Two positions, one part time and one full time, at Marlboro College that were passed to Adam Hempling (Nagano-ken, 2000-02) by a colleague of his at Smith College:
JOB #1: Adjunct instructor for Japanese Aesthetics Course
Marlboro College, a liberal arts institution of 330 students and 39 faculty, invites applications for an adjunct instructor to teach a course on Japanese aesthetics during the spring term 2010. The course would serve as part of the academic preparation for a group of Marlboro students and faculty going to Japan at the conclusion of the spring semester to pursue several research projects on performance, photography, poetry, and contemporary Buddhist practice.
The course should address the theory of Japanese aesthetics as well as their expression in traditional and contemporary cultural forms across different media (dance, theater, literature, painting, photography, etc.). The course would be offered for two credits (rather than the usual four), and would likely meet only once per week.
Please send a cover letter including ideas for the course, C.V., and the names of two references to: Margaret Hunt, assistant to the Dean of Faculty, Marlboro College, PO Box A, Marlboro, VT 05344 EOE
