ANT 541: Topics in Social Anthropology - Ethnography and Social Theory Today
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Princeton University
Seminar explores the difference ethnographic methods and engagements bring to evidence-making and to social theorizing. Various theoretical frameworks that inform the ways anthropologists engage, think and write about social experience, subjectivity, and politics today are probed. Which concepts do anthropologists use to approach lives caught in embattled geopolitics and in novel economic, technoscientific and legal constellations? Through which means can we highlight both larger social processes and human singularities? How theoretically generative is the ethnographic and what is the public role of anthropology today?

ANT 570: Interdisciplinary Research - Disciplines as Moral Orders
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Princeton University
Just as cross-cultural comparisons enable critical sociocultural analysis, cross-disciplinary juxtapositions help to expose and disorient unexamined assumptions about knowledges: particularly the conventional distinction between epistemological and ethical discourse. Readings and discussion consider disciplines as moral orders and disciplinary communities as historically contingent yet intellectually compelling contexts for meaning-making. While this Anthropology-of-Knowledges approach may be familiar in science studies, the seminar focuses on the social sciences (e.g., psychology, sociology) and humanities (e.g., history, journalism).

AOS 522: Inverse methods: theory and applications
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Princeton University
Course treats inverse problems from both theoretical and applied perspectives. Students learn to develop the necessary theory to pose, interpret, and solve inverse problems, focusing on topics including error characterization, linear and non-linear methods, approximations, Kalman filters, use of prior constraints, and observing system design. Concepts are illustrated with examples from the current literature on the Earth's carbon cycle.

AOS 523: Water in the Atmosphere
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Princeton University
Despite the paramount importance of atmospheric water vapour for climate, our understanding of the processes that regulate its distribution and changes within a changing climate remains incomplete. This course analyses observations and discusses theoretical approaches, both basic concepts and novel ideas, to the problem. Course is for graduate students with a background in atmospheric and/or oceanic sciences, and students are encouraged to provide contributions from their own research experiences that are related to the course topic.
