Tufts University Experimental College

The Experimental College of Tufts University in Medford, MA is seeking part-time instructors during the Spring 2015 semester. Applicants are asked to design and then – if selected – teach small, discussion-based courses that promote active learning and that engage Tufts undergraduates in an exploration of ideas and experiences shaping the world today. While the majority of our courses are taught in a classroom setting at the Tufts Medford campus, proposals for online courses will also be given serious consideration.Classes that offer critical, and quite often, interdisciplinary contexts form the core of the Experimental College’s curriculum. Our mission is to challenge an already motivated set of students and get them thinking in new ways about such important subjects areas as cultural studies, technology,current affairs, race and gender, the law, media, world religions, environmental concerns, business, healthcare, and ethics. Twenty courses will be chosen from a very competitive pool. The semester begins Tuesday, September 8, 2015, and runs through Friday, December 11, 2015. Classes meet in the evening, once or twice a week, for a total of 2.5 contact hours per week, over what comes out to thirteen teaching weeks.
