Visual Culture Caucus
The Visual Culture Caucus works to support the critical investigation of visual materials at the American Studies meetings and to provide a network for scholars working in visual studies from diverse disciplinary homes. Its members include teachers, museum curators, librarians, and others who research a variety of visual forms and media, such as painting, photography, sculpture, film, television, advertisements, cartoons, visual ethnographies, and the Internet. The VC Caucus works closely with the national organizing committees and councils of the ASA, organizes and sponsors sessions, conducts business, and co-hosts a reception at the ASA’s annual meeting.
Through this discussion board, the Caucus acts as a clearinghouse for people teaching and doing research in visual culture and those seeking to broaden their community or to gain the advice of other scholars and teachers. We are particularly devoted to the mentoring of emerging scholars, and encourage graduate students to participate in this forum, organize sessions through the caucus and attend our meetings.

A Great American Thing: A Symposium in Honor of Wanda Corn
November 13 and 14, 2009
Please join us for a weekend celebrating Wanda Corn, the Robert and Ruth Halperin Professor Emerita in Art History. During her nearly thirty-year tenure at Stanford, Professor Corn not only reshaped the field of American art history but served a term as Director of the Stanford Humanities Center and another as Acting Director of the Stanford Museum (now called the Cantor Arts Center). This free, two-day symposium, led by friends and the many art historians she trained, honors her scholarship, her pedagogy and her countless contributions to both art history and the university.

Assistant Professor of Visual Culture Studies
Assistant Professor of Visual Culture Studies
Parsons The New School for Design is seeking qualified applicants with
professional and/or academic backgrounds for Assistant Professor of
Visual Culture Studies, a tenure-track faculty position in the School of
Art and Design History and Theory at Parsons.
Candidates are sought whose scholarship is in the history and theory of
visual and design culture and addresses issues of gender, race and
identity. Candidates must be innovative in their pedagogical approaches
to activate students’ interest in the relationship between theory and
practice, and be forward-thinking about methodologies appropriate to
complex and diverse 21st century global conditions. They must also be
prepared to teach students from a variety of disciplines across Parsons
and The New School. The successful candidate will have an earned Ph.D.
that addresses issues of gender, race, or identity, strength in
teaching, research, and scholarship, and demonstrate potential to build
a strong record of publications.
The School of Art and Design History and Theory offers courses to all
Parsons undergraduate and graduate students, and to students in other
divisions of The New School. It also offers two graduate degrees: MA in
History of Decorative Arts and Design (in collaboration with the Cooper
Hewitt National Design Museum) and MA in Fashion Studies (from fall
2010).
Full descriptions/requirements of this and other faculty positions are
available at http://careers.newschool.edu. Candidates should submit an
online application, including a cover letter and curriculum vita, at
http://careers.newschool.edu. Review of applications begins in November.
PARSONS DIVERSITY STATEMENT
Parsons The New School for Design, a division of The New School, values
diversity among our students, faculty and staff, who are a reflection of
the communities where we live, work, create, design and participate.
Diversity serves as a core value of our institution which we identify as
a critical element for achieving academic excellence. We believe that
strategic actions toward achieving diversity goals both individual and
collective, will facilitate a meaningful and sustainable impact
throughout The New School community and more broadly, effect social
change in art and design education. Recognizing that our ability to
grasp the historical, political and social contexts from which we work
is vital to fully embracing diversity, we seek the contributions of
people who are members of groups that are underrepresented in higher
education in the US and particularly in art and design.
