Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities/Department of English

Lakehead University, Thunder Bay or Orillia Campus, online, invites applications for Contract Lecturers in the Department of English.  Applications are requested to teach:
 
1)    ENGL 1115 SDE: Foundations of Literary Study (Web)
An introduction to literary study, focusing on texts from the major genres (drama, poetry, prose) within their historical and cultural contexts. Emphasis will be given to the development of skills in critical analysis, research, writing, and documentation.
2)  ENGL 2917 ADE: Children’s Literature (Web)
Children’s literature includes some of the most beloved and influential texts written in English. Focusing on genres such as fairy tales, poetry, picture books, and novels, a variety of topics will be covered, such as constructions of childhood and child development, literature’s role in the cultivation of the imagination, the relationship between image and text, the conflict between didacticism and pleasure, and the nature of innocence and experience.
 
3) ENGL 3911 SDE: Special Topics: Pandemics, Plagues, and Poxes: Pandemics in the Literary World (Web)
For many living in Canada, the COVID-19 pandemic was one of the most impactful events of the 21st century. It changed, for a time, the way we work, attend school, interact, and shop, and its impacts are still being felt today. At the time, the pandemic felt unprecedented. As this course will show, however, pandemics are a fixture of human history and literature. This course will take students through literary accounts of some of history’s most deadly pandemics. Our texts will range from Boccaccio’s devastating record of the Black Death in medieval Italy, to Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s Love in the Time of Cholera, to Katherine Anne Porter’s account of the Spanish Flu in Pale Horse, Pale Rider. We will then move forward to look at a few speculative pandemic narratives including Emily St John Mandel’s Station Eleven and Ling Ma’s speculative, satirical pandemic, Severance. We will finish with a few modern Zombie narratives, almost all of which begin with a pandemic, and a few narrative accounts of the Covid-19 pandemic. Throughout the course, students will examine how writers across history have accounted for disease and pandemic within their individual social contexts and consider how issues of culture, identity, and humanity are bound up in narratives of disease and death. Assignments will also allow students to connect their own experiences with the Covid-19 pandemic to the tradition of pandemic writing, in hopes that they will gain a better understanding of the legacy of that impactful event.
Qualifications Preferred: Ph. D. and experience teaching literature at the university level. Candidates lacking the specific degree qualification, but who possess an appropriate combination of experience and other academic qualifications are also encouraged to apply. Experience with experiential learning and online or alternative modes of delivery is highly desired.

Lakehead University, Thunder Bay or Orillia Campus, online, invites applications for a Contract Lecturer in the Department of English.  Applications are requested to teach:
 
ENGL/WOME 3053 ADE: Special Topics in Gender and Sexuality:  Medieval Masculinities (Web)
In this class we will look at medieval masculinities. This means looking at masculinity in different religious traditions, including cloisters, or church hierarchies, looking at texts like saints’ lives and monastic rules. It also means looking at masculinity as represented in martial cultures, including knights or Vikings or soldiers, particularly in romances or sagas. But it also means looking at the way that medieval is coded masculine in modern texts or societies.

Qualifications Preferred:  Ph. D. (English or Gender and Women’s studies) and experience teaching Indigenous literature at the university level. Candidates lacking the specific degree qualification, but who possess an appropriate combination of experience and other academic qualifications are also encouraged to apply. Experience with experiential learning and online or alternative modes of delivery is highly desired.

Start Date/Duration:   Summer Term (ADE):  July 2 to August 13, 2024
