Rhode Island School of Design, Assistant or Associate Professor, Global Indigenous Worlds (Department of Theory and History of Art and Design)[]
The Department of Theory and History of Art and Design in the Division of Liberal Arts, Rhode Island School of Design, invites applications for a full-time faculty appointment in Arts of Global Indigenous Worlds at the rank of Assistant/Associate Professor, to commence fall 2023. Rank will be dependent on professional status and teaching experience. RISD recognizes diversity and inclusion as fundamental to its learning community and integral to an art and design education. We welcome candidates whose areas of expertise foreground works and bodies of knowledge from historically underrepresented communities and whose experience in teaching, scholarship, professional practice, and/or service has prepared them to contribute to our commitment to diversity and excellence. We encourage applicants from communities that are underrepresented in the academy: Indigenous peoples, Native American peoples, Black and peoples of color, women, LGBTQIA+, veterans, and people with disabilities.
We are seeking a teacher-scholar whose work shows critical understanding of aesthetic and material production in and between Indigenous worlds. The position has specially been framed to situate the art of Indigenous worlds as a challenge to the idea of Europe as the primary cultural and epistemological domain of global aesthetic production in history. We are looking for candidates whose work challenges established models of art history—what constitutes art, what counts as historical research and evidence, etc.—and who can contribute to the department’s goals of challenging Eurocentric and modernist histories of art. Successful candidates will be required to teach six courses per academic year, including participation in our first-year introductory courses, H101 (Global Modernisms) and H102 (Critical Introduction to History of Architecture and Design), which are required of all incoming RISD students. Being able to contribute to the ongoing process of reimagining the undergraduate survey course with new and exciting lectures and topics is an essential requirement of the position. Other teaching responsibilities will include undergraduate and graduate elective courses, including lectures and seminars. These courses contribute to students’ general education requirements at RISD and to requirements for the undergraduate concentration in Theory and History of Art and Design, which students can elect. Additionally, the Division of Liberal Arts houses two interdisciplinary Masters programs: Global Arts and Cultures (GAC) and Nature-Culture-Sustainability Studies (NCSS). Depending on Departmental and programmatic needs, colleagues would have the opportunity to teach required MA courses, design graduate electives for the MA degrees, and advise MA theses, participate in programs’ evolution.
