P11.0023 - POLITICS MINORITY RIGHTS Show Description
This course examines the policy debates surrounding minority rights in the US since World War II, with special emphasis on the politics of race, class, gender, sexuality, citizenship, and disability. We will trace the accomplishments and limitations of public policy in including minorities in the full set of social, political and economic spheres.

In addition to analyzing contemporary issues related to minority inclusion like school (re)segregation, universal healthcare, and job losses for low-skilled American workers, we will also debate such issues as affirmative action, Title IX, the proposed Federal Marriage Amendment, and the Americans with Disabilities Act (1990).

P11.0025 - INT'L FINANCE SYSTEM Show Description
An experienced financial regulator provides a system-wide view of this vital but poorly-understood topic, all the more important given the current Wall Street financial crisis and Washington bailout debate. Subjects investigated will range from individual firm compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley to public officials’ struggle to design effective mechanisms to regulate hedge funds and other complex financial institutions.

Appropriate both for students with relatively little background in high finance and Stern undergraduate majors.

P11.0040 - GENOCIDE MODERN ERA Show Description
In the aftermath of the Holocaust, the world community vowed ‘never again’ to allow such atrocities. Yet genocide remains a tragic part of the human experience. Its persistence raises urgent questions: Is genocide preventable? Is it an inescapable aspect of human nature, or the weapon of the grossly-deviant vicious? Can policymakers detect early signs of genocide and prevent it from occurring? Or is punishment after the act of genocide the only viable instrument of international policy?

This course will explore these and other questions by examining genocide in an historic and legal context. Proposed policy solutions will be evaluated through a focus on such case studies as Armenia, Ukraine, Cambodia, and the ongoing genocide in Darfur.
