The Department is part of Wesleyan’s College of Film and the Moving Image. Our curriculum unifies media studies with production in a liberal-arts setting and emphasizes audience-centered artistic practice. Strong consideration will be given to the teaching records of candidates and the willingness to participate in the ongoing curricular growth, diversification and decolonization of our program. Teaching load is two courses per semester at introductory and specialized levels. Candidates are also expected to contribute to the department curriculum. Additional duties include advising and mentoring students, carrying on a program of research or creative production, and participating in faculty governance at the departmental and university level. |
