JOB: Per course instructor, University of Rhode Island

Due to increasing enrollment in our Kinesiology major, the University of Rhode
Island is seeking a per course instructor to teach one section of Kinesiology
278: Cultural Diversity, Physical Activity, and Society in Spring, 2010
(approximately 40 students).

In the Course Catalog, Kinesiology 278 (KIN 278) is described as “an
introduction to the multiple ways issues of cultural diversity shape physical
activity in American society” and is a required class for Kinesiology majors
who are mainly interested in pursuing careers in Physical Education, Physical
Therapy, and the Health Care and Fitness industries.  For most Kinesiology
students, KIN 278 will be the only sociology course they will take in college
and their sole mandate to examine physical activity and sport from a critical
sociological point of view.

At a minimum, this person must have earned a Master’s degree in Kinesiology or
Sociology and have taken at least one sociology of sport class.  But,
preference will be given to someone having earned a Ph.D from, or currently be
a Ph.D candidate in, a sociology of sport program.

Compensation for this one class is $3,200.

If interested in this lecturer position, please contact Dr. Kyle Kusz at
kkusz@mail.uri.edu.

Please enclose your current curriculum vita (with teaching experiences
included) in your email response.
