Join the NMS Teaching Academy

Please Note:

New Millennium Studies instructors are required to be active adjunct or full-time faculty or staff in another department or office at Columbia College Chicago. New Millennium Studies is not currently seeking adjunct faculty whose role at Columbia would be limited to teaching New Millennium Studies.

Eligible Columbia College faculty and staff who are interested in joining the NMS Teaching Academy are welcome to nominate themselves via the forms below and at right.

About the Teaching Academy

The Academy is the forum through which NMS instructors are provided with the support necessary to ensure success in teaching the seminar. Participation in the Teaching Academy is a prerequisite for teaching New Millennium Studies because the new course seeks to create a community of faculty members as well as one of students. Members of the Teaching Academy bring experience, continuity, vision, and leadership to the Seminar (and, by extension, to the LAS Core Curriculum).

New Teaching Academy Fellows generally join the Academy during the spring semester and teach New Millennium Studies the following fall or spring (or both). Much of the Academy's work is undertaken in small colloquia that meet four times over the course of the spring semester; two full Academy meetings also occur each semester, and there is a two-day, late-summer Teaching Academy retreat.

In recognition of the commitment and dedication required of the Teaching Academy, Fellows are provided with a modest stipend.

A Self-Nomination Form for interested faculty is available as both a Word document and as a PDF form. Completed forms may be submitted by email.
