These logics are encapsulated in theory-based broad platform-specific affordances mapped onto practices in which users and media organizations operate in social media. Media organizational practices in their social and technical contexts are juxtaposed to the user or audience practices, that are currently mediated through automated and algorithmic means prevalent in social media.

We will be examining how a larger body of research can spawn multiple threads of inquiry each with differing aspects which are relevant to specific audiences related to funding, academic conferences and publications. Within an academic research context, this entails the extraction of specific aspects of students' work which are then investigated further through the specific lens of conference or journal themes and topics.

GDA-5211 . The emergence of a globalized and interconnected economy means that adverse macroeconomic events can greatly impact a firm’s performance. Witness for example the 2007-08 financial crisis and ensuing recession in the US, or the fiscal crises in Europe. To effectively respond to these risks and opportunities, business leaders need to have a sound understanding of the key economic and institutional factors that affect their firm’s environment. Relying primarily on a case-based learning approach, we will study key macroeconomic events and policies that have had widespread implications for society and firms doing business in a country. The experience gained from analyzing these phenomena with a coherent framework will provide managers with a competitive advantage.

GDA-7463 . Industrial Ecology (IE) is an evolving view of industrial operations which seeks to design processes and manufacture products in such a way to minimize and optimize their environmental interactions. IE borrows the analogy from nature that “waste” from one organism is “food” for another. Within the “technosphere”, the organization in which economic processes and activities are conducted by humans, IE uses the evolving tools life cycle assessment (LCA), material flow analysis (MFA), and economic valuation, to explore novel approaches to minimizing waste stocks and flows at both micro and macro levels.

MUSL 650 . Governance for Museums and Non-Profit Organizations
GDA-11787 . Most museums in the United States hold their collections in the public trust—meaning that they are accountable to the public as a result of their tax-exempt status. Similarly the non-profit sector exists to serve a social purpose or need that the public sector or government cannot or does not serve. To manage the public trust and represent the interests of the public at large, museums and non-profit organizations have boards of “trustees.” Trustees are community leaders who, in the non-profit sector, serve as volunteers and contribute wealth, wisdom and work to the organization on whose boards they serve. This class will examine the ethical, legal and strategic implications of governance and examine the interactions between boards and museum staff.

Today, new materialists return to biology, nature, sex, body, and matter in order to move beyond the logics of essentialism and somatophobia. This course will survey the results of this return with a special emphasis on understandings of sex and sexual difference.
