LIT4682 In the Extreme: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Human Rights
4 Advanced Liberal Arts CreditsThe philosophy of basic human rights originates with the earliest records of humans, and humans have struggled to define and defend these most basic tenets of ethical human conduct and rights ever since. This course will focus upon grave human rights abuses such as torture, genocide, and rape, and will consider the increasingly blurred line between "peacetime" and "wartime" violations. We will begin with philosophical, political, and legal definitions of human rights, then move quickly to specific cases related to the impacts and legacies of imperialism and the resurgence of nationalism and white supremacy. In this context, we will examine challenges to international human rights law from military and technological developments, mass migration, and climate change, paying special attention to the role of art, literature, and film in addressing these challenges.

ECN7505 International Macro: What Every MBA Should Know
3 Elective CreditsThis course focuses on the intersection between international macroeconomics and business strategy. It highlights the movements of and interrelations among major macroeconomic variables that affect the performance of nations, in general, and businesses, in particular. None of these economic factors is controlled by any manager, but good managers must react to, cope with, and anticipate them. IM provides an intuitive, logical, and internally consistent framework for managers to: (1) function effectively in a world where business performance and strategies are affected by international institutions, domestic and global economic forces, as well as government and central bank policies , (2) evaluate whether government and central bank policies are sustainable, (3) create and critically evaluate country analyses, (4) clarify how changes in a country's economic climate affect corporate financial plans and capital budgeting decisions, and (5) improve financial projections (e.g., cash flow statements, income statements and balance sheets). With this knowledge, managers are better able to internalize, analyze, and make decisions based on the expected impact that economic, political, and social forces have on companies' strategies, competitive positions, and performances.
