Curriculum Vitae

Paul Adler began teaching at Colorado College inthe Fall of 2018. He received his PhD in History from Georgetown University in 2014. Paul previously taught at the Harvard University History and Literature concentration.

At Colorado College, Paul teaches courses on a variety of topics. His courses emphasize histories of social and political movements, examining the mechanics of how social change is made. He also teaches survey courses on 20th century U.S. history, on the Great Depression and New Deal era, on international political economy and various aspects of the Global Cold War.

Paul's research focuses on internationalist progressive and left organizations and movemets, particularly in the 20th Century. His first book, No Globalization Without Representation: U.S. Activists and Global Inequality, traces a network of activists and advocates who confronted the rise of global neoliberalism from the late 1970s through the "Battle of Seattle" anti-WTO protests in late 1999. The book was selected to inaugurate a new series for the University of Pennsylvania Press. 

Paul is currently working on a new book, a broad history of U.S. progressive/left internationalism from the founding of the republic to the present, currently titled, The Internationalist Impulse: A History of the U.S. Left in the World. Paul also serves on the Board of Advisers of the History and Political Economy Project.
