AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

The Film & Media Studies Program in the Art History & Visual Arts Department
at Occidental College invites applications for

a visiting scholar for a 1-year full-time, terminal appointment. Candidates
must demonstrate a personal research emphasis in transnational/global media
and/or American media through a race/ethnic studies perspective.

The position entails teaching five courses including *Aesthetics of Cinema*,
*Topics in International Cinema*, and *Topics in American Cinema*, mentoring
3-4 critical thesis projects, and programming with students a semester of
the Oxy Cinematheque Screening Series around questions of “diversity and
representation.”

Occidental’s Film & Media program integrates theory and practice, and the
ability to engage both is particularly desirable, but a Ph.D. in hand and
demonstrated critical studies teaching experience is paramount. More
