coe-staff: CHC Call for Affiliated Faculty Proposals

[Randy Kamphaus]

Dear Faculty,

Please see the call for proposals for teaching in the Clark Honors College. As is always the case with faculty teaching load planning, please consult with your academic department head before making application for this program.  Your department head, in turn, will coordinate with Dianna Carrizales-Engelmann of our office. Dianna has been coordinating CHC teaching assignments across the college with academic department heads and CHC Associate Dean Daphne Gallagher.

Regards,

Randy

The Robert D. Clark Honors College (CHC) invites proposals from University of Oregon career and tenure-related faculty to teach courses in 2022-23. The review of applications will begin on December 13, 2021, but will accept applications until the CHC has concluded the appointment process for 2022-23.
The Clark Honors College provides opportunities for faculty across the curriculum to teach innovative, engaging small-format (maximum 19) seminars on topics of their own choosing. In the context of the CHC learning community, faculty can translate their research to the classroom, bring an interdisciplinary perspective to their fields, or experiment with a new pedagogical approach that might inform and enhance their teaching in their home unit.
Our liberal arts core education curriculum emphasizes critical thinking and analysis, engaged discussion, and written and oral communication skills. It incorporates 200-level and 400-level disciplinary courses alongside interdisciplinary first-year seminars and 300-level research courses. Attention to issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion--in course design and/or content-is a priority. For more information about the CHC curriculum please see the CHC Teaching site on the community.uoregon.edu<https://community.uoregon.edu/> platform (if you do not have access, please complete this form<https://oregon.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_50TaWT1XtRrdEBo> and you will be added).
Please direct questions about teaching in the CHC to Associate Dean for Undergraduate Studies, Daphne Gallagher (daphne at uoregon.edu<mailto:daphne at uoregon.edu>).
Application Instructions and Submission Materials
Applicants should plan on teaching the proposed course themselves, and must hold a terminal degree in their field of study prior to the start of the 2022-23 academic year. All proposals will undergo a competitive review process by the CHC Curriculum Committee. The committee will consider the following criteria:.

  *   The applicant's track-record of successful and innovative teaching and/or innovative pedagogical practices
  *   The course's contributions to equity and inclusion, either through course content or inclusive pedagogical approach
  *   The disciplinary grounding and interdisciplinary approaches utilized in the course and its contributions to the balance of the CHC curriculum
  *   The incorporation of active learning strategies that take advantage of the opportunities presented by a small class format
  *   The commitment to developing students' written and oral communication and critical reading and thinking skills
Please be aware that preference will be given to TTF applicants.
Course proposals must be submitted via the Clark Honors College Affiliated Faculty Course Proposal online form.<https://forms.uoregon.edu/forms/list/Clark%20Honors%20College> Along with the application, please upload the following documents as a single combined PDF file:

  *   Academic CV

     *   Option A: If a version of the course has previously been taught either in the CHC or a different context, please attach the full syllabus, note the preferred/possible course level(s), and include a brief statement on how the course might be adapted to the CHC context.
     *   Option B: If you are proposing a new class, please write a brief 1-2 page proposal that includes the following information:
