Job Description:

The Slavic Department at Barnard College seeks a part-time instructor to teach the following two undergraduate courses during the 2026-2027 academic year.

Spring 2027:

RUSS3221UN Literature & Revolution (20th cent. lit.) 

The revolutionary period (1905-1938) in Russia was not only one of extreme social upheaval but also of exceptional creativity. Established ideas about individuality and collectivity, about how to depict reality, about language, gender, authority, and violence, were all thrown open to radical questioning. Out of this chaos came ideas about literature and film (just for example) which have shaped Western thought on these subjects to this day. In this course we will study a variety of media and genres (poetry, manifestos, film, painting, photomontage, the novel, theoretical essays) in an effort to gain a deep understanding of this complex and fascinating period in Russian cultural history.

Pay Rate:  $14,000

Spring 2027:

One three-point course in Slavic literature and culture; of special interest are courses that include multiple regions of the Slavic world as well as courses incorporating film and media studies. 

Pay Rate:  $14,000

Exact instructional assignments and other academic responsibilities are determined by the Chair or Director.
