This course addresses the history of the “talking cure” with a systematic look at the links between psychological theory and therapeutic technique. The practice of psychoanalysis and analytic therapy is investigated through a reading of some of Freud’s papers on technique. The historical development of psychotherapy, including later developments in analysis, behavior therapy,

Over the past two centuries, in an apparently perpetual movement towards democratic independence, Latin America has confronted ruptures in tradition and experimented with a variety of revolutionary discourses to project its multiple pasts into the future.

This seminar will look at works by Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel, as well as by Erik Satie, Les Six, Tailleferre, Boulanger, and diverse U.S. composers at the turn of the 20th century. We will start by looking at Debussy’s Preludes as a microcosm of his harmonic style, and then analyze major orchestral works. Ravel’s Tombeau de Couperin, String Quartet, and select songs will

We will start by looking at Debussy’s Preludes as a microcosm of his harmonic style, and then analyze major orchestral works. Ravel’s Tombeau de Couperin, String Quartet, and select songs will also be analyzed

Despite decades of political advocacy for gun control, the health toll from firearm misuse in the United States has only continued to rise. Firearm-related injuries and deaths remain among the most urgent, unsolved health emergencies facing our country because society has not yet implemented comprehensive health-based solutions to treat gun violence. The primary obstacle to

In the wake of the Industrial Revolution, physicists developed thermal physics as a way of improving the efficiency of steam engines. At nearly the same time, the development of statistical physics gave birth to an understanding of how large ensembles of particles interacted. We will study both the macroscopic (“Thermal”) and microscopic (“Statistical”) view of systems and the

The simple concept of Temperature is not so simple. In this class, we will investigate the meaning of temperature and how what we know about thermodynamics and entropy informs our view of the physical world. Such an investigation is fundamentally statistical, so we will build a statistical view of physical systems and use that understanding to broadly study such topics as the

Through individualized meetings, the course will support students in developing and completing written components of the thesis artist’s book. These meetings will be opportunities for discussion and feedback, aiming towards the composition, annunciation, vision, and eloquence of each artist’s written and critically expressive voice.

Students propose, plan, discuss and develop a (research) thesis project. They choose a thinking partner to work alongside and begin the processes. Each graduate student in the program completes a final thesis as the culmination of their work towards the MFA degree. The thesis takes two forms: an artist’s book and a public project, Research as Action.  In each
