FYI, see posting below. I do some teaching for IHP in its climate program when the students come to SF each semester, and can attest to the quality of the program, including very passionate and smart students, and dedicated faculty. Would be a great gig for someone who can travel. wil

The International Honors Program of the School for International Training is currently recruiting Traveling Faculty for our IHP Climate Change: The Politics of Food, Water, and Energy<http://studyabroad.sit.edu/programs/semester/fall-2018/ccc/> for either or both Fall 2018 & Spring 2019. We are an academically rigorous, multi-country study abroad program for undergraduates from across U.S. colleges and universities. [Job posting / application instructions can be found here https://goo.gl/F22sgH] --> Deadline: March 1, 2018, or until filled. Program Description: Our program launches and the curriculum begins in San Francisco / Bay Area for two weeks. We then visit key sites in Vietnam, Morocco, and Bolivia to learn about the complexities of climate change through the lens of environmental justice across diverse political-economic and socio-ecological contexts. Our conceptual approach is rooted in critical theories of political economy, political ecology, and environmental history, which frames how we learn about the nexus of food, water, and energy. Themes include (among other things): the socially differentiated impacts of climate change and its causes in historical perspectives; the social production of vulnerability and marginalization; the science-policy interface, social construction of nature, and the politics of environmental knowledge; power relations in mitigation and adaptation policy efforts; and the roles of government, business, non-profits, social movements, and individuals in response to climate change. In addition to the Traveling Faculty’s courses, students learn from and engage with in-country academics and professionals including scholars and researchers; journalists, public servants, policy makers and policy analysts; civil society actors such as NGO managers, union members, and social movements leaders; and homestay families. A significant component of the learning experience entails excursions to sites of food, water, and energy production/management. Specific Responsibilities: Traveling faculty will teach two semester-long academic courses (see HERE<https://studyabroad.sit.edu/programs/semester/fall-2018/ccc/> for previous syllabi): 1) Political Economy and Environmental History 2) Fieldwork Ethics and Comparative Research Methods In addition to teaching two academic courses, traveling faculty are expected to fully participate in most aspects of the study abroad program schedule. This includes participation on site visits/excursions; attendance during local guest speakers/lectures; facilitation of guided reflection and synthesis sessions; support and communication with students both in and outside of the classroom; and close collaboration with the Trustees Fellow (the other traveling staff member primarily responsible for ongoing non-academic student support). The traveling faculty is not responsible for planning and executing country program schedules and logistics, as we have experienced in-country coordinators who play this role, but traveling faculty do provide input into the planning process for each country program. Required Qualifications: · The ideal candidates should have the following: · A Ph.D. (ABD considered) in fields related to environmental studies, development studies, and political ecology such as political economy, environmental history, sociology, anthropology, geography, political science, or other related field. · Experience teaching at the college level; · Commitment to experiential learning, including non-didactic methods that promote critical thinking and field-based research, discussion, and self-reflection; · Experience living and working abroad (preferred); · Research and/or practical experience related to environmental or development studies; · The physical stamina, emotional maturity, and mental health needed to lead an intensive, team-oriented study abroad program that covers four countries in four months; · The ability and desire to support and communicate with students throughout the study abroad experience both in and outside of the classroom. --> Deadline: March 1, 2018, or until filled.
