This foundational course provides a comprehensive analysis of the definition of refugee status set by the UN Refugee Convention, adopted by the United States and 146 other states. Drawing on comparative jurisprudence, the course situates U.S. refugee law in its global context and equips students to undertake both sophisticated policy analysis and complex litigation in the field. The course promotes an understanding of refugee law as a mode of human rights protection, the viability of which requires striking a balance between the needs of the victims of human rights abuse and the legitimate aspirations of the countries to which they flee. |

| Course Description: |
To mark the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks in fall 2021, this seminar will engage students in a critical assessment of the impacts of those attacks and their aftermath on a range of areas of international law. These areas include the international law on terrorism, on the treatment of victims of terrorism, on the use of force, on human rights, on fundamentalism and extremism, and on the principle of non-discrimination. Particular attention will be paid to the situation in Afghanistan in light of the planned U.S. withdrawal on the twentieth anniversary of 9/11, and the human rights situation on the ground in the country. How did 9/11 and the responses to it change international law? What can or should be done about these consequences today? |

| Course Description: |
A "decision" is a commitment to a course of action that is intended to produce outcomes that are satisfying to particular people. Decision making plays a prominent role in the phenomena addressed in many disciplines. PhD students who want their research to make significant contributions to understanding those phenomena would do well to become aware of current as well as classical developments in decision psychology. PSYCH 722 is intended to help students achieve such awareness.
The lectures for the course are shared with PSYCH 449 (whose description prospective PSYCH 722 students should consult). The elements of the course that are unique to PSYCH 722 are evident in the discussion sessions, supplementary readings, and course requirements. The most critical of the latter are students reflections' on readings and their course projects, which entail the assembling of an annotated bibliography on a decision or decision-related topic of the student's choosing. |
