NYU’s Division of Applied Undergraduate Studies (DAUS) is looking for an instructor to teach a course entitled Contemporary World in spring 2022. The course runs once a week on Fridays from 11:00 AM to 1:30 PM (Start date is Jan 28). This division, housed in the School of Professional Studies, offers BA & BS degrees to post-traditional students. The course is part of the program’s core curriculum. Classes tend to be small (usually fewer than 20 students). Faculty create their own syllabi subject to departmental approval. Interested candidates should contact Clif Hubby at: clif.hubby@nyu.edu.

Here is the course description:

An introduction to global history in the modern era, examining structures and processes of interaction among the world’s regions and peoples from c. 1800 onwards as well as the historical craft itself. Major themes and issues include the aftermath of the Atlantic and industrial revolutions, the effects of European and American imperialism, the two World Wars, decolonization, the changing power structures and economies of China, Japan, and other Pacific Rim countries, and the challenges of globalization in the wake of the dissolution of the Communist world.
