The successful candidate will demonstrate a record of effective teaching and

commitment to diversity, proven leadership with the ability to interact within
multicultural groups are essential. Experience and skill in identifying and
writing applications for grants, and developing collaborative internal and

The Ohio State American Sign Language (ASL) Program seeks to create a
challenging and safe learning environment that develops student communication
skills using ASL and fosters positive relationships among our students and
instructors. Our program also promotes an understanding about the history of
and current issues within the American d/Deaf community to honor and celebrate
diversity and authenticity.

The ASL Program offers ASL 1101, 1102, and 1103 series as a general education
foreign language option. Recently, our course offerings have expanded to
include ASL Conversational Discourse (ASL 2104), American Deaf Arts and
Literature (ASL 3350), and The Intersection of American Sign Language, Deaf
Culture, and the Deaf Community service-learning course (ASL 4189S). These and
some additional courses will be core components of the ASL Studies Minor that

vital contributor within the field of ASL Studies. We offer the Visiting
Assistant Professor a dynamic academic environment to implement and excel in
leadership, teaching, curriculum development and assessment, and
interdisciplinary studies/research.
