About James Madison University
Mission
We are a community committed to preparing students to be educated
and enlightened citizens who lead productive and meaningful
lives.
Vision
To be the national model for the engaged university: engaged with
ideas and the world.
Who We Are
Located in the heart of Virginia's beautiful Shenandoah Valley, the
city of Harrisonburg is approximately 120 miles from Washington,
D.C. and Richmond, VA. With a population of just over 53,000,
Harrisonburg is one of the most diverse communities in the
Commonwealth of Virginia. JMU is a selective, public institution
with a growing national reputation for offering experiences that
lead to an outstanding education and inclusive environment for
students, faculty and staff. The student body includes
approximately 20,000 undergraduate and 1,900 graduate students,
with over 1,000 full-time instructional faculty.
JMU offers thriving programs in the liberal arts, science and
technology, and professional disciplines at the undergraduate,
master's and doctoral levels. The university is committed to
expanding diversity, fostering equity and inclusion, and supporting
superlative teaching and scholarship. JMU has achieved national
recognition for the high quality of its academic programs, focus on
maintaining strong student/faculty interaction, and innovative
faculty research.
General Information
The College of Visual and Performing Arts (CVPA) at James Madison
University (JMU) invites applications for a cohort hire comprising
eleven positions:
These positions constitute an integrative arts cohort hire. We
conceive of integrative arts as combining artistic and/or
disciplinary perspectives and/or practices around contemporary
issues. This may include-but is not limited to-cross- inter-,
multi-, and/or trans-disciplinary work. Our cohort will collaborate
to develop courses, curricula, and research agendas that promote
integrative arts and design practices and advance justice, equity,
diversity, inclusion, and access (viewed through lenses that may
include, but are not limited to culture, disability, ethnicity,
gender, race, religion, sexuality, and/or veteran status). These
individuals will complement and expand CVPA strengths in
anti-bias/anti-racist pedagogy, artmaking, arts and technology,
community engagement, culturally-sustaining practice, design
justice, design thinking, educator preparation, entrepreneurial
thinking, and design- or arts-based research.
Cohort members will have primary appointments in one of the
college's three academic units (i.e., Art, Design, and Art History;
Music; Theatre and Dance) most aligned with their disciplinary
focus. Their work will be supported with a biennial course release
to collaborate with cohort colleagues and interested current
faculty members to develop integrative arts courses that enroll
students within and beyond their academic unit.
With over 100 full-time faculty and 1,200 full-time majors, CVPA
brings together Schools of Art, Design, and Art History (SADAH);
Music (SOM); and Theatre and Dance (STAD). CVPA also houses the
Office of Creative Propulsion, which supports students and faculty
in ideating, launching, and refining arts- and/or design-based
efforts that reimagine and disrupt traditional practices, stretch
and break artistic boundaries, and promote more equitable and
inclusive opportunities for meaningful arts/design engagement. CVPA
believes that equity, access, and inclusion are moral imperatives
and artistic obligations. Diversity-in the stories we represent,
students we serve, and audiences we engage-is vital for the health
and relevance of contemporary arts and design practice. CVPA,
therefore, welcomes diversity of perspective, ethnicity, race,
religion, socio-economic status, gender identity, sexual
orientation and ability. Across its units, CVPA is committed to
empowering students to act boldly, justly, and inclusively to
create their own unique path.
Duties and Responsibilities
Teaching responsibilities could include introductory,
upper-division undergraduate, studio, laboratory, and graduate
instruction. Preference will be given to applicants who demonstrate
an ability to develop and teach one or more integrative arts
courses for undergraduate students, and/or engage with
undergraduate or graduate student researchers. Successful
candidates are expected to initiate and maintain an active research
program that is appropriate to their discipline. Collaboration with
other cohort members and/or faculty beyond CVPA is expected.
Qualifications
Applicants will have a terminal degree in a relevant discipline,
and the potential for vibrant, collaborative teaching and
scholarship at our primarily undergraduate institution.
Consideration may be given to ABDs at the advanced dissertation
stage who exhibit particularly compelling records. Unless otherwise
indicated in the position-specific required qualifications for each
position, applicants with extensive professional experience in lieu
of a relevant terminal degree may be considered, with the
expectation that any successful candidate not holding a terminal
degree must complete a relevant terminal degree prior to achieving
tenure.
