Complexity and Public Policy
Welcome to Complexity and Public Policy Course! This course provides an overview of the complexity in public policy situations leading to so-called “wicked policy problems” which appear to have no clear solutions. These problems are widespread, ranging from the Covid-19 pandemic and climate change to economic inequality, traffic congestion, species extinction, SDG achievement, and so forth. They share the characteristics of complex adaptive systems, including nonlinear dynamic change, emergence, self-organization, and adaptation, and resist traditional public policy analytic approaches that normally fail. You will analyze such problems and gain insights into public policy analysis, formulation, monitoring, and evaluation. After gaining insights into the nature of wicked problems and how to make sense of public policy dilemmas, you will learn about complexity economics and applications of complexity tools to various public policy contexts. Furthermore, you will learn about basic models used in complex situations, policy design and evaluation methods, and an alternative approach to public service. This is an intermediate course, intended for learners with a background in social sciences, economics, or public policy. The knowledge you gain from this course will help you in mid- or senior-level policy analysis and planning careers in government or consulting to industries. The course prepares you to: 1. Interpret various policy and planning contexts to decide which analytical tools are best suited. 2. Use various sense-making tools. 3. Understand the difference between complicated and appropriate tools for each. 4. Develop basic computational models to deal with complex policy problems. 5. Understand the different kinds of uncertainty and how to work with them. To succeed in this course, you should have experience in/know about/basic understanding of basic computer software used for computations and simple modeling. You will also need certain hardware or software requirements, including if possible Netlogo software although the professor will provide all the guidance you need.

Health, Society, and Wellness in COVID-19 Times
You may be encountering a world unlike any other generation. The public health crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic has created a context of pervasive uncertainty, heightened anxiety, and social isolation that overlaps with a critical time of your own learning and development. The COVID-19 pandemic also has exacerbated long-standing inequalities and disparities, and recent events in the United States have laid bare historical and current realities of racism and systemic oppression. These challenges make starting college complicated in unprecedented ways, compounded by the fact that our university settings are themselves complex and rapidly changing. These challenges also present unique opportunities for interdisciplinary and practical learning. This course aims to help you navigate this world and the new conditions for learning with knowledge and skill. We designed the course with participatory methods, which means that we asked students to take a key role as partners with faculty in designing the course content, structure, and learning experiences. Together, we sought to integrate faculty expertise with the perspectives and experiences of students to make the course material relevant to your life. In this class, we will explore perspectives on disease and society and on systemic racism and inequality with scholars in the natural sciences, social sciences, arts and humanities, education, communications and media, and engineering. Engaging these disciplines to examine the complex problems of the global pandemic and systemic racism will help you build conceptual and practical skills that you will use throughout college and beyond. In conjunction with investigating health and social crises, new and ongoing, we also will explore the science and practice of individual and community wellness. You will learn skills relevant to emotions, relationships, common mental health concerns, and learning in the age of Zoom and remote classes. You will learn practices of cooperation, compassion, and anti-racism for community wellness. Welcome to Health, Society, and Wellness in COVID-19 Times!
