[Linganth] Instructor Needed for Introductory Undergraduate Courses in Linguistic Anthropology, Fall 2022 - Sonoma State University

[Richard J. Senghas]

The Department of Anthropology at Sonoma State University seeks an instructor to teach ANTH 200 Introduction to the Study of Language, an undergraduate course in linguistic anthropology for the Fall 2022 semester, beginning 22 August.  

The course is currently scheduled to be taught Mondays and Wednesdays, 9:30-10:45AM.  At this point, we are considering offering the course remotely, but still live at the scheduled time (i.e., not asynchronously), although preference may be given to an instructor is willing to teach in-person at SSU’s campus (a California State University) in Rohnert Park, CA, 36 miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge in the North Bay Area of Northern California.  

ANTH 200 is a lower-division, general education course with an enrollment of 50.  This introduction to the anthropological study of language surveys core topics in linguistics (e.g., phonetics, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics) and the relationship of language to social, cultural, and psychological factors. Nonverbal communication, evolution of language abilities, and historical linguistics are included, with linkages to the other subfields of anthropology. Satisfies GE Area C2 (Literature, Philosophy, Languages).  

Applicants must be able to introduce formal linguistics (phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics) as well as pragmatics with an anthropological focus.  PhD. preferred, but ABD candidates may be considered, depending on experience, and are encouraged to apply.  

Applicants should send a current curriculum vitae and a cover letter highlighting relevant teaching experience to anthro at sonoma.edu <mailto:anthro at sonoma.edu>.  All questions may also be directed to that same address.  For more information about our department and its programs, please see our website <http://anthropology.sonoma.edu/>.
