PPPM 321 Inclusive Urbanism (4 credits, SYNC WEB, CRN 41867), >2, >AC, >US
Instructor: A. Huerta

Urban exclusion has manifested in different forms throughout history as the result of prejudice, intolerance, and discrimination. These consequences have had profound effects on the form and function of cities, and, in turn, on the ability of underrepresented segments of the population to reach their full economic and human potential—and in some cases their ability to be valued members of society at all. This course investigates the relationship between social and economic inclusion and the built environment of cities through a range of scales (building, neighborhood, district, city, region) and from multiple disciplinary perspectives (architecture, planning, urban design, nonprofit management, public policy, landscape architecture, and environmental studies). Social equity, environmental justice, and economic opportunity – and the critical perspectives through which these and similar topics are addressed – will enable students to better understand, advocate for, and build communities that are more inclusive, healthy, and just.

As such, this course will explore leadership across cultures, contexts, and purposes, including organizational (nonprofit, government, and for-profit), community, and political spheres. Answers to leadership questions relate to what we envision leadership to be as well as what leadership we may dismiss depending on our cultural and historical backgrounds and experiences. Students in this class will gain cultural and historical understandings of how leadership is practiced. This includes learning some processes of facilitation skills used for inclusive, rather than exclusive, community involvement. Since leadership has the potential to both inspire and divide, we will turn our analytical lens to focus on the use of language and communication as a tool that can create, divide, or unite.

PPPM 407 Public Sector Leadership (2 credits, CRN 15612), Instructor: S. Mokrohisky

Public sector leaders are confronted with two types of problems: technical problems, which can be solved by expertise and good management, and adaptive problems; where conflicting values and beliefs come into play, such as homelessness, environmental justice, human rights, land use, public safety and economic growth. Public sector leaders are increasingly called upon to address these adaptive challenges. Whereas addressing technical problems follow a traditional problem-solving model, the complexities of adaptive challenges require leaders who are skilled and comfortable with ambiguity, competing interests, distributed power and fractured relationships. A public sector leader must understand and, at times, transform organizations and communities to help ensure that the ideal of the public good results in prosperity for all community members.

PPPM 407 Environmental Justice (4 credits, CRN 15613), Instructor: P. Hunnicutt

Why do some communities bear the brunt of environmental problems like pollution and climate change while others do not?

PPPM 610 Introduction to Planning Principles and Practice (3 credits, CRN 14597) Instructor: M. Banks

Introduction to Planning Principles and Practice is intended for students in the Master of Community and Regional Planning program. The aim of this class is to introduce you to the range of planning principles and practice, and the ways in which these merge or conflict in practice. On one hand, the broad aims of planning allow it to encompass many fields including design, economics, community development, and policy. On the other hand, the vast nature of planning often makes it feel too diffuse. A key element of this course is understanding the foundations of planning that allow, and have allowed, planning – and thereby planners – to facilitate healthy cities and communities. The course will include practical aspects of the planning profession as well as exploring and discovering about what interests you specifically within the profession. Fundamentally, this class focuses on “what planners do,” which you will discover is the hardest question of the whole term.

PPPM 613 Planning Analysis I (5 credits, CRN 14598) Instructor: A. Brown

This course is designed for first term students in the MCRP Program. The course provides an overview of planning methods and analytical frameworks.

Through personal reflection, group work, and research students will learn how to master skills to navigate the theoretical side of planning.

PPPM 617 Human Settlements (4 credits, CRN 14601) Instructor: M. Schlossberg

Human Settlements focuses on the form and function of cities, how our current urbanized areas took on the characteristics they do, how the process of changing that form and function happens, and what types of changes may be needed to address big issues like climate change, social inclusion and inequality, affordability, health, and happiness.

PPPM 618 Public Sector Theory (4 credits, CRN 14602) Instructor: D. Mason

This course provides a theoretical and historical base for the Masters of Public Administration and Masters of Nonprofit Management degree programs. It is intended to not only introduce you to the ideas of public service, public administration and policy over the past century, but also to enable you to place yourself within the historical debates and to give you the knowledge enabling an almost prescient ability to predict the waves of public and nonprofit sector reforms and backlash in the future. No small task! The emphasis will be on the U.S., but the ideas are relevant to public service professions in other countries. This course occupies a unique introductory niche in the MPA and MNM curricula, concentrating on the history and theory of administering policy for public benefit – big ideas and counterarguments to the big ideas.

This course is an introduction to basic economic concepts and theory, and how these apply to analysis of the public sector. Government involvement is a common element in the economies of most countries including the United States. We consume a wide array of goods and services provided by the government sector. Examples include sidewalks, streets, public transit, education, police and fire protection, national defense and the administration of a legal system. In addition, the government sector regulates much of the activity in the private sector. These public policies are undertaken to improve economic efficiency (i.e. correct the failures of the private market) or to alter the distribution of economic well-being (improve equity). The goal of this course is to use economic tools to understand how the public sector interacts with the private economy to improve economic efficiency.

PPPM 637 MPA Policy Analysis Project (1 credit, CRN 14606) Instructor: N. Ngo

Students team to produce a professionally oriented policy analysis memorandum and presentation on an assigned topic in a 48-hour period.

PPPM 656 Quantitative Methods for Planning, Public Policy & Management (5 credits, CRN 14607) Instructor: P. Hunnicutt

A key trend in the public and non-profit sectors is evidence-based decision-making, and this course is designed to improve your ability to use empirical evidence to make decisions related to planning, public policy, and management. You will learn the basics of statistical analysis, including which statistical techniques are appropriate to use to answer different research questions. You will use Microsoft Excel to manage data and conduct statistical analysis. Additionally, you will learn to interpret empirical findings and write about the results of data analysis in an accessible and clear manner. This course assumes no prior background in statistics and it requires no calculus. Basic algebra will be used to illustrate the intuition behind some of the statistical tests.

PPPM 680 Managing Nonprofit Organizations (4 credits, CRN 14609) Instructor: D. Mason

This course will cover principles of effective management in nonprofit organizations, focusing on leadership, governance, legal structure and standards, strategic communications, volunteer administration and the role of nonprofits in solving some of society’s greatest problems. This course will not only provide a “how to” in managing nonprofit organizations but will provide some of the research and theory on issues facing nonprofits, and help us approach problems from a strategic perspective grounded in both theory and practice. In doing so, we will use real world examples and experiences to ensure that academic lessons translate to the nonprofit experience.

PPPM 686 Nonprofit 48-Hour Charrette (1 credit, CRN 14610) Instructor: A. Russo

The 48-Hour Charrette, offered to 2nd-year Master of Nonprofit Management students and others with instructor approval, requires students to complete a management memo on an assigned topic. All of the work will be completed within a 48-hour period starting on September 21, 2022. This short turnaround mimics the high stakes, deadline-intensive schedule that characterizes professional work in the nonprofit sector. Students will attend a program launch on the first day of the project and will receive their topic, plus their team rosters. 48 hours later, the student groups will turn in their completed projects’ written portion and make PowerPoint presentations summarizing their findings. These presentations may be attended by other faculty members, nonprofit professionals and members of the public. Finally, the class will be concluded with a “Reflections and Debriefing” session during the Fall term (date to be confirmed after the presentation).

PPPM 687 Nonprofit Board Governance (1 credit, CRN 14611) Instructor: D. Lang

Students serve on governing boards of nonprofit organizations for one year: fall, winter, and spring terms. Repeatable twice for a maximum of 3 credits.
