PhD in Science and Management Of Climate Change - Partnership with The Euro-Mediterranean Centre On Climate…

The 36th cycle of the PhD in Science and Management of Climate Change is a joint initiative between Ca’ Foscari University of Venice and the Euro-Mediterranean Center on Climate Change (CMCC).

The PhD programme offers a 4-year fully funded scholarship, including one year of full-time coursework, with worldwide research opportunities and connections to a broad international network of top-level universities and research centers in the field, as well as placement in highly renowned institutions afterwards. The programme is conducted entirely in English.

Students come from very diverse backgrounds, ranging from engineering science, to social science, political science, natural science, and environmental science.

The main objective of the programme is to create scholars who can navigate the complex and multi-faceted dimensions of the grand challenges posed by climate change. It prepares experts with a broad and thorough scientific background in economics, climate science, valuation techniques and with specific modelling skills who can:

• Understand and explain the physical and economic nature of climate change
• Assess the impacts, socio-economic effects, and uncertainties related to climate change
• Evaluates the socio-economic implications of mitigation and adaptation policies
• Apply interdisciplinary concepts, methods, and tools to analyze and design innovative climate policy solutions
• Apply interdisciplinary concepts, methods, and tools to conceive transformational pathways in the context of sustainable development
• Synthesize and communicate the different dimensions of climate change and their uncertainties to different users – from the general public to policy makers and the scientific community

The programme offers a mix of practical and theoretical learning with a strong focus on the interaction between students and teaching staff. Experts from national and international organizations and research centers participate in some courses. The programme has connections with an extensive network of top universities (e.g. MIT, Harvard University, Columbia University, and Imperial College of London), national and international research institutes (e.g. CNR, CMCC, OGS, and PIK), as well as consultancy agencies (e.g. Climate Policy Initiative) where students can conduct research for their PhD theses.

By acquiring a sound scientific understanding of how to approach climate change at the global level, PhD graduates will be able to assume leadership roles in the academic world (e.g. Georgia Institute of Technology, Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, CMCC, CNR, and OGS), in consultancy, as well as in the energy and insurance sectors, both private (e.g. Climate Policy Initiative and Acclimatise) and public (e.g. World Bank, European Commission, and World Resources Institute).

Candidates are required to have a certified English proficiency of at least the B2 level - under the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) - at the time of enrolment, or no later than December 31st, 2020 if acquiring it subsequently, otherwise they will be excluded from the PhD Programme (see art. 3, paragraph 6 of the call). Candidates can also submit their TOEFL score, if obtained; its congruity with CEFR B2 level will be evaluated by the Commission.

Admitted candidates whose mathematical skills are not considered adequate are required to attend a Math preparatory course.

During the second or third year, all PhD students must carry out a study/research period an international university or research institute.

AAAS S-138 Study Abroad in Venice, Italy: Race and Global Migration View More

Glenda Carpio, PhD, Professor of English and of African and African American Studies, Harvard University 4 credits UN, GR Limited Enrollment. Monday/Wednesday, 12:45-3:15pm

Migration patterns have shaped reshaped states and individuals throughout history and across the world. Forced migration, produced by imperial legacies and neo-colonialist practices and, increasingly, by climate change, poses political and social challenges in both the United States and Europe. This course introduces key scholarly debates in the study of forced migration in comparative race studies, and in literature. We will investigate the causes and consequences of modern population movements from a comparative perspective by asking: what are the social, economic, and political reasons and outcomes for migration across sending and receiving countries? We will also explore how contemporary literary artists represent global migration as it intersects with race and racism in America and in Europe.

ECON S-1490 Study Abroad in Venice, Italy: Introduction to Financial Markets View More

Paolo Pellizzari , PhD, Professsor of Economics, Ca’ Foscari University 4 credits UN, GR Limited enrollment. Tuesday/Thursday, 12:45-3:15pm

The first part of this course provides an introduction to financial markets, instruments, and trading. In the second part, modern portfolio theory is presented, touching important topics such as diversification, portfolio risk, the trade-off between risks and return, the capital asset pricing model, and the importance of the efficient market hypothesis.

Prerequisite: Precalculus. Some background on probability theory is helpful but not required.

ENGL S-36V Study Abroad in Venice, Italy: Venetian Art and the Bible View More

Gordon Teskey , PhD, Professor of English, Harvard University 4 credits UN, GR Limited enrollment. Tuesday/Thursday, 9:15-11:45am

William Blake called the Bible “the great code of art.” Nowhere was this statement truer than in the famous Italian centers of art, Rome, Florence, and Venice. But the biblical culture of Venice was special because of her rich contacts with the East: with Islam, with the Greek culture of the Eastern Mediterranean, and with the Holy Land itself. The great cathedral of Venice, Saint Mark’s, is named for the city’s patron, who wrote the oldest and most venerable of the Christian gospels. The Bible provided the artists of Venice with a rich fund of subjects for painting and sculpture. This course gives students an outline of the contents and structure of the Bible similar to what most people in Venice would have had during the period when its greatest art was produced. The aim is for students to be able to look at a work of Venetian art and read not only its biblical subject but also its biblical thinking, especially the subterranean connections between episodes. We also consider how extra-biblical subjects such as saints’ legends and episodes from the apocrypha are themselves extensions of biblical reading. Meeting times are about equally divided between classroom discussion and field trips to sites around Venice. Among the more important of these are Saint Mark’s cathedral, the Doge Palace, the Basilica dei Frari, the Scuola di San Rocco (with its amazing Tintorettos), the Basilica di Santi Giovanni e Paolo, the Basilica della Salute (with Titian’s biblical paintings in the sacristry), and the Accademia gallery, with its great hall containing Veronese’s gigantic and exuberant  Feast in the House of Levi  and Titian’s large but intimate  Pieta, with its subtle biblical meanings adopted to personal expression. The course’s final class concludes in this room, in front of these contrasting visions of the meaning of life, seen through the lens of the Bible.

ENGL S-122 Study Abroad in Venice, Italy: Shakespeare's Venice -- Jews, Blacks, Muslims, and Christians at the Origin of the Modern World View More

Stephen Greenblatt , PhD, Cogan University Professor of the Humanities, Harvard University Shaul Bassi , PhD, Full Professor of English, Ca’ Foscari University 4 credits UN, GR Limited enrollment. Monday/Wednesday, 12:45-3:15pm

A great early modern metropolis and a richly symbolic landscape, Venice is the setting of two seminal plays by Shakespeare, a comedy and a tragedy.  The Merchant of Venice  and  Othello  have made the Jewish moneylender Shylock and the Moor Othello the emblematic ethnic and cultural outsiders, figures who both foreshadow and challenge the modern notion of a multicultural community. This course analyzes the Shakespearean texts, reads their principal sources, and charts their controversial critical and theatrical histories. We examine the rich cultural and literary material that informs the plays, including the representations of Africans, Jews, and Muslims, and their multiple resonances in different times and places, including modern adaptations in fiction and film. Our presence in Venice is crucial to our understanding: we explore why the setting for these plays had to be here and not elsewhere, and we visit Venetian sites that illuminate the biblical, classical, and ethnographic contexts that forged Shakespeare’s notions of cultural and religious difference.

Note:  Professor Greenblatt will lecture for two weeks of the course.

HARC S-140 Study Abroad in Venice, Italy: Private and Public Life in Venice, in the Renaissance and Beyond View More

Myriam Pilutti Namer, PhD, Adjunct Professor in the History of the Arts of Venice and the Veneto, Ca’Foscari University Martina Frank, PhD, Professor of Philosophy and Cultural Heritage, Ca’ Foscari University 4 credits UN, GR Limited enrollment. Tuesday/Thursday, 9:15-11:45am

Venetian nobles in the Renaissance were remarkable commissioners of works of art and architecture as well as of literature and music. Venetian patricians were also cultured collectors of antiquities and even owners of villas and gardens on the mainland. At the same time many of them were distinguished politicians, ruling the state in order to guarantee social peace and the independence of the Serenissima Republic from other European powers. Their private life was performed in a universe of palazzi (buildings), ville (villas) and giardini (gardens), while their public role was practiced both in the Ducal Palace and the basilica of the piazza San Marco, and in the scuole (charitable organizations). The first part of the course focuses on the interaction between private and public life in Renaissance Venice. The chronology is extended to the seventeenth and the eighteenth centuries in order to explore the changes that occurred in economic and cultural life and to determine their influence on the residential behavior of the Venetian ruling class. The second part of the course focuses on a number of meaningful locations where, during the Renaissance and beyond, the boundaries of public and private sphere overlapped and blended. These case studies offer examples of critical junctions between private origins and present public use or vice versa, exploring new paradigms in the definition of space in Venice.

HIST S-1158 Study Abroad in Venice, Italy: Italy in a Global Context, 16th to 19th Centuries View More

Giulia Delogu , PhD, Assistant Professor of Early Modern History, Linguistics and Comparative Cultural Studies, Ca’ Foscari University 4 credits UN, GR Limited enrollment. Monday/Wednesday, 9:15-11:45am

This course re-examines the history of Italy in the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries through a global lens, highlighting how the Italian peninsula was not a decadent, insular region during this period, but a vital center of far-reaching networks of commercial, political, and cultural exchange. These networks reveal Italian cities as both recipients of and active agents in processes of knowledge formation. The course highlights the importance of port cities such as Venice, Trieste, and Livorno, exploring their roles in the circulation of information ranging from commercial reforms and ideas of human rights to immigration and public health policies. Students examine historical documents from the state archives of Trieste, Modena, Venice, Genoa, and Milan, as well as literary masterpieces of the period, and gain a comprehensive view of recent scholarship on Italy and the new methodological horizons of global history.

Prerequisite:  none.

HUMA S-125 Study Abroad in Venice, Italy: The Ethics of Identity View More

Jay M. Harris , PhD, Harry Austryn Wolfson Professor of Jewish Studies, Harvard University 4 credits UN, GR Limited enrollment. Tuesday/Thursday, 12:45-3:15pm

This course engages with the ethical challenges presented by personal and group identities. Built around K. Anthony Appiah’s book,  The Ethics of Identity , in conversation with his predecessors, interlocutors, and opponents (among them Kant, Mill, and Rawls), the course focuses on contentious contemporary issues regarding inclusion and exclusion, and on how we can engage with our multiple identities in ethically responsive ways.

VISU S-168 Study Abroad in Venice, Italy: Designing Augmented Reality Experiences for Museums and Cultural Sites View More

Fabio Pittarello , PhD, Associate Professor in Environmental Sciences, Informatics and Statistics, Ca’ Foscari University 4 credits UN, GR Limited enrollment. Monday/Wednesday, 9:15-11:45am

The course teaches students how to create a user experience (UX), based on augmented reality (AR) technology, targeted to cultural heritage sites and art exhibitions. Theoretical lectures are complemented by lab sessions focused on different methodological and technical issues involved in the development of an AR-based UX. The scenario for the development is one of the exhibitions or cultural heritage sites available in Venice at the time of the course—for example, the exhibition spaces of Ca’ Giustinian (on the south side of Ca’ Foscari), the Svevo Museum in Trieste, or Modus, a collateral event of La Biennale Arte. Students collaborate in small working groups for creating the final prototype.
