This appointment carries no presumption of renewal. The ideal candidate will be qualified to teach the Visual Studies Program foundational course LVIS 2001: Introduction to Art History and Visual Studies as well as two upper-level, elective courses for the Visual Studies Program curriculum, including new courses that address histories/genealogies of art; theories/methodologies of artistic forms, techniques, technologies, or media; exhibition & curatorial studies; and/or research-based artistic practice. We seek a candidate with prior experience teaching discussion-based seminar courses in a liberal arts context; and a record of effective scholarly contributions to art history, visual studies or related fields. The Visual Studies program is a part of the Department of the Arts, which also includes Music, Dance, and Theater programs. Eugene Lang College is a liberal arts college within the larger nexus of The New School, which includes The New School for Social Research, Parsons School of Design, the College of Performing Arts, and Parsons Paris. A home for progressive thought and pedagogy, with a commitment to small, intensive, discussion-based seminar-style teaching and learning, Lang has an open curriculum, in which students craft their own learning experiences, through the mentorship of faculty.
