Part-Time Faculty: Sociology Of Sport

The Department of Social Science and Cultural Studies at Pratt Institute is calling for applicants towards the Fall 2024 semester to join our part-time faculty community. The Social Science and Cultural Studies program is home to an interdisciplinary major and several minors, and serves the Institute by providing courses towards Pratt's General Education core and post-core curriculum.

The SSCS department is looking for instructors to teach one section of Sociology of Sport on Pratt's Brooklyn campus in Fall 2024. Pratt's Sociology of Sport course meets once per week for three hours. The section's scheduling is TBA.

Sociology of Sport:

This course will introduce students to the critical examination of sport in society. Sport is both a product of the society in which it takes place, and a reflection of social change, differences, conflicts, and politics.

This course uses sport to introduce students to the uses of sociological theories and methods in the analysis of contemporary sports at the intersections of gender, race, class, nationalism, and disability. Attention will be given to how the critical analysis of sport helps us understand global and local networks of media, finance, aesthetics, embodiment, group identity and self expression.

• Masters degree in Sociology (ABD or PhD preferred).

• Previous experience teaching is preferred but not required.

Salary is competitive and commensurate with experience and qualifications. Salary range is $2100-2500 per contact hour.
