The Institute for Study Abroad is seeking an instructor to teach a sociology and theatre course entitled Performing Arts and Social Change in London for the IFSA in London program over the upcoming fall/autumn 2023 semester.
Semester dates: 11th September through 15th December 2023
The course is designed to introduce students to London’s rich theatre legacy and how its contemporary performing arts scene seeks to elevate the diverse voices of a multicultural urban center.
Along with teaching the class, the instructor will also be responsible for assessment and marking as well as the design of at least two co-curricular activities such as guest speakers, museums or performance visits designed to expose students to new perspectives and help them integrate, apply, and synthesise key learning. The syllabus for the course has been approved by our School of Record, however minor modifications can be made in agreement with the Academic Programs Manager and/or Director.
This is a great opportunity for faculty, postdocs, and PhD students. The ideal candidate will have a minimum of a master’s degree in a related subject as well as teaching and assessment experience in a UK or US higher education setting. Experience working with study abroad students is a plus.
Teaching hours: 3 hours teaching (plus 30 minutes break) once a week over 14 weeks. Total 45 contact hours. The course is currently scheduled for Thursdays (either morning or afternoon), though we can try to rearrange depending on availability.
Interested applicants are encouraged to submit their details as soon as possible. Interviews will take place on a rolling basis.
