Lecturer - Disability Studies - College of Letters and Science

The Disability Studies program at the University of California, Berkeley invites applications for a pool of qualified instructors to teach Disability Studies (DISSTD) courses should an opening arise. The Disability Studies minor centers the knowledge and experience of disabled people, studying cultural and artistic productions, public laws and policies, professional practices, and everyday life with an emphasis on disability as a social situation and a political process. Our approach is interdisciplinary, aiming to integrate the study of disability into academic fields across the campus; it is intersectional; and it makes and draws on long-standing connections between scholarship and activism, locally and globally.
General Duties: In addition to teaching responsibilities, general duties include holding office hours, assigning grades, preparing course materials (e.g., syllabus), and using Cal’s electronic resources for course management and may include supervising teaching assistants and course graders.
Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States at the time of hire. Visa sponsorship is not available for this position.
