Faculty - Social Science, Pleasant Hill Campus
John Corbally embarked upon an academic career in his thirties. Living in California undocumented for nine years, he worked, first, on construction sites and then in the world of international logistics. Following the events of 9/11, he decided he wanted to teach history and spread more diverse views of historical pasts. Following a B.A. in European History and an M.A. in World History at San Francisco State University, he completed a PhD at UC Davis within four years. In "Shades of Difference: Irish, Caribbean, and South Asian Immigration to the Heart of Empire, 1948-1971," John compared the experiences of migrants from three very different parts of the world, analyzing their role in both disrupting and perpetuating racial and imperial hierarchies in post-World War Two Britain. John taught history and humanities courses at Stanford, as well as British, Irish, European, and World History at UC Berkeley, UC Davis and Mills College amongst others. John teaches World History and European history at DVC.
He has authored and co-authored the following World History text series, from 1500-2000:
Amazon: The Making of the Modern World
Bloomsbury: The Making of the Modern World
