Picking courses

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007

I’ve set up this blog on the Berkman server because I am spending the 2007/8 academic year at the John F. Kennedy School of Government. KSG requires me to at least four courses per semester, of which I can cross-register for at most two courses. I can cross-register at all the Harvard schools, plus MIT and the Fletcher School at Tufts.

The KSG courses I am considering this fall are:

  • API-701 Reasoning from History
  • PAL-123 The Politics & Ethics of Statecraft
  • ITF-110 The Political Economy of Trade
  • HUT-264 Housing Policy in the U.S.: Intersection of Public/Private Sectors in Housing Finance
  • PAL-125 Religion and Government: Choices of Morality, Law and Policy

And the non-KSG courses:

  • MIT 14.281 Contract Economics
  • MIT 15.424 Advanced Corporate Finance
  • MIT 14.160 Experimental and Behavioral Economics
  • FAS Economics 2149 Computational Economics
  • HLS 45510-11 Rational Choice

Any comments or pointers to other interesting courses in the Harvard universe?
