Full-time Media Studies Visiting Faculty Position at Bennington College
Bennington College
Job Type: | Full time
Location: Bennington, Vermont, United States
Bennington College seeks a visiting faculty member for a one-year full-time teaching position in media studies, beginning Fall 2023. The ideal candidate's work will be a balance of theory and practice, with a focus within one or more of the following: global media industries, race and technology, Black studies, environmental media studies, film theory and aesthetics, affect theory, social media and network culture, or interactive media theory and design. Candidates for this position should have an established record of publication and/or production and teaching at the intersection of media theory, history, culture, and technology. Preference will be given to candidates with a Ph.D. in Media Studies or related fields, or MFA in Design, Visual Communication, or related fields.
The successful applicant will teach four courses in the academic year and demonstrate a commitment to implementing a curriculum that invites the participation of students with a broad range of interests. Bennington College is a small residential liberal arts college in southern Vermont, long distinguished for its progressive approach to higher education. The College was founded in 1932 on the principle of active engagement in learning, which is manifest in individualized plans of study developed by students together with faculty. Bennington's open curricular structures facilitate innovative teaching across traditional disciplinary boundaries, and small class sizes enable student-centered and engaged learning within the classroom. Candidates that can demonstrate excellence in teaching are especially encouraged to apply.
Bennington serves a student population inclusive of members of ethnically/racially diverse, international, LGBTQIA+, and disability communities as well as diverse gender identities, socioeconomic backgrounds, religions, and political beliefs. Our staff and faculty also reflect diverse and intersecting backgrounds and identities. All employees are expected to be respectful and responsive to these differences in the service of building community that promotes student and employee success. Each individual (faculty, staff and student) will be accountable for upholding these values. The College's approach to pluralism and inclusivity—both as fields of inquiry and practice—is to prioritize flexible thought, and to invite the examination of access, value, power, and privilege through its institutional policies and areas of study. We encourage applications from women and/or candidates from traditionally underrepresented backgrounds and diverse realms of interest and experience to apply.
Candidates should apply online by submitting the following: a) a cover letter; b) a curriculum vitae including names and contact information of three professional references; c) a teaching statement, including pedagogical approaches to anti-racism, equity, and inclusion; and d) examples of recent relevant professional work. Review of applications is ongoing, with preference being given to applicants submitting materials before June 30th, 2023. Visa sponsorship is not available for this position. This position requires the successful completion and acceptable results of a background check.
