THE ASIAN AMERICAN STUDIES PROGRAM AT HUNTER COLLEGE, CUNY, SEEKS ADJUNCT FACULTY FOR JUNE 10 - JULY 12, 2010
The Asian American Studies Program at Hunter College, The City University of New York, currently seeks candidates to teach "Asians in the U.S.," their interdisciplinary introduction to Asian American Studies. Applicants must have an M.A. or ABD in a relevant field, as well as a record of successful undergraduate teaching.
The Asian American Studies Program (AASP) at Hunter College was founded in 1993 on the initiative of students and faculty. Today, they are a small but dynamic program with a growing number of minors, and they offer approximately 12 courses per semester, ranging from our interdisciplinary survey courses to more advanced courses in Literature, Cultural Studies, and Diasporic community formations -- West Asian American, Chinese American, and Korean American in particular. Located in the heart of New York City, the AASP works closely with Asian American organizations to build and sustain ties to local communities and concerns. Affiliated full-time faculty in the College are located in areas as diverse as Urban Studies, Film and Media, Sociology, English, and Dance.
Applicants should be prepared to teach "Asians in the U.S." to a cross-section of undergraduate students from all majors. The majority of the courses are taught by adjunct faculty, and as a result, the work you will do in their program is crucial to the process of introducing undergraduates to concepts concerning Asian American history and experience; they hope to work with dedicated, effective, and intelligent educators, and they seek to provide a welcoming and supportive work environment for their faculty.
