 This course offers students an in-depth survey of historical and contemporary struggles for LGBT rights, from the right to association and repeal of anti-sodomy statutes, to privacy rights, equal protection, and military service, from employment discrimination, same sex marriage, and adoption rights, to  transgender rights around restroom access and incarceration. While the course focuses on LGBT rights in the U.S., we also consider broader contexts in American history, globalization and international human rights law. Topics in the first part of the course include 1) a brief introduction to homophobia and anti-gay legislation; 2) Pioneering early homosexual emancipation movements in Germany before the rise of National Socialism and 3) Pre-Stonewall “homophile movements” in the United States in the context of 1950s anti-communist hysteria. In the second part of the course, topics include: 1) The Stonewall Riots (1969) and development of a national gay rights movement in tandem with the Civil and Women's Rights movements of the 1960s; 2) Conservative anti-gay backlash and “moral panic” surrounding the anti-gay campaigns of the 1970s; and 3) The AIDS crisis and radical queer activism during the “culture wars” of the 1980s. In the third part of the course, we explore how the political struggle for gay rights has played out in elections, in the U.S. congress, and in the courts, including 1) Decriminalizing homosexuality from Bowers v. Hardwick (1986) to Lawrence v. Texas (2003);  2) Allowing gays to serve openly in the military, from “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” (1994) to the Murphy Amendment (2010); 3) Legalizing same-sex marriage, from DOMA (1996) to Obergefell v. Hodges (2015); and 4) Transgender access to public restrooms, from Cruzan v. Special School District (2002) to North Carolina’s  HB2 (2016). Students will become familiar with major U.S. advocates for LGBT rights, such as the National Gay & Lesbian Task Force, the Human Rights Campaign Fund, and the Lambda Legal Defense Fund, as well as with important global developments concerning LGBT rights in the arena of International human rights law, such as the Yogyakarta Principles (2007).

Human Rights Core Course

 At least since Aristotle, philosophers have sought to delineate the contours of the human, to define what it means to be a specifically human being. To define what it means to be human is at once to exclude those modes of being deemed to be not human—a process of exclusion that produces various categories of otherness as non-human, or even inhuman: thing, animal, savage, slave, other, foreigner, stranger, cyborg, alien. In this course, students engage with a range of theoretical discussions that attempt to situate the human being vis-à-vis its varying “others.” Readings—drawn from a range of periods and discourses—may include: classical (Aristotelian) conceptions of the human, 17th- & 18th-century theories of “human nature” (e.g., Hobbes, Larochefoucauld, Mandeville, La Mettrie, Condillac, Rousseau, Herder, Kant, Schiller), 19^th Century Materialist & Social Darwinist thought (e.g., Marx, Nietzsche, Darwin, Spencer) and more contemporary discussions in the fields of cognitive science, socio-biology, philosophical biology, phenomenology, ontology, theology, discourse analysis, Post-Structuralism, Post-Humanism and OOO (e.g., Bergson, Bataille, Teilhard, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, Scheler, Uexküll, Lorenz, Wilson, Dawkins, Gould, Plessner, Gehlen, Scheler, Elias, Cassirer, Fromm, Lyotard, Deleuze, Ansell-Pearson, Derrida, Agamben, Lingis, Beniger, Nagel, Janicaud, Morton, Bennet, Harman, Ingold.

Human Rights Core Course 

 The observation and description of reality is a fundamental and daunting problem for human rights. Pain, violence, victimization, and injustice have long been a part of human reality.  Can we change, or are we doomed to repeat ourselves until the end of time? The answer is not obvious. But one thing is certain: as long as we stay in the cave, in obscurity, and only look at shadows, we are not going to resolve this conundrum. Going into the world, trying to look at it and describe it, is the only way for us to escape that cavern of ideology, of disempowering shadows and ghosts. This process of trying to understand what we see, how we see it and how we describe it, brings us closer to a resolution -- by action -- of this fundamental problem. In order to reach the point of rawness where we reformulate for ourselves what observation and description are, we must challenge the predicament and predictability of known methods and forms.  We need to position ourselves in a no-man’s land, beyond traditional specializations in knowledge and practice. In this seminar, we set out to re-appropriate reality, to get at perception before it has been shaped as expression, to see images in the heart and eye before they harden as categories, styles, definitions -- and if it is possible to do so, to reconcile the layers of meanings and to pull from all these contradictions some organized process, where the documentary act begins. We will focus on visual awareness, not as an illustration of ideas, but as a seed for ideas in themselves. We will try, through examples and assignments, to investigate how non-professionals can use not only current technologies but also new visual attitudes, so that reports and communications can escape their usual dreariness, so that human rights reporting can be formalized in such a way as to escape its own ghetto and be made attractive, visually and emotionally engaging to the largest possible audience.

Migration is one of the most important and contested features of today’s interconnected world. In one way or another, it has transformed most if not all contemporary nation-states into “pluralist,” “post-migrant,” and/or “super-diverse” polities. And it affects everyone—regardless of their own migratory status. This course examines the history of migration from local, national, and global perspectives, with particular emphasis on the uneven economic and geopolitical developments that have produced specific forms of mobility into and through the U.S. The course also traces the emergence of new modes of border regulation and migration governance as well as novel forms of migrant cultural production and representation. Above all, it aims to provide students with the tools to engage critically with many of the concepts and buzzwords—among them “asylum,” “border,” “belonging,” “citizenship,” and “illegality”—that define contemporary public debates. A Lexicon of Migration is a Bard/HESP (Higher Education Support Program) network course that will collaborate with similar courses at Bard College Berlin, Al-Quds Bard, and the American University of Central Asia.

Human Rights Core Course

This course aims to familiarize students with the main actors, debates, and explanations behind the rise of human rights in global politics.  The course is divided into three core sections. The first explores the philosophical foundations of the notion of human rights and its contested universality, and the historical developments that propelled human rights to the forefront of international politics, especially the atrocities of World War II committed by Germany's Nazi regime.  The second part of the course focuses on the evolution of the so-called “international human rights regime,” or the main actors and institutions in the human rights arena responsible for promoting and policing human rights--from the basic legal framework of human rights (the 1948 United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights), to major multilateral human rights institutions, such as the UN Human Rights Council, the International Criminal Court, and the European Court of Human Rights, to prominent non-state actors such as Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Freedom House, and the International Center for Transitional Justice. The third part examines the evolution of human rights, especially the shifts from “first generation” human rights (political freedoms) to “second generation” human rights (social and economic rights, such as housing, employment, and education), to “third generation human rights” and beyond (cultural self-determination, economic sustainability, and sexual freedoms, among others); and the means by which these shifts have come about and have spread around the globe, such as international socialization, globalization, and policy diffusion.

HIST

Human Rights Core Course 

 Cross-listed: Global &Int’l Studies; Human Rights; Science, Technology & Society   In the last ten years, the use of human rights law and discourse by nation states and international organizations has come under sustained attack theoretically by the political left and practically by the political right. At the same time, some of the basic assumptions that enabled earlier national protections of rights as outlined in the American and French revolutions have been undermined by changes in technological infrastructure, notably in the blurring of relations between the domains of public and private, commerce and government, military and civilian spheres. The rights of privacy in the American Constitution’s fourth amendment, for instance, were stipulated on a concept that the private sphere could be protected by the domain of the household, the public sphere was either a literal space or a public commitment of letters, and that anonymity was more or less the default in the absence of individual intention – none of which now pertain. In this course, we’ll try to illuminate the potentials and problems of the contemporary period by developing a history of the relation of rights and liberties to the underlying infrastructures which initially sustained them in fields such as communication-information, housing, agriculture, energy, public health, and transportation, as well as in administrative bureaucracies, police, and military organizations. Working back from the role of NGOs, media, institutions and states in implementing the Universal Declaration of Human Rights since 1948, we will address the structure of rights in the nation state, liberties in the early modern world, and various alternate concepts of human dignity and protection in different social constellations. Although the nation state and international organizations still appear to be the prinicipal actors in establishing rights, this course will suggest that increasingly established infrastructures – notably information and surveillance infrastructure – may be equally important. Authors read will include: Hannah Appel, Geoffrey Bowker, Jessica Barnes, Jürgen Habermas, Lawrence Lessig, Sam Moyn, and Jessica Whyte.

This class emerges from my preoccupation with the recent increase in media and political attention to extra- judicial killings by police officers in the United States. Predominant questions will include: What can we know about police violence, and what are the barriers to data transparency and distribution? What are the means--political, legal, economic, cultural-- through which Western societies authorize the police to use deadly force?  Can we measure the impact of police violence on a range of exogenous factors like public health indices, adjacent property values, educational opportunities and the distribution of social services? In pursuit of answers, we will engage political theory, history, sociology, economics, and cultural studies to produce an interdisciplinary study of police violence. I use the word “produce” with great intention.  Students will be tasked with producing new knowledge about police violence.  As a collective, we will use demographic analytical tools, alongside datasets from the Police Data Initiative, to spatially apprehend police violence incidents in a given city.  Students will then bring their own research questions to our collectively generated maps.  In that sense, we will also think critically about how to ask a research question, and how to pursue a variety of research projects.

 Epidemiologists study how diseases and other health-related events spread through populations.  They track down the sources of outbreaks, they explore trends in the incidence of cancer, heart disease and mental illness, and they try to understand the social forces that influence sexual behavior, weight gain and other complex human phenomena.  Because the spread of diseases is frequently influenced by economic conditions and/or government policies, epidemiology can also serve as a powerful forensic tool in the hands of human rights activists. By the end of the course, students will understand how epidemiological studies are designed and carried out; be able to generate hypotheses about the underlying causes of diseases based on prevalence and incidence data; and understand how the presentation of data and the design of studies can restrict or expand our understanding of the human condition.  Examples will be drawn from many sources, including research on international public health emergencies such as Ebola and AIDS and recent mysterious increases in specific mental illnesses.

Childhood has always been treacherous. In many parts of the world, infants and toddlers still succumb in vast numbers to pneumonia, malaria and other killer dis1010eases; in the West, doctors and parents are flummoxed by soaring rates of developmental and learning disabilities like autism and attention deficit disorder and psychological conditions like depression and psychosis that disproportionately strike adolescents and young adults. Many children have been   conscripted into armies or rebel groups, or taken from their families and sold. In this course, you will learn  how researchers study the major afflictions of childhood, from birth to early adulthood, and how the public health and human rights communities have been attempting to protect them, often successfully, over the past two hundred years.

Students will explore the legal, political, pedagogical, and empirical questions that have been central to this field over the last three decades, such as: What are the rights of LGBTQ+ students and educators, and what are the obstacles to their being realized? What strategies have been successful in advocacy for more LGBTQ+ positive schools, and what lessons do they hold for future change? What do LGBTQ+ supportive school environments look like, and what does research tell us about their effectiveness? Although K–12 schooling will be the primary focus of the class, we will also examine the landscape of undergraduate education vis-à-vis LGBTQ+ issues. As a final project, students will present an “educational change plan,” in which they envision how they might contribute to positive change in an area related to this relatively nascent field.

Readings and topics include work by Kathyrin Yusoff and Elizabeth Povinelli on geopower and geontology; theories of the anthropocene; struggles of indegenous communities against infrastructures of colonialism (for example, Standing Rock) and extractive industries (mining and quarrying in particular); and the potentialities of swamps and other neglected geographies.  We will also explore -- which means, read and analyze -- the processed interventions on the landscape we inhabit in upstate New York and areas of the Hudson River.  (Pelin Tan is the 2019-2020 Keith Haring Fellow in Arts and Activism.)

The seminar is divided into two parts: (1) revisiting pedagogical initiatives with an emphasis on the difference that geography (esp. rural and urban) makes; and (2) extensive research in pedagogical methods and decolonization.  We will ask: What are the urgencies of design and architecture pedagogies in contested territories?  How can pedagogies reveal and bring about ways of unlearning and undoing?  Can alternative approaches in education and research reach beyond established institutional structures and through transversal and collective approaches? Do they make a difference in transforming knowledge, and how do they shape art and design practices of the present?  (Pelin Tan is the 2019-2020 Keith Haring Fellow in Art and Activism.)
