Description:
University College at the Faculty of Arts & Science and the Transitional Year Programme (TYP) at the University of Toronto invite applications for a full-time, teaching stream appointment in the field of Black Canadian Studies. The appointment will be at the rank of Assistant Professor, Teaching Stream, with an expected start date of July 1, 2024. It will be a joint appointment between University College in the Faculty of Arts & Science (51%) and the Transitional Year Programme (49%).

Applicants must have earned a PhD degree in a field related to Canadian Studies or a cognate area in either the Humanities or Social Sciences, by the time of appointment or shortly thereafter, with a clearly demonstrated record of excellence in teaching. We seek a candidate who has an established record as an outstanding instructor and is enthusiastic about the opportunity to enjoy a long-term career in teaching at the University of Toronto. We seek candidates whose teaching interests complement and enhance our existing departmental strengths. We seek candidates with a demonstrated ability to teach on topics relating to Black Canadian Studies, but also more broadly with respect to race and ethnicity in Canada, and how these intersect with other forms of identity, such as gender, sexuality, disability, and/or class as well as colonialism and imperialism, see https://www.uc.utoronto.ca/black-canadian-studies.

Candidates must have teaching experience in a degree-granting program, and/or postsecondary access program, including lecture preparation and delivery, curriculum development, and the development of online course materials and lectures. In addition, the successful candidate will be expected to participate in program discussions regarding the curriculum in both TYP and Canadian Studies, as well as engage in undergraduate mentorship with an aim to foster a vibrant intellectual community for undergraduates in both programs. Evidence of excellence and innovation in teaching and a commitment to excellent pedagogical inquiry can be demonstrated through teaching accomplishments, awards and accolades, presentations at significant conferences, the teaching dossier submitted as part of the application (with required materials outlined below) as well as strong letters of references from referees of high standing.

The candidate should also have experience teaching writing, research methods and/or analytic skills to traditional and non-traditional undergraduate university students who may have faced barriers to access university education due to race, indigeneity, class, gender, sexual orientation, ability and/or migrant/refugee identifications and histories. For these reasons, we request evidence of engagement in the scholarship of teaching, learning, and pedagogy related to development of writing and other skills across the curriculum. Candidates are expected to show evidence of a commitment to equity, diversity, inclusion, and the promotion of a respectful and collegial learning and working environment that is demonstrated through the application materials.

Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.

The Faculty of Arts and Science at the University of Toronto (St. George Campus) has both a collegiate and departmental structure. University College is the founding college of the University and has a long-standing commitment to supporting its diverse body of around 5500 undergraduate students so that they can excel intellectually, while also engaging in the wider world. Canadian Studies is an interdisciplinary undergraduate program, which includes a minor in Asian Canadian Studies as well as hosting a Certificate in Black Canadian Studies. In addition to Canadian Studies, University College sponsors two other innovative undergraduate programs – Cognitive Science and Health Studies – and is affiliated with the Centre for Drama, Theatre and Performance Studies, and the Mark S. Bonham Centre for Sexual Diversity Studies. For more information about the Canadian Studies Program, see https://www.uc.utoronto.ca/canadianstudies.

The Transitional Year Programme is a full-time, eight-month access-to-University program intended for adults who do not have the formal qualifications for university admission. It is meant for those who did not have an opportunity to finish high school because of financial problems, family difficulties or other circumstances beyond their control. The Program actively encourages applications from members of the Indigenous, Black and LGBTQ communities, sole-support parents, persons with disabilities, neurodiversity, and individuals from working-class backgrounds of all ethnicities. Admitting about 50 students each year, TYP provides each student with academic advising, access to social work and counselling support, need-based bursaries, and space to work, socialize, and be with other students in their program. For more information about the Transitional Year Program, see http://typ.utoronto.ca/.

Campus: St. George (Downtown Toronto)

Description:

Course number and title: CIN376Y1Y – Chinese Cinemas

Course description: This course examines Chinese films in their main three production centres: Hong Kong, The People’s Republic of China and Taiwan. Chinese cinemas share common historical ground, the mainland industry of the 1930s, chiefly in Shanghai. After the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese war with Japan in 1937, the Chinese industry fragmented. Following the Maoist triumph in establishing the People’s Republic, in 1949, the mainland industry assumed a socialist form under state control. The Hong Kong industry took a dynamically commercial form and successfully served the Chinese diaspora as well as the local audience. The Taiwanese industry, while likewise commercial, was also under state control. Three separate cinemas resulted and grew distinct from one another. The process of division only began to reverse in the new century when co-productions and transnational financing grew in importance.

We are seeking to appoint a Lecturer who will join us in building our dynamic new undergraduate programme in Creative Arts and Industries. We encourage applicants dedicated to the study of any practice that fits this classification, but the ideal candidate will bring research and teaching expertise that seeks to traverse typical disciplinary boundaries. In particular, we welcome interest from scholars and practitioners working within Global Majority contexts, popular music, or other areas that extend, rather than replicate, current staff specialisms in film, the visual arts and cultural policy.

Launched in 2022, our Creative Arts and Industries undergraduate programme draws strength from its position within the School of Culture & Creative Arts, including through participation from Theatre Studies, Music, History of Art, Film and Television Studies and the Centre for Cultural Policy Research. This robust and vibrant context affords scope for contributing to the School’s various PGT and PGR ventures and research initiatives. We aim for an inclusive, diverse and equitable learning environment for all staff and students. Our teaching is research-led and incorporates a varied range of assignments, collaborative and individual, that imaginatively looks beyond typical essay briefs.
