The School of Arts and Sciences seeks adjunct faculty to teach face-to-face sections of Introduction to the Social Sciences: Identity, Power & Society during the Fall Semester, 2024. The courses will meet twice per week on our Boston campus.  The two courses meet at 2:00pm-3:15pm and 3:30pm-4:45pm on T/Th.  This interdisciplinary course introduces students to the social sciences, examining the ways in which social and political structures shape systems of power and affect the formation and experience of social identity, particularly in terms of race, gender, sexuality and socioeconomic class. Students critically examine primary and secondary sources.
