The Opportunity

The Department of Arts and Cultural Management (AACM) in the Faculty of Fine Arts and Communications, in partnership with kihêw waciston Indigenous Centre, invites applications for a one-year term faculty appointment, commencing July 1, 2021, subject to final budgetary approval.

MacEwan is seeking a candidate with lived Indigenous experiences and grounded in Indigenous ways of knowing, being, and doing. In addition to teaching courses in arts and cultural management, the successful candidate will provide consultation and participate in the development of Indigenous-focused curriculum to align with institutional priorities and foster community engagement. The successful candidate will work closely with kihêw waciston Indigenous Centre and have good relationships with Indigenous communities. The position involves collaborating with the Director, Indigenous Initiatives, and kihêw waciston to plan and organize faculty educational opportunities and develop culturally sensitive programming, evaluations, and events.

As MacEwan University’s Indigenous Centre, kihêw waciston offers personal, academic, financial and cultural support for students and is open to everyone in the MacEwan community.

Arts and Cultural Management focuses on preparing individuals for careers working with a wide variety of non-profit and for-profit arts and cultural organizations. In addition to their academic studies, students have the opportunity to develop skills through experiential learning, including work-integrated learning placements, projects with organizations in the field, community-engaged learning and international exchanges. One of Canada's first arts management programs, MacEwan's Arts and Cultural Management program attracts students from across the country in both its classroom and online cohorts.

Qualifications

Candidates will hold a minimum of a master's degree in arts management or a related discipline. A combination of education and lived experience may be considered. Demonstrated knowledge of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities, including their diverse backgrounds and culture, socio-economic issues, and educational needs, is strongly preferred. All applicants will demonstrate ethical engagement and collaboration with Indigenous communities.

Applicants should submit a cover letter and a curriculum vitae, clearly showing a highly developed knowledge and understanding of Indigenous cultures and contemporary issues, with a proven ability to engage with Indigenous communities; a teaching dossier (including recent teaching evaluations); a statement of research interests; samples of scholarly or creative work; along with the names and contact information of three professional referees.
