New York

Since 2018, AADS has offered a summer course which takes place in New York City called “The Global City.” 

The four-week course explores how America’s largest metropolis has been transnational since its inception: from the conquest of indigenous lands, to the city’s involvement in the U.S. slave trade and plantation economy, to its central role in the industrial revolution, to its status as a destination point for migrants from around the world and, finally, to its emergence as a center of global finance.

Students visit historic landmarks, neighborhoods, museums. The city itself is the classroom. 

​More about future offerings of the Global City (and how you can apply) to come.
