Please be aware that all applications in this pool ad will only be good for the current academic year. You will need to reapply to the next year pool to be considered for the following academic year.

Salary is commensurate with credential and experience. Seeking lecturers to teach courses in linguistics with a focus on language, culture, and identity, primarily through the lens of linguistic anthropology. These courses are offered on a rotating basis. Course descriptions follow:

LING 341 – Language Issues in the United States. This course introduces students to a number of issues surrounding language use in the United States today, including bilingual education, bilingualism, English-only legislation, endangered languages, Ebonics, and hate speech. Each issue will be considered in its historical context and in terms of its effect on the school-age population of the United States. Class discussion, rather than lecture, will be the main venue for this exploration, and each section will involve a project considering the issue in its current, real-world context.

LING 371 – Linguistic Anthropology. This course explores the way language shapes and is shaped by culture. Investigates different aspects of language structures, which exhibit cultural variation, patterns of cognition and language acquisition, and the socio-linguistic dimensions of cultural variation. Highlights dialect variation, Ebonics, bilingualism, and considers them in light of concepts such as speech communities, language ideology, and performativity.

LING 381 – Language and Gender. Gender roles are dynamic, yet culturally bound. They are determined as a group, yet performed by individuals. These roles are products of historical, sociological, geographic, economic, and linguistic phenomena. All of these contribute to the development of a culture, and all are encoded and reflected in the language used. Students will discover how these phenomena work together in the social contexts of various cultures, with a particular focus on the role language plays in creating and reporting gender roles.
