable Internet connection).
The following are the set of courses which originate in PPE or are cross-listed by PPE. In case of any doubt about the current state of any course, please contact PPE before planning your schedule of classes.
Note: These are only the classes crosslisted with or run by PPE. Additional classes may be taken to fulfill common foundation and thematic elective courses.
Common Foundation Courses, Crosslisted with PPE
For other Common Foundation Courses offered Spring 2016 visit the Common Foundations Page.
PPE 008 (PHIL 008) The Social Contract (B) Society Sector (Tan)
REC: F 10-11 AM, 11-12 NOON, 12-1 P M, or 1-2 PM
This course examines the history and significance of social contract doctrine for modern social and political thought. In particular, the works of Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, J.J. Rousseau, and John Rawls will be studied. We also study the utilitarian critique of social contract doctrine and the utilitarian views of David Hume, Adam Smith, J.S. Mill, and Karl Marx's criticism of liberal-democratic justice. This course is an introduction to many of the major figures in modern political philosophy.
PPE 072 (PHIL 072, HSOC 101) Biomedical Ethics Society Sector (Gibbons)
REC: F 11-12 NOON or 12 -1 PM
Bioethics is an important and revealing area of study for at least two reasons. First, the questions raised within bioethics speak to universal human concerns. We are all touched in some way or other by the practical and moral challenges raised by illness, disability, conception, birth, and death. But, second, although the issues raised within bioethics are intensely personal and practical, they also reflect philosophical concerns taken up within ethical theory, such as questions about moral status, autonomy, truth-telling and justice.
A central theme running throughout this course is the relationship between ethical theory, on the one hand, and the actual practices and experiences of facing choices about health and mortality, on the other. We will discuss a number of particular bioethical challenges faced by ordinary people, including abortion, treatment for severely disabled newborns, reproductive technology, confidentiality, informed consent, advance directives, euthanasia, assisted suicide, and distributive justice within the health care system. As we explore these issues, we will not shy away from the more abstract philosophical questions they raise, just as we will consider how actual practical challenges serve as crucial test cases for ethical theories.
Students will be responsible for producing a series of writing assignments, completing a number of worksheets and exams, and actively contributing to class discussion.
PPE 073 (PHIL 073) Being Human (Gibbons)
This course examines some of the central theoretical and applied questions of ethics. For example, what is the good life? By what measure or principles do we evaluate the rightness and wrongness of actions? How does ethical reasoning help us understand and address real world problems such as world hunger, social injustice, sex and race discrimination, allocation of scarce resources and the like. The course can be organized around an applied topic or practical issue such as global ethics, just war, biomedical ethics or environmental ethics.
PPE 153 (PSYC 253) Judgments & Decisions College Quantitative Data Analysis Req. (Royzman)
Prerequisite(s): One semester of statistics OR microeconomics
LEC: R 5:30-8:30 PM (SAS) or T 6-9 PM (LPS)
Thinking, judgment, and personal and societal decision making, with emphasis on fallacies and biases.
Core Classes
PPE 202/PSCI 236 The Public Policy Process (Levendusky)
This course integrates economic, ethical and political perspectives. It examines competing theories, models, and analytical frameworks for understanding policymaking. The course will focus on: 1. How public problems are framed and described; 2. What criteria are useful in developing and assessing policy choices; and 3. How policy choices and outcomes are mediated and influenced by individuals, organizations and political institutions.
PPE 203/PSYC 265 Behavioral Economics and Psychology (Bhatia)
Prerequisite(s): ECON 1
This course applies psychological research to economic theory, investigating what happens when agents have human limitations and complications. The effects of limited cognitive capacities, willpower, and self-interest will be considered.
PPE 204/Phil 228 Philosophy of Social Science (Krut-Landau)
Prerequisite(s): Econ 1, Econ 2, Phil 8, PPE 201
REC: F 10-11 AM, 11-12 NOON, 12-1 PM, or 1-2 PM
This course explores some crucial foundational issues of contemporary social science. It focuses on various types of explanation, the construction of social models, and their validation. Specific topics will include: 1. Rational choice models (including game-theoretic ones) and alternative models of bounded rationality; 2. Experimental models in economics and psychology and whether they present a radical departure from traditional economic models; 3. Evolutionary models of the emergence of institutions, and agent-based simulations of such dynamics. In particular, we will explore theoretical and empirical models of trust, reciprocity, cooperation and fairness, asking what motivates individuals to engage in pro-social behavior and how such behavior can emerge and persist. This course will cover some of the material presented in other Core courses, with particular attention to foundational and explanatory issues that are not usually discussed in a typical social science course.
Potential Thematic Concentration Courses, crosslisted with PPE
PPE 225/PHIL 226/PHIL 521 Philosophy of Biology Natural Science & Math Sector (Weisberg)
This course consists of a detailed examination of evolutionary theory and its philosophical foundations. The course begins with a consideration of Darwin's formulation of evolutionary theory and the main influences on Darwin. We will then consider two contemporary presentations of the theory Richard Dawkins' and Richard Lewontin's. The remainder of the course will deal with a number of foundational issues and may include discussions of adaptation, what constitutes a species, whether there is evolutionary progress, and the concept of fitness. We will also discuss the units of selection, the alleged reduction of classical genetics to molecular genetics, and the possibility of grounding ethics in evolutionary theory.
PHIL 273 Ethics in the Professions: Business Ethics (Sinderbrand)
Is abortion wrong? Or euthanasia? Are we justified in eating animals? Why, or why not? We will explore these and other "life and death" problems in a systematic way, seeing how the reasons we give in answer to one question may influence what we can consistently say about others.
PPE 275/PSYC 275 Political Psychology (Tetlock)
This course will explore psychological approaches to understanding political beliefs, attitudes, and actions at the levels of both individual citizens and national leaders. It will also explore the possibility that psychological science itself is not immune to the political debates swirling around it. Specific topics will include: the workings of belief systems (and their power to shape what we "see"), cognitive biases (and their power to cause miscalculations), sacred values and their role in stabilizing belief systems and social interaction, personality and ideology (the linkages between the personal and the political), and clashing conceptions of morality and distributive and corrective justice (striking variations among people in what they consider to be fair). We shall also explore some topics that have sparked controversy in the psychological research literature and that tend to polarize opinion along political lines, including work on intelligence and unconscious bias.
PPE 277 (PHIL 277) Justice, Law and Morality (Freeman)
In this course we will focus on the philosophical background to the exercise of legitimate political power and the bases for individuals' constitutional rights under the U.S. Constitution. The course will concentrate on 1st Amendment freedom of religion, freedom of speech and expression, and freedom association; the 14th Amendment guarantee of liberty and due process, including the right of privacy, abortion, and the right to die; the equal protection clause and its bearing on affirmative action and equal political rights; and the Takings and Contract clauses and their relationship to rights of private property and economic freedom. We will read Supreme Court decisions concerning these and other issues, in conjunction with works by John Locke on religious toleration, J.S. Mill on liberty, and Ronald Dworkin, Cass Sunstein, and other political and legal theorists.
PPE 299 Independent Study Permission needed from Department.
Student arranges with a faculty member to pursue a program of reading and writing on a suitable topic.
PPE 301 Directed Honors Research Permission needed from Department. Open only to senior majors in PPE.
Student arranges with a faculty member to do an honors thesis on a suitable topic.
Capstone Courses
NURS 830: Conducting Research in Global Women's Health (Teitelman) - Course Flyer
The course focuses on critical examination of theoretical and methodological issues pertaining to research on women and girls conducted around the world across disciplines. A focused and intensive exploration of place as it pertains to women and girls in formal and informal structures of health care delivery as those needing and/or seeking health care, and as those providing health care to others. We will examine multiple dimensions and qualities of these endeavors (e.g. activity, power, control, visibility, value, and remuneration) and the intersection of gender and health - locally, globally and across borders. We will focus our examination on the implications of seeking and providing health care for women's and girls' health and well-being. By examining issues in local and global contexts and across geographical boundaries, we will have the opportunity to challenge gendered, class, political, and cultural assumptions related to women's health. Invited guest speakers will highlight examples of research in global women's health representing multiple disciplinary perspectives.
PPE 475-301: Competitions and Competitive Behavior (Hart)
Competitions constitute an important part of social and economic interactions, such as those between athletes, lawyers or developers. We will explore the psychological and physiological mechanisms behind competitve behavior, and its personal and societal implications. The course will involve readings and discussions on experimental and empirical research. We will explore the following topics, among others; How our brains and our society norms affect the intensity of competition; how the social context affects our willingness to compete and exert costly effort; the consequences of competitions for contestants' profit, and for their subsequent behavior - even beyond the competition itself (for example, how rivalry affects subsequent behavior). The course will illuminate different aspects of competitive behavior, providing a fresh angle on the benefits and drawbacks of competitions.
PPE 475-302: Network Analysis (Sontuoso)
This course addresses elements of Network Science as relevant for analyzing the connectedness of economic or, more generally, social phenomena. Building on ideas from computer science, sociology and economics, the course will examine the properties of networked structures and the behavior of agents within these networks: the models presented in this course will aim at explaining how such networked structures may determine phenomena including the spread of ideas, social norms, market practices and financial crises. (The course is designed for an interdisciplinary audience and requires no theoretical prerequisites, but it will often present material drawn from formal disciplines.)
PPE 475-303: Resource Allocation and American Political Institutions (Miller)
This course will focus on the ways in which institutions channel decision-making processes by individuals and groups. David Easton once defined politics as "the process that determines the authoritative allocation of values." Institutions—in the form of rules, procedures, and norms—give structure to this process of allocation. We'll explore the main theories used to explain the emergence and evolution of political institutions, and how they are used to resolve problems of collective action and resource allocation. With this foundation in place, the latter part of the course will examine the purpose and performance of a particular institution: redistricting commissions. We'll consider the context in which these commissions operate and how these commissions compare to alternative redistricting authorities. The final portion of the class will involve a simulation in which groups of students will construct a district map and advocate for its adoption.
PPE 475-304: Fairness and Altruism (Dillenberger)
The course is designed to be an integrative experience, drawing on knowledge from economics and psychology to understand the role of fairness in behavior.
PPE 475-305: Economics of Corruption: An Interdisciplinary Perspective (Dimant)
This is an undergraduate research seminar tackling the topic of corruption from an interdisciplinary perspective. Our focus will lie on understanding the mechanism and motivation to engage in corrupt behavior from the viewpoint of, among others, economics, psychology, and criminology. Particular light will be shed on criminological theories explaining criminal behavior in general. Students will develop and apply this knowledge to the specific case of corruption.
Understanding the underlying mechanism of such illicit behavior will facilitate our understanding of both the antecedents and effects of corruption. Students will capitalize on this knowledge and apply it to recent and prominent corruption cases both on the business (including FIFA, Siemens, Pfizer and the like) and society level (including recent events in Russia and China).
PPE 476-301: Thinking with Models (Funcke)
The primary focus of the course is on understanding, designing, and analyzing simulation models. Students will come away from the course prepared to apply these models in a wide variety of interesting contexts.
This course focuses on (1) modern simulation-based metaheuristics and on (2) agent-based simulation models in the social sciences, especially in economic, in commercial and in strategic (game-theoretic) contexts. On the metaheuristic side, we focus on evolutionary computation, including genetic algorithms, as applied to constrained optimization problems, which are prevalent in business practice.
Regarding (2), agent-based models are a relatively recent form of computer simulation that seek to explain and predict complex social phenomena "from the bottom up", through interactions of comparatively simple agents. The course reviews experimental and theoretical results, and exposes the students to modern development environments for, as well as successful applications of, this form of simulation.
A modest amount of programming will be expected of students. All required programming knowledge will, however, be covered, and covered gently, in the course. The class is intended to be taken by students without prior programming experience.
Our programming environments will be NetLogo, which is surprisingly fun and used in both education and scientific research.
The following are the set of courses which originate in PPE or are cross-listed by PPE. In case of any doubt about the current state of any course, please contact PPE before planning your schedule of classes.

New Class that may be of Interest:
LAW 992-401 Ethics, National Security and the Rule of Law (Finkelstein) Theme
This full year seminar will meet every other week for a full year, allowing students to develop a publishable seminar paper on an interdisciplinary topic relating to the ethical or legal status of an aspect of national security policy. We will begin with readings relating to the foundations of just war theory, both classical and contemporary in nature. We will then address a number of topics relating to current debates in national security policy, such as the legitimacy and legality of recent surveillance practices, the ethics of leaks, defense strategies such as the expanding use of drone warfare, the implications of new weaponry such as autonomous weapons systems and other robotic-based technologies, the current extent and nature of classification practices and debates about transparency and secrecy in government, the threat of novel forms of war such as cyberwar, biological warfare, the nature of the Presidential war-making power, the role of the other branches in government in participating in war-related decisions, and related themes. In addition to preparing a seminar-length paper for publication, students will engage in teams with the work of the Center for Ethics and the Rule of Law (CERL), participating in its two major conferences during the 2015-16 academic year. Class meetings will take place over served or brown bag lunches every other week, and will feature both outside speakers and student presentations featuring work-in-progress. Students will have an opportunity to advance their knowledge of current debates in national security as well as develop their professional writing skills through close consultation with the instructor and other students, as well as by interacting with invited guests on topics of common interest. Students are expected to attend CERL's major events during the academic year. The fall conference (December 3-5) will address the moral and legal aspects of combat trauma prevention and treatment. The spring conference (April 14 – 16) will address the ethics of negotiation, focusing on negotiations in a national security context, such as the nuclear weapons reduction negotiations with Iran, the morality and legality of negotiating with hostage-takers, and the legitimacy of negotiating with unlawful combatant groups in asymmetrical warfare. Students will receive three credits; 1.5 credits in the fall and 1.5 credits in the spring. Writing credit offered for qualifying papers. Undergraduates by permission of instructor only.
Common Foundations:
Philosophy Foundation
PPE 008 (PHIL 008) The Social Contract (Noah)
This course examines the history and significance of social contract doctrine for modern social and political thought. In particular, the works of Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, J.J. Rousseau, and John Rawls will be studied. We also study the utilitarian critique of social contract doctrine and the utilitarian views of David Hume, Adam Smith, J.S. Mill, and Karl Marx's criticism of liberal-democratic justice. This
course is an introduction to many of the major figures in modern political philosophy.
PPE 073 (PHIL 073) Ethics and the Environment (Santana)
In this course, we examine the philosophical underpinnings of environmentalism by considering important cases such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and non-human animal welfare. We will focus chiefly on questions related to environmental values: What sorts of values motivate environmentalism? Who or what is the source of those values? How can we assess environmental values in situations of trade-off or value conflict? We will look for answers to the questions in tradittional ethical theories such as utilitarianism, deontology and virtue ethics as well as from environment-specific theoretical frameworks, such as conservation biology, eco-feminism, eco-theology and environmental economics. Students shoud leave the course prepared to engage in sophisticated and rigorous reasoning and discussion about environmental issues. No prior experience with philosophy is assumed.
Psychology Foundation
PPE 153 (PSYC 253)Judgments and Decisions College Quantitative Data Analysis Req. (Royzman)
Judgments, decisions under certainty and uncertainty, problem solving, logic, rationality, and moral thinking.
Core Classes:
PPE 201 (ECON 13) (formerly PPE 113): Strategic Reasoning Offered in Fall (Dillenberger)
Prerequisite(s): Econ 1
This course is about strategically interdependent decisions. In such situations, the outcome of your actions depends also on the actions of others. When making your choice, you have to think what the others will choose, who in turn are thinking what you will be choosing, and so on. Game Theory offers several concepts and insights for understanding such situations, and for making better strategic choices. This course will introduce and develop some basic ideas from game theory, using illustrations, applications, and cases drawn from business, economics, politics, sports, and even fiction and movies. Some interactive games will be played in class. There will be little formal theory, and the only pre-requisites are some high-school algebra and having taken Econ 1. However, general numeracy (facility interpreting and doing numerical graphs, tables, and arithmetic calculations) is very important. This course will also be accepted by the Economics department as an Econ course, to be counted toward the Minor in Economics (or as an Econ elective).
Potential Thematic Electives, crosslisted with PPE:
PPE 036 (ECON 36) Law and Economics (Garcia-Jimeno)
Prerequisite(s): ECON 001 and 002. Credit cannot be received for both ECON 036 and 234.
The relationship of economic principles to law and the use of economic analysis to study legal problems. Topics will include: property rights and intellectual property; analysis of antitrust and economic analysis of legal decision making.
PPE 062 (RUSS 189) Soviet and Post-Soviet Economy (Vekker)
All readings and lectures in English
The course will cover the development and operation of the Soviet centrally planned economy--one of the grandest social experiments of the 20th century. We will review the mechanisms of plan creation, the push for the collectivization and further development of Soviet agriculture, the role of the Soviet educational system and the performance of labor markets (including forced labor camps--GULags). We will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the Soviet system and the causes of its collapse. Privatization, called by some "piratization," will be one of the central issues in our consideration of the transition from central planning to a market economy in the early 1990s. Even though our main focus will be on the Soviet economy and post-Soviet transition, we will occasionally look back in time to the tsarist era and even further back to find evidence to help explain Soviet/Russian economic development.
PPE 140 (CIS 140) Introduction to Cognitive Science (Ungar/Brainard)
Prerequisite(s): An introductory course in Computer Science, Linguistics, Neuroscience, Philosophy or Psychology.
How do minds work? This course surveys a wide range of answers to this question from disciplines ranging from philosophy to neuroscience. The course devotes special attention to the use of simple computational and mathematical models. Topics include perception, learning, memory, decision making, emotion and consciousness.
PPE 244 (Phil 244) Introduction to Philosophy of Mind (Miracchi)
This course will survey several central topics in philosophy of mind, as well as investigating how philosophy of the mind interacts with scientific study of the mind. Among the questions we'll be asking are: What is it to have a mind? What is the relationship between the mind and the brain? Can there be a science of the mind? What can it tell us? What can philosophy contribute to a science of the mind? What is consciousness? What is it to think, to perceive, to act? How are perception, thought, and action related to one another? .
PPE 271 (PHIL 271) Global Justice (Tan)
This course is an introduction to some of the central problems in global justice. Some of the topics that we will examine include realism, human rights, sovereignty and intervention economic justice, and war and morality. We will look at questions such as: Is it coherent to talk about global justice, or is the global arena essentially a Hobbesian state of nature? In what sense are human rights universal? Is the idea of universal rights compatible with the political sovereignty of states? What is the basis of this duty? What is a just war? What is terrorism, and what are the moral limits in combating terrorism? Can a state engage in military intervention to defend human rights in a foreign country? Readings will be draw from contemporary authors such as Rawls, Walzer, and Sen, as well as historical figures like Kant and Hobbes. This course examines some of the common problems in global justice. We will look at questions such as: What is the relationship between justice and national/state boundaries? Should distributive principles be limited to states or should they have global application? What is a just war? What is the difference between war and terrorism? Do states have the right (or even duty) to intervene in another state to protect basic human rights? What are human rights? Are they universal, or should they be limited by cultural considerations?

301 Directed Honors Research
Open only to senior majors in PPE
Student arranges with a faculty member to do an honors thesis on a suitable topic.
PPE 475-301 Economics of Crime and Corruption: An Interdisciplinary Perspective (Dimant)
This is an undergraduate research seminar tackling the topic of crime and corruption from an interdisciplinary perspective. Our focus will lie on understanding the mechanism and motivation to engage in criminal and corrupt behavior from the viewpoint of, among others, economics, psychology, and criminology. Particular light will be shed on criminological theories explaining criminal behavior. Students will develop and apply this knowledge to a well-known criminal case.
PPE 475-302 Public Choice and Public Policy (Sontuoso)
This course applies Public Choice theory to the analysis of contemporary policy issues: while maintaining an interdisciplinary nature, it aims at providing an introduction to the analytical tools of economics as applied to the study of current issues in political science. Each class will begin with a survey of some positive theoretical framework(s), including the foundations of the rational choice theory, approaches to the aggregation of preferences, strategic behavior, voting methods, accounts of cooperation, collective action, public goods, and institutions. The last part of each class will then critically apply theoretical knowledge to relevant contemporary policy issues, including current debates on governmental decision-making processes in the US and EU, lobbying in democracies, international security, state capacity and implementation, greenhouse gas reduction, etc. Note: part of the program contains a theoretical (formal) component.
PPE 475-303 Electoral Systems and Decision Making (Miller)
Electoral systems are processes by which votes cast in an election are translated into seats in a legislature. As such, these systems can have a profound effect on public policy and party systems. This course examines majoritarian, proportional, and mixed electoral systems in terms of how these institutions translate votes into seats and can incentivize strategic or genuine choices by voters when casting a ballot. Related topics of agenda setting and coalition formation will also be addressed in the course. We'll start with an overview of the mechanics of these systems and then turn to classic political questions of party competition, resource allocation, and interest representation as they relate to how these systems operate in a comparative context.
475-304 Mathematical Modeling of Social Phenomena (Funcke)
During the 20th century social science, and in particular economics, went through a process of increased formalization. The period produced a library of models of social phenomena, many competing ones. In this course we will briefly browse the library, with the intention to explore classical theoretical perspectives of what is a better model and ponder how increased normalization affects the social sciences. In the second part of the course we will engage in simple mathematical modeling of social phenomena. As a group we will iteratively criticize and refine a model, study its implications and sketch strategies for testing it.
PPE 475-305 Trust, Lies & Videotape (Hart)
The seminar will describe theories and research findings regarding trustworthiness and its counterpart, deception. We will discuss signals that may convey cooperative and deceptive intentions, and people's ability to detect them in different situations and paradigms. Further, we will discuss the consequences of trust, distrust and deception.
Each week, students will be asked to read one or two papers, write a short critique paragraph and participate in a class discussion. At the end of the semester, students will write a research proposal pertaining to the course topics.
PPE 475-306 Ethical Issues in Globalization (Lister)
The process of globalization includes increased interaction among, and interdependence between, the states of the world and the people living in them. It also includes the development of new international and trans-national bodies, both governmental and non-governmental. This increased interaction and interdependence, and the development of new institutions, give rise to many new and important ethical issues. These will be among the most important issues for the 21st century. In this class we will consider such questions as fairness in the international economy (including trade and labor standards); international labor migration and "brain drain"; duties to promote development in less-developed countries; whether and when the debt burdens of less-developed or burdened countries should be forgiven; and how we might address shared burdens relating to the environment. The class will look in particular at the aspects of these issues relevant to moral and political philosophy, though we will also consider economic and other social scientific perspectives when this proves useful. The seminar will be based on reading and discussion [not lecture!] of a number of recent important texts on these issues. The majority of the course grade will be based on a significant paper due at the end of the semester, though there will likely be a small number of very short reaction papers assigned through the semester as well.
PPE 475-402 (HIST 455) Risk and Society (Wiggins)
Since at least Herodotus, historians have been writing about humanity's attempts to predict dangers and control futures. But while a concern for the future and strategies to mitigate accidents have existed for much of recorded time, the concept of risk is a relatively young construction, emerging only in early modernity. In this course, we investigate the concept of the risk in order to understand how it became a central organizing force in the modern period—perhaps even the defining characteristic of modernity—and, importantly, how it came to be seen as manageable. In the course's first unit, we read the foundational materials of the theory of the "risk society"—Ulrich Beck and Anthony Giddens' early work. Then, in unit 2, move to selections from historians of knowledge who trace the epistemic shifts that developed modern concepts of risk and eventually opened the possibility for its management through the use of statistical probabilities. While the most critical developments in the conception of risk took place in Europe across the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, unit 3 moves across the Atlantic to investigate the ways in which risk and, especially the desire to mitigate it, shaped the United States. In this unit (our largest of the course), we will see how risk assessment and management grew into the largest business in the world. Here, we will look at statistics, actuarial science, insurance, speculation, and financial capital. Along the way, we will see many instances in which categories of identity—race, class, gender, sexuality, ability—are tied deeply into the business of discriminating risk. Finally, the concluding unit reassesses the concept of the risk society through the recent past and possible futures as it considers catastrophic threats that remain pressing—nuclear war, chemical waste, genetic engineering, global climate change, and systemic financial collapse.

Do You Have a Baby Name Picked Out or Will You Wait Until Baby Is Born?Devan McGuinness
For me, coming up with a name that my kid would have forever was not a hard decision. Each of my kids have a name that has some meaning to us — both their first name and their middle names. Once my husband and I agreed on a name it seemed to stick and that was that.
I found out the gender of my older two kids early and once we knew boy or girl, we gave them their name and shared it with everyone. For our youngest, since my husband didn't know the gender before her birth we had a boy name and a girl name picked out — just one for each gender.
If we are lucky to get pregnant again (keep your fingers crossed for us) we will both not be finding out the gender (there's a story on why I knew last time but husband didn't, I'll share with you later), but I still think that we will only have one boy name and one girl name. We're still debating the choices right now though I am not yet pregnant, but I know once we hit that name we both agree on, we will be set maybe even before being pregnant.
There are some people who have a different method for giving their child the name that will be with them forever though. Some couples like to choose a small list of 3 or 4 names and wait until their child is born to choose. From what I understand this is to get to know the babe better to choose a name that 'fits their personality', but I want to know what you all did (or will do)!
Did you decide your baby's name before they were born or will you wait?

Urban Fashion and Clothing Mall Adds Brands
Urban Fashion has changed the way we look at the culture of clothing.
Brands like 5ive Jungle are targeted more at the youth while more broad brands like Sean John hope to gain a larger following with sophisticated clothing and exotic perfumes for those hot summer dates.
Never has it been more evident than in 2012 that urban fashion has compounded with regular street fashion diverging into a great outlet for expression through style of youth and older adults alike.
Reebok, Apple Bottoms, New Era, XoXo, Mecca, Dereon, Sean John and Southpole have all been added to our extensive list of brands along with biographical information and well organized product listings for easy access to the products you're seeking.
In the struggle to find solid brands we have recently also added a list of popular brands that you can skim through to get a better poll on what other clothes seekers like yourself are looking for.

Always been partial to Murder of Bros myself…
How about something more suggestive of ignorance than murderous intent? "Murder" is unfairly applied to crows and I would not apply it to a group of motorists either, as it wouldn't put me in the best state of mind on the road. I'd like to suggest "pod," which I've been using myself for years.
How about "A clueless of Liberals"?
Let's PLEASE keep politics out of this…
@Robert: re: "A murder of crows"…
My Wife and a friend was taking a lunch time walk in a Birmingham park when they heard a terrifying noise.
Investigating, they found a crow killing a rabbit. Slowly.
'Nature is red in tooth and claw is an old saying they found to be very true that day.

Harrison And Relays Combine For Track And Field Point Total
May 3, 2014
ANNAPOLIS, Md. - Kiera Harrison recorded the best individual finish of the weekend, guiding the Loyola University Maryland women's track and field team to a ninth-place finish at the Patriot League Outdoor Championships hosted by the United States Naval Academy.
"I'm really proud of the women," head coach Amy Horst said. "The team went out and competed hard. The Patriot League is really strong and provides depth among each program's respective teams. The women went out and gave it everything they had. Now that we have the first league season under our belt, I can already see improvements and I'm excited to move forward."
Fellow Patriot League newcomer Boston University took first, combining for 203.5 points over the two-day meet. Lehigh University took second with 140.5 points, while the reigning outdoor champions from Bucknell University finished third with 129 points. Host Navy finished the weekend in fourth with 109 points. The United States Military Academy rounded out the top-five with 91 points. College of the Holy Cross (83.5) and Lafayette (77.5) took sixth and seventh, respectively, while Colgate University (10) finished ahead of American (7) and Loyola (7), which tied for ninth.
Harrison finished fourth in the 5,000m and posted a time of 17:29.62, earning five points toward the team total.
After qualifying for the ECAC Championships last week at the Penn Relays, Harrison looks to improve her 10k time in the next two weeks.
Classmate Marissa Buccellato led the 4x100m and 4x400m relays to two eighth-place finishes, contributing the final team points to the Greyhound total.
"When I took the position at Loyola today's seniors were newbies. Kiera, Marissa, Jackie and Courtney have a lot of passion for the sport and the team. They have made our team stronger by sharing that love and enthusiasm. I'm proud to have coached them over the past four years," Horst said.
Buccellato, along with Crystal Godette, Isabella Ugarte and Eileen Pastyrnak finished the 4x100 in less than 50 seconds, recording a final time of 49.92.
Later, Buccellato, Charlotte Criqui, Lisa Potter and Jessa Laspesa added a point to the team total, taking eighth in the 4x400 with a time of 4:00.63.
Senior Jacqueline Porter ran in the final individual race of her collegiate career, taking 16th in the 400m hurdles. She crossed the finish line in 1:09.13, only seconds behind teammate Eilis McGovern (14th, 1:07.74).
Courtney Willeford, Loyola's fourth and final senior, finished her collegiate career on a high note, setting a PR in the shot put with a mark of 10.91m.

My name is Stefanie Devlin, the heart & oh-so busy hands behind TheTinyToyBox. I reside in Sycamore, Illinois with my husband and three beautiful little boys. I enjoy all things artsy, especially the thread arts!
As you can probably tell from my shop & finished item photos, my biggest crafty passion is crocheting. I enjoy all aspects of the skill from designing and pattern writing right down to the feel of the thread through my fingers.
This pattern is an easy and cute design that is perfect for the beginner miniature maker. If you can do a single crochet, slip stitch, increase, and decrease you can make your very own miniature thread artist bear! This design is different from all my others in that the head is slightly larger and rounder than my other bear patterns, the body and feet are smaller and the arms have a bend in the wrist.
The bear pictured in this listing is just an example of what you can make from this pattern. You can do countless variations using this one set of instructions and different colors or types of threads to create many different looking bears.
This pattern includes directions for making and assembling your own 2 1/2 inch bear, 10 different detailed tips that I have learned through many hours of trial and error during my years as a bear maker, and a list of necessary bear making supplies.
** When purchasing this pattern you are agreeing to abide by the terms of the copyright. If you choose to make and sell a bear from this pattern, I respectfully request that you add to either your hang tag or auction listing that your bear was created from a pattern designed by Stefanie Devlin of TheTinyToyBox. I also request that you do not copy, share, resell, or forward this pattern to anyone. This includes all forms of electronic 'sharing'. All rights to this pattern are owned by Stefanie Devlin of TheTinyToyBox. Thank You in advance for your cooperation!

13 August 2013
Kingston Council has welcomed the decision of the Hon. Anthony Albanese, Deputy Prime Minister and Commonwealth Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, to refuse a controversial proposal for more retail at Moorabbin Airport.
Council has been advocating on behalf of the community for an independent expert panel to consider the opinions of all stakeholders and assess whether a significant retail development at the airport should go ahead.
Traders and small business owners were concerned that local shopping precincts, particularly the already struggling Dingley Village, might be undermined by the proposal to develop large retail outlets on 4.8 hectares of airport land at the corner of Centre Dandenong Road and Boundary Road. The proposal had a floor area of 14,500m2 (about the size of more than 30 netball courts).
Council's independent economic advice supported the traders' concerns, showing that Dingley Village could lose up to half of its available customer catchment if the development went ahead.
Kingston Mayor Cr Ron Brownlees OAM welcomed the Minister's decision and said it was a win for the business community.
"This news will provide confidence to traders about renewed investment in Dingley Village and we hope it will encourage the long-awaited redevelopment of the shopping area," Cr Brownlees said.
"In refusing this retail proposal, the Minister noted issues similar to those raised by Council in its submission, namely the lack of an independent assessment process to ensure all views were heard. The Minister also pointed out that the proposal did not show how it was consistent with national, state and local planning requirements," said Cr Brownlees.
The Minister was not satisfied that planning issues were adequately addressed including the "potential impact of the proposed development on other developments and broader plans for the region", nor was he satisfied that the information provided demonstrated that due regard was given to feedback from the community made during the consultation period.
Cr Brownlees said while the decision could be appealed under the Airports Act 1996, Council would welcome the opportunity to work constructively with the applicant to explore a more appropriate development proposal which would support local planning policy.
"Council would also be pleased to participate in a panel process," said Cr Brownlees. "We encourage investment in Kingston and want to ensure that any development is appropriate for the area. Council has a good working relationship with Moorabbin Airport and we want to continue working constructively with them on any future development."
Cr Brownlees said the Minister also acknowledged the primary aviation use of the airport "and Council supports the continuation of its role as an operational airport".
Council has proactively changed its planning scheme to support retail investment across Kingston in strategic locations that provide maximum community benefit, and the current proposal conflicted with this planning.
A fundamental planning principle is that the kind of retail development outlined in the proposal is surrounded by a residential area to support it. This proposal is surrounded solely by industrial and green wedge areas with no clear residential catchment.
"Council has a proud history of facilitating retail development in our City. Retail is the second largest employment industry in Kingston and the percentage of local retail jobs is above the metropolitan Melbourne average," Cr Brownlees said.
Cr Brownlees said while we cannot control all the issues that affect Kingston, Council takes an active role in supporting and representing the concerns of our community.
For more information about the retail proposal and Council's advocacy work, please visit www.kingston.vic.gov.au/advocacy.
Media contact: Kirsten Leiminger, City of Kingston, on (03) 9581 4749, 0419 338 904 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Background information
Council supporting big and small business in Kingston
Council has a proud history of supporting our business community and facilitating growth for businesses both big and small.
Kingston Council has completed a significant number of Activity Centre Structure Plans and has undertaken more retail planning scheme amendments (including selling Council land to facilitate supermarket developments) than any other metropolitan municipality.
Council has provided a significant number of opportunities for new supermarkets and over the past two decades has helped facilitate four homemaker centres, the Westfield expansion at Southland, eight large format hardware stores, five Aldis, two Coles and five Woolworths into or on the edge of Kingston.
During the past two decades, Kingston Council has facilitated in excess of 300,000m2 (46 full sized soccer pitches) of retail related activity which is unprecedented for middle Melbourne.
Council is also currently holding a series of information sessions about how the new Commercial 2 Zone may potentially affect small businesses in Kingston. Details: www.kingston.vic.gov.au/shopsinshoppingprecincts

(4) For more information on the new planning zones, please visit www.dpcd.vic.gov.au/planning/theplanningsystem/improving-the-system/new-zones-for-victoria
(5) This is according to the State Government's criteria for setting up shopping centres in Growth Areas of Melbourne. A fundamental planning principal is that retail development like this proposal should be surrounded by a residential area to support it. This proposal is surrounded largely by industrial and Green Wedge areas with no clear residential catchment.
(6) This is according to Council's independent economic advice
Kingston City Council has urged the Hon. Anthony Albanese, Commonwealth Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, to appoint an independent expert assessment panel amidst fears that concerns of local traders and residents will be overlooked in the assessment of the controversial proposal for more retail at Moorabbin Airport.

Lieutenant Mike Stauffer, Joe Arpaio Opponent, Says MCSO Officers Investigated for Ties to Cartels Should be Put on Leave
As Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio continues to take it on the chin for various acts of mismanagement and corruption within his department -- which now includes Mexican drug cartels infiltrating the MCSO -- the man who wants his job has some suggestions for the aging sheriff.
Click here for the details of how a one-time member of Arpaio's anti-human-smuggling task force is himself an alleged human smuggler.
For starters, Scottsdale Lieutenant Mike Stauffer -- who has already declared his candidacy to unseat Arpaio -- wouldn't allow the several MCSO officers Arpaio is currently investigating for their suspected ties to Mexican drug cartels to remain on duty.
"In this latest incident, Sheriff Arpaio admitted that he has known about the human and illicit drug smuggling of these employees for at least one year, but failed to do anything about it until recently," Stauffer says. "In addition, the sheriff casually admitted that there are a number of other employees under suspicion for these same offenses that are still on the job. The highest standards of American law enforcement ethics require employees under this kind of suspicion to be placed on leave immediately."

Stauffer says that the arrest of two detention officers and one Immigration and Customs Enforcement-trained deputy is just the latest mishap in a career of mismanagement and corruption.
"It should be clear by now, Sheriff Arpaio's negligence and extreme mismanagement of the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office has yielded yet another scandal," Stauffer says. "While the sheriff has repeatedly told us that he is in charge and he alone is keeping crime at bay, his corrupt leadership has emboldened and encouraged criminal activity at all levels of MCSO."
In announcing the officers' ties to the cartels, Arpaio patted himself on the back for not trying to sweep the incident under the rug.
"We came up with the information, and we clean up our own house," America's self-proclaimed "toughest" sheriff grumbled at a press conference yesterday afternoon.
"This sheriff, when something comes to his attention, he doesn't sit back, he takes action," he continued.
Like us, Stauffer disagrees with the sheriff's assessment of his own housekeeping.
"It is clear that Sheriff Arpaio has no intention to clean up the corrupt environment that he has fostered," he says. "We should no longer allow Sheriff Arpaio to conduct his cover-ups and blame games and hold him accountable."

"As a practical matter, the ruling mostly helped Democrats."
Supreme Court Rejects Challenge to 'One Person One Vote' by Adam Liptak [The New York Times] The Supreme Court on Monday unanimously ruled that states may count all residents, whether or not they are eligible to vote, in drawing election districts. The decision was a major statement on the meaning of a fundamental principle of the American political system, that of "one person one vote." Until this decision, the court had never resolved whether voting districts should contain the same number of people, or the same number of eligible voters. Counting all people amplifies the voting power of places that have large numbers of residents who cannot vote legally — including immigrants who are here legally but are not citizens, illegal immigrants, children and prisoners. Those places tend to be urban and to vote Democratic. [more inside]

Nonpartisan Redistricting
Supreme Court rules against gerrymandering - "Ginsburg's opinion is now the law, and I suspect that, in a few decades, this case will be considered one of the most important of the term. Thus far, only California has copied Arizona and created an independent redistricting commission. But with the court's blessing, more states are likely to follow suit. These commissions have been hugely successful thus far, a real boost for representative democracy and a cure for the notoriously stubborn problem of gerrymandering. Had Justice Anthony Kennedy swung away from Ginsburg and aligned with his fellow conservatives, America would be facing down a distressingly undemocratic future."

Guilt by Association
Debo Adegbile was selected by President Obama to be assistant attorney general for the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division. The Senate, aided and abetted by seven Democratic senators, killed his nomination. Why? Because he's fought for civil rights.
"You can't steal an election one person at a time."
The possibility of voter fraud in the US has spawned a number of state laws requiring particular kinds of identification at the polls, as well as grassroots organizations that search public records to challenge certain voters' registrations . Much of the modern debate about potential voter fraud has been driven by Hans von Spakovsky, a Heritage Foundation senior legal fellow, former member of the Federal Elections Commission, and former counsel to the assistant attorney general for civil rights, where he worked on voting issues. Writing for the New Yorker, Jane Mayer describes von Spakovsky's influence on conservative groups like True the Vote, various state attempts to disqualify registered voters, and the lack of evidence for many claims made in support of voter ID laws.
The beginning of tyranny.
Last year, The Brennan Center for Justice at NYU's Law School released a report (pdf) detailing new, more restrictive state laws that affect voting rights and are likely to impact the outcome of the 2012 elections. The restrictions "fall most heavily on young, minority, and low-income voters, as well as on voters with disabilities." On August 3rd, 2012, they updated their analysis with a pdf of passed and pending State government legislation. Their conclusion: after a century in which the United States "expanded the franchise and knocked down myriad barriers to full electoral participation... that momentum [has] abruptly shifted."

The GOP War on Voting
Pencils down.
It's Election Day in America, and as is so often the case in this fickle land, the results of the 2010 midterm elections are up in the air. Although President Obama's party is expected to suffer significant losses, record numbers of districts remain competitive, and even minute errors in polling could mean the difference between a historic Republican landslide and an unexpectedly robust Democratic defense. At stake are control of not just the Senate and House, but myriad state and local offices, many of which will play key roles in the dynamics of the 2012 presidential race -- and, more subtly but no less crucially, the once-in-a-decade congressional redistricting process. Much uncertainty surrounds the behavior of the electorate -- how many will turn out, and how informed will they be? To help move those statistics in the right direction, look inside for voter guides, national and state fact checkers, and an assortment of other resources to keep tabs on as the results roll in.

Who can count the ills visited upon modern society by women's suffrage? Dr. John Lott would include government spending, taxation and social programs. Lawrence Auster thinks that it's worth considering an end to the experiment of women's suffrage. (And is mocked and responds). Perhaps he'll find an ally in former senator Kay O'Connor.

Oh, Cruel Fate To Be Thusly Boned Or How To Steal An Election
A manual for electoral apocalypse in America. Quite a bit's been written both on MeFi and other places about how bad Diebold machines are. Rolling Stone wrote an article about election fraud in 2004 that was discussed here on MeFi. Tonight, Ars posted a very thorough, very clear article about how we are completely screwed if we do not enact expensive, fundamental changes in how we handle elections in America. It's too late to do anything about the elections in a couple weeks, but perhaps steps can be taken to fix things before 2008...
Will the Next Election be Hacked?
[O]ne muggy day in mid-August [2002], [Diebold consultant Chris] Hood was surprised to see the president of Diebold's election unit, Bob Urosevich, arrive in Georgia from his headquarters in Texas. With the primaries looming, Urosevich was personally distributing a "patch," a little piece of software designed to correct glitches in the computer program. "We were told that it was intended to fix the clock in the system, which it didn't do," Hood says. "The curious thing is the very swift, covert way this was done. . . . It was an unauthorized patch, and they were trying to keep it secret from the state," Hood told me. "We were told not to talk to county personnel about it. I received instructions directly from Urosevich. It was very unusual that a president of the company would give an order like that and be involved at that level."

Iraq success story! 87% of Iraqis look forward to voting!
Iraq success story! 87% of Iraqis look forward to voting!... but not for Allawi! How about Abdel Aziz Hakim instead? He's the leader of the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq, and former leader of his own Iranian-trained and armed paramilitary army. Hakim was once part of Da'wa, an organization that bombed the US embassy in Kuwait in '83 and gave birth to Hezbollah. In the '90s, Da'wa and SCIRI seperated ideologically, with claims that SCIRI were Iranian lackeys. SCIRI now claims to have gone political, and although they enforce Sharia standards in Basra, they now claim to be pro-democracy and opposed to an Islamic state. Many secular Iraqis don't trust Hakim's motives or his close ties to Iran, however.
