The instructors of INTL-I 100 Introduction to International Studies are looking for a graduate student to work as an hourly grader this summer. The course is fully asynchronous and online and the work may be done remotely. This summer course is taught to students specializing in cybersecurity and runs for about one month, from July 6 – 30.

The grader can expect to work up to 10 hours per week marking twice-weekly short answer quizzes for as many as 70 students. There will also be a final exam consisting of short essay questions. The wage is $15 per hour. This position is not an assistantship or academic appointment which means tuition waiver, fee remission, and health insurance are not included.

 The material and concepts in I100 provide students a basis for their progress in the global studies major, using analytical tools from the social sciences, arts, and humanities. Students will be introduced to foundational terms and methods they will later study in detail as they pursue one of the department's thematic concentrations (Diplomacy, Security Governance; Human Rights and International Law; Global Development; Global Health and Environment; Culture and Politics; Peace and Conflict). The general course focus is on internationalism---the idea that the world's peoples constitute a family of nations who share interests with, and duties to, each other---a revolutionary idea when it was invented in the nineteenth century. More broadly, this course fosters the study of how individuals, groups, localities, and nations have confronted global issues in the past and present.
