Lecturer in the History of Asian Art and​/or Latin American Art

Brief Description of Duties

The successful candidate will teach upper‑division undergraduate survey courses in the program's "World Art" area, which includes the art history of China, Japan, Mexico, and Latin America. The candidate should have a strong expertise in either East Asian art history or Latin American art history. In addition to survey courses, part‑time faculty may also teach lower‑division General Education courses within Art History and Visual Culture, especially ARTH 70C, the survey of Asian art.

The candidate will teach within a dynamic department that encourages cross‑disciplinary practice among architectural history, studio art, and design education. Thus, we seek candidates with an understanding of and engagement with recent debates in global art history, especially in areas of the world outside Europe. Candidates must address the needs of a student population of great diversity—age, cultural background, ethnicity, primary language, and academic preparation—through course materials, teaching strategies, and advisement.

They will also be required to participate in 1–2 faculty meetings per semester and provide assessment data and information to the department.

• Ph.D. in art history or an equivalent field and teaching experience at the university level in Asian and/or Latin American art history; strong writing skills and an ability to direct and assess student writing; scholarly engagement in the area of design history as evidenced by presentation and publication.
• Candidates must also have an awareness of and sensitivity to the educational goals of a multicultural population as might have been gained in cross-cultural study, training, teaching, and other comparable experience.
