Visiting Faculty Fellow
Position Description
Barrett, The Honors College at Arizona State University invites applications for a 1 year Visiting Faculty Fellow position. The primary responsibility of the Visiting Faculty Fellow will be to teach a rigorous two-semester interdisciplinary seminar –The Human Event. In this seminar series, students examine primary materials that reflect a breadth of intellectual traditions from earliest writings to the present. This discussion-based class requires students' active participation and focuses on developing their skills in critical thinking and argumentative writing. Faculty are encouraged to lead discussions and mentor students in innovative ways that enrich their honors experience. Senior Barrett faculty will provide individual peer mentorship to assist in the development of teaching and professional skills.
Barrett provides an enriching and challenging academic experience that attracts many of the top students in the country, preparing them to become leaders in their communities and better citizens of the world. Incoming Barrett students have an average unweighted GPA of 3.81 and are often in the top ten percent of their high school classes. Our student body reflects different perspectives and experiences, comprising 45% of students from underrepresented communities both in the U.S. and internationally, and 12% first-generation, and representing all majors across the University.
