Hunter College Asian American Studies Program Seeks Adjunct Instructors

The Hunter College Asian American Studies Program (AASP) currently invites applications for adjunct positions in the program. Upcoming opportunities include a summer course, ASIAN 320.05 (Asian American Memoir), scheduled for Summer Session I (June 2 - July 10, 2008). This class is currently scheduled to meet M, T, W, Th from 11:40 – 13:18. Fall opportunities may also include ASIAN 210.00 (Asians in the U.S.), the program’s interdisciplinary survey course in Asian American history and experience, as well as other, more specialized courses (Asian American Women’s Literature, Asian American Social Protest Literature, Asian Americans and the Law, etc.). M.A., M.F.A., ABD, and PhD applicants in relevant fields will be considered.

ASIAN 320.05 is an undergraduate course that explores the subject of Asian American history, literature, and experience through the lens of memoir. This course presents a wonderful opportunity for anyone interested in teaching Asian American literature to a diverse and bright student population. The Hunter College AASP is a small but dynamic program, with a core group of instructors and affiliated faculty in English, Sociology, Urban Affairs, Political Science, and Film/Video. Our instructors are genuinely dedicated to the students they teach, and we are seeking candidates who demonstrate service to the community as well as innovation and commitment in the field.

Applicants should understand the complexities of a diverse student body and be familiar with teaching interdisciplinary courses that examine the intersections of race, class, gender, and sexuality. Candidates must have successful backgrounds in teaching at the undergraduate level, be effective, organized, and have outstanding communications skills.
