anthropological linguistics.
This visiting appointment emphasizes high-quality instruction,

intellectual life of the department and the broader university during
the term of the appointment.
The Visiting Lecturer will teach four courses during the academic
year, including two graduate-level seminars and two undergraduate
courses in linguistic anthropology. Courses that align particularly
well with departmental needs include, but are not limited to, graduate
seminars on Field Methods in Studies of Language and Culture; Language
Revitalization; and Multilingualism, and undergraduate courses on
Language and Technology; Language, Migration, and Globalization; and
Language, Ethnicity, and Nationalism.
Additional responsibilities include developing and updating course
materials; supervising undergraduate research projects and honors
theses, as appropriate; and advising and mentoring students from
diverse academic and cultural backgrounds during the period of
appointment.

Applicants must demonstrate an active research agenda in linguistic
anthropology. Research interests may include, but are not limited to,
language and social interaction; language ideologies; multilingualism;
language and power; race, gender, inequality; or language in
institutional, digital, or transnational contexts.
Scholarly work may be ethnographic, theoretical, applied, or
collaborative in orientation and may include peer-reviewed
publications, conference presentations, public-facing scholarship,
digital or archival projects, and contributions to language
documentation, revitalization, or related initiatives. The Visiting
Lecturer is encouraged to integrate research and teaching through
course design and student engagement, as appropriate for a visiting
appointment.
