The Religious Studies Program at Calumet College of St. Joseph (www.ccsj.edu) is looking for an adjunct instructor for one or two sections of our core course, Social Justice, for Fall 2015. Please see below for further information.
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
RLST 110. Social Justice--In this course, students will explore and analyze social justice issues, and then suggest positive action for social change. The foundation is experiential service-learning in dialogue with Scripture, Catholic Social Teaching, and great thinkers of the twentieth century who engage religion and social justice. College-level skills are emphasized. The Signature oral exam and writing assignment are requirements of this course. This course must be taken in the student's first semester at the College.
SCHEDULE:
M/W 8:30am to 10am and/or 10:15 to 11:45 am. August 31st until December 12th. Faculty meetings Aug. 17, 18.
QUALIFICATIONS:
M.A. (minimum); ABD or PhD (preferred)
COMPENSATION:
Master's and 0-5 years teaching experience: $2120 for one section
PhD and 0-5 years teaching experience: $2400 for one section
*Since this is part of CCSJ's Learning Community Program, you will receive an additional $400 upon completing the evaluation and grading of the signature assignments at the completion of the semester.
OTHER INFO:
This course is part of a CCSJ "Learning Community" for Freshman. This means it is connected to an English course and a Humanities course, all three of which students attend consecutively on M/W. This means that the adjunct's ongoing communication with fellow faculty members in English and Humanities is required. In addition, there will be one or two shared assignments among all of the classes in the Learning Community. There is one shared text, Pope Francis' recent encyclical, "Laudato Si", although course-specific additional readings are required.
