The History Department of the College of Staten Island CUNY invites applications from qualified adjuncts to teach the following four undergraduate course sections at its Willowbrook Campus in the fall 2018 semester (fall 2018 semester begins August 27, 2018).

 

HST 260, U.S. HISTORY: FIRST ENCOUNTERS TO THE PRESENT (4 hours, 4 credits)

Course meets Tuesday & Thursday 10:10-12:05 pm (first class meeting August 27, 2018).

Adjunct would be expected to adopt a standard syllabus and suggested readings, teaching one of a number of sections of the same course.

Abbreviated Course Description: A one semester survey of United States History. While designed to contribute to the liberal arts general education of CSI students and to the training of history majors, the course will be especially valuable to students intending careers as elementary and middle school social studies teachers, since it is based on the content and skills required of elementary and middle school social studies teachers in New York City and State.

 

HS/AAD 160, AFRICAN-AMERICAN HISTORY:1619 TO THE PRESENT (3 hours, 3 credits)

course meets Monday evenings, 6:30-9:50 pm (first class meeting August 27, 2018).

Course Description: From the forced migration of the first Africans in the 17th century to the contemporary struggles for equality; emphasis on such topics as slavery, abolition, Reconstruction, the origins of Jim Crow, urban migrations, the struggle for civil rights, non-violence, and the new militancy.
