Adjunct Positions at Brooklyn College
Now that I’m chair of the political science department, I have the dubious privilege of hiring adjunct instructors to teach some of our courses. I say dubious privilege because the use and abuse of adjuncts in higher education, especially at CUNY, is a scandal. In our department, we do our best to make it not such a scandal–our classes are small, we push for the highest rates possible, we try to minimize uncertainty — but that’s just putting lipstick on a pig.
Anyway, here are the positions that we have available in political science.
Undergraduate Courses
1. The American Presidency, Thursday, 6:05-8:35 pm
2. The Politics of Incarceration, Tuesdays and Thursdays, 3:40-5:20
3. Moot Court, Friday, 9:30-12 pm
4. Writing on Comparative Politics, Tuesdays and Thursdays, 3:40-5:20
5. Introduction to Politics, Thursday, 6:05-8:35
6. Introduction to American Government, Mondays and Wednesdays, 2:15-3:55
MA Courses
7. Government and Urban Politics of NYC, Thursdays, 8 pm-9:40
Other
8. Introduction to Politics, Mondays, 2:15-4:45. This class is run out of the political science department, but it is taught at a College Now partner high school in Bushwick. Students are juniors and seniors in high school who have specially applied to be in the class. College Now is a collaborative initiative of CUNY and the New York City Department of Education. Its primary goal is to improve the academic achievement of the city’s public high school students and to ensure that graduating students are ready to do college-level work.
