NYU Washington, DC (DC) - Adjunct Professor
 New York University is seeking a local adjunct instructor to teach "Expressive Culture: Film" (description below) at our study away center in Washington, DC  for Spring 2016.



Our courses  for upperclassmen---such as this one--- meet for 3 hours once per week for 14 instructional weeks plus a 15th "final exam week" for any final test or paper (one variation for a film course could be to hold the class in a 4-hour format to screen the movies during class time). Class sessions are scheduled in the morning, afternoon, or evening on each weekday except Fridays. Class sizes are small (usually 6–20 students, and Core classes are usually capped at 20). The complete  Spring 2016 NYU DCcalendar is online.



All adjunct faculty are expected to have a Ph.D. or terminal degree in the area of their teaching and must be approved by the appropriate academic unit at NYU. In some instances, significant professional expertise and experience in a relevant field may be suitable. The salary will be based on equivalent and appropriate adjunct faculty rates for the course. The lecturing role includes all preparation, delivery, and marking. Some administrative assistance is available to support the preparation of course materials. Courses are to be intellectually challenging in content, and rigorous student assessment is required.



 If you are interested in applying, please send a CV and a letter of interest to the Site Director, Michael Ulrich ( [mailto:michael.ulrich@nyu.edu michael.ulrich@nyu.edu] ), and the Academic Program Coordinator, Mark Nakamoto ( [mailto:mark.nakamoto@nyu.edu mark.nakamoto@nyu.edu] ). In the letter, please highlight any relevant experience you have in teaching and/or research relevant for this course. If you have questions about the position or course, please let us know.

Course description: Expressive Culture: Film CORE-UA 9750 Film and American Politics: Introduces students to the formal study of film while exploring the changing popular vision of American politics that is seen in films about Washington, D.C. From the populism of the Depression era films of Frank Capra to post-WWII paranoia, the cynical films of the post-Watergate era and more recent depictions of media-constructed realities, we explore the ways film reflects and shapes our understanding of contemporary and historical American political culture. At the same time, students learn how filmmakers create meaning through the building blocks of editing and cinematography and the manipulation of audience expectations of genres, stars, and “Hollywood endings.”
