Job description
DutiesNEW106H1F & NEW116H1S are two of ten small interdisciplinary seminars comprising the first-year foundational program, New One: Learning without Borders. The courses reflect the program’s defining theme, “learning without borders,” by exploring a locally relevant issue through a transnational lens, building students’ capacities as critically reflective learners, emphasizing creative pedagogy and interdisciplinarity, engaging the perspectives of community members and senior students; and fostering student development overall. NEW106H1F: How can scientific knowledge and research be mobilized to impact individual and global health? How is health impacted by social, racial and economic inequalities? This course explores scientific research and practice with special attention to the translation of scientific knowledge in the public sphere, and its ability to inform policies, practices and laws. Students have the opportunity to meet with clinician-scientists, policy-makers, and other professionals connected to the health care system. NEW116H1S: What is the role of science in addressing current global threats? What are the possibilities and the limitations of scientific research and knowledge in tackling complex problems such as climate change, pandemics and pollution? In this course, students explore these questions by examining case studies, meeting with specialists in various scientific fields, and engaging in research on a topic of their own choice. New One courses meet for 3 hours each week. A portion of those sessions will occasionally be allocated to “Learning Labs.” All students in the program come together in these Learning Labs to engage in joint activities and explore issues that are common to the four topics. Both in seminars and Learning Labs, students will experience a variety of ways of learning (through, for example, guest lectures, group work, workshops, field trips to local community organizations, and panels of senior students sharing their experience and insights). Duties 1. Planning and teaching the seminar course, grading and giving feedback on assignments, providing office hours for academic counseling of students 2. Liaising with the program coordinator and other New One instructors to coordinate and design assignments, plan plenary sessions and evaluate the program. 3. Incorporating guest speakers and field trips into the course with administrative support from the program coordinator and assistant. 4. Participating in and occasionally leading the activities of the plenary sessions. Minimum Qualifications A completed or in-progress Ph.D (or equivalent) with a scholarly background in areas related to the specific course. Teaching experience at the university level and a demonstrated familiarity with related social justice issues is required. Preferred Qualifications Evidence teaching first-year students in foundation programs. Evidence of an interdisciplinary approach in scholarship as well as community engagement in areas related to the specific course is an asset. Relevant CriterionPast teaching experience is the more relevant criterion than the need to acquire experience in respect of this posted position.
