Position Information Position Title Part-Time Adjunct Faculty in Art History: Modern and Contemporary Art Job Summary The Evergreen State College invites applications for a part-time adjunct faculty position in Art History, specializing in modern and contemporary art. This position offers unique opportunities within our growing Art, Media, and Design curricular area. We seek an innovative educator whose teaching can engage with the critical analysis of 19th and 20th-century art, emphasizing intersections with contemporary practices and interdisciplinary approaches. This faculty member will collaborate to design and teach interdisciplinary courses in modern and contemporary art history. This may be in the form of stand-alone courses or by contributing to the college's signature team-taught interdisciplinary programs. Team-teaching opportunities might include programs integrating art history with other disciplines in the Art, Media, and Design area as well as eventual consideration for teaching opportunities with disciplines across the curriculum (natural and social sciences, humanities, etc.). The faculty member will teach the four-credit offering "Art History: Modern and Contemporary Art" in Winter 2025. The preferred schedule for this class is Thursdays from 6-9:50 Pacific time, but the final schedule of evening/weekend offerings can be adjusted in collaboration with the successful candidate. Job Expectations Most faculty will teach in full-time, team-taught, 16-credit programs connected by a particular theme or line of inquiry. Faculty are generally responsible for evaluating 25 students/quarter, though their programs may include up to 50-75 students, depending on the size of their teaching team. This arrangement allows for in-depth, interdisciplinary and experiential learning, and the building of strong learning communities. Faculty are also responsible for advising students as they reflect on their learning process, develop a pathway of study, and formulate their own areas of concentration. Our teaching is student-centered, which means we are interested in helping students develop strong skills in critical thinking, problem solving, communication and collaborative work. Because over 80% of our students come from underserved and marginalized groups, we are particularly invested in approaches to teaching that emphasize diversity and equity, that provide opportunities for challenge and growth, and that foster a learning environment where all are welcome and all can learn from each other. A complete list of faculty responsibilities can be found in the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
