FYI,  see below from our colleagues at Tufts…


We're looking for someone to teach a Geography/STS course at Tufts this Spring.  Here is the ad:  https://apply.interfolio.com/69621

===============================

Part-time Lecturer: Introduction to the Theory and Technology of Maps
Tufts University: School of Arts & Sciences: Science, Technology, and Society

The Science, Technology, and Society (STS) program at Tufts University
seeks a Part-Time Lecturer to teach one Geography/STS course in Spring
2020. The course should include an introduction to GIS and
cartography, but should also teach broader principles in the field of
human geography, including space and place, scale, territory,
community, and the built environment. The course syllabus should
feature social science readings about the role of technology in
mediating people’s relationship to space and should engage with
theoretical work on mapping from the STS and/or critical GIS
literature. Connections with other fields such as design and planning,
urban sociology, American studies, and ethnic studies are welcome. The
course will be open to students from across the university with no
prerequisites. In addition to teaching this course, there will be
opportunities to participate in other STS programming at Tufts, such
as the STS Lunch Seminar and Reading Labs.

The Science, Technology and Society program at Tufts has more than 40
faculty affiliates across the university, from departments such as
anthropology, history, mathematics, computer science, political
science, philosophy, urban and environmental policy and planning, and
many more. The program offers courses that draw on techniques and
texts from the humanities and social sciences to study science and
technology in their social context as well as courses that teach
critically engaged modeling practices. STS offers a major and a minor
for undergraduates.  Qualifications

Doctoral degree completed or in progress is preferred.  Candidates
with a master’s degree and significant teaching experience are also
encouraged to apply.
