The Department of Visual and Performing Arts at Stonehill College seeks applications to teach a single section of VPH181-Global Visual Traditions. The course is designed as a survey of multiple art traditions that introduces students to art-historical research and writing. The exact perspective of the class is flexible in that instructors can design the class around their expertise and interests as long as it provides a broad overview of artistic production and contextualizes it against other traditions (Western and/or non-Western). The class schedule can also be flexible but is generally two 1.25 hr. sessions or one 2.5-hour session per week for the duration of the fall semester.

A Ph.D. in a relevant field and demonstrated teaching experience. Software mastery of Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop and experience teaching at the undergraduate level are preferred.
