Lecturer in Writing

Lecturer in Writing The College of Arts
& Sciences Writing Program at Boston
University expects to hire multiple full-time
non-tenure-track Lecturers in Writing to begin in the fall of 2022.
Together, these lecturers will form a cohort of faculty teaching
topic-based writing classes on themes of social, racial, and/or
environmental justice. New hires will join colleagues actively
working across disciplines to develop innovative and responsive
pedagogy and initiatives that reflect the Writing Program's core
values of equity, diversity, and inclusion.
At least one of the positions in this cohort will be dedicated
primarily to teaching courses that specifically serve students for
whom English is a second or other language. Applicants who wish to
be considered for the multilingual writing position should make
their experience and credentials in ESL/ELL/TESOL clear. Successful
applicants for this position will be familiar with current
scholarship in second language writing, intercultural rhetoric,
global Englishes, or other related fields.
For all of the positions, we seek applications from candidates
who have significant experience teaching writing and serving
students or communities of underrepresented and minoritized groups,
who can demonstrate success in equity-oriented pedagogy, and who
show potential to advance the program's diversity efforts. The
program is especially interested in candidates whose teaching of
writing draws upon anti-racist and global frameworks from diverse
disciplines and critical approaches, including race and ethnicity
and their intersections with environmental justice, gender, and
sexuality. All applicants should be committed to teaching writing
in ways that equitably serve BU's many multilingual students. We
strongly encourage candidates from historically marginalized groups
to apply.
The Writing Program is an independent instructional unit with
more than fifty full-time unionized Lecturers. We offer a
two-semester sequence of theme-based writing seminars through which
most BU undergraduates satisfy their writing requirements, and we
prepare international undergraduate students for writing in their
college classes through an additional two-course sequence for
multilingual writers. More information about the Arts &
Sciences Writing Program is available at http://www.bu.edu/writingprogram/ and
at https://www.bu.edu/teaching-writing/
Responsibilities include teaching three theme-based first-year
writing seminars (16-18 students each) or three sections of our
classes for multilingual writers (15 students each) per semester,
as well as participating in program service and professional
development activities. BU offers a rich range of resources for
professional development and course enhancement. The initial term
of appointment is two years, with the possibility of renewal and
promotion.
