Faculty Opportunities in Comedic Arts at Emerson College

Emerson College is seeking part-time faculty to teach courses in the theory and history of comedy. The successful candidates will have a firm grasp of the vocabulary, structures, and tropes associated with comedy and be able to contextualize and analyze the form as it relates to issues of race, gender, class, disability, and other networks of power.

Courses
  • Evolution of Comedy II (CA103)
    • This course surveys the evolution of comedy from 1895 to the present day, primarily in North America. Throughout this semester, we will explore the industrial, historical, creative, and social infrastructures that gave rise to comedy in film, television, and a host of media formats.
    • As we study these forms, we will repeatedly examine how the development of comic forms, styles, and genres correspond to changes in social understandings of gender, race, sexuality, class, and national identity.
  • Playing with Theory (CA200)
    • This course introduces students to comedy theory in order to hone their craft, get a laugh, and express a point of view in their work. The material in the course explores the structural, political, and ethical dimensions of laughter, which will enable students to identify and play with comic frames in their own performance, writing, and studies of comedy.
    • Students will exercise these theories by analyzing various comedic works, writing research papers, and developing their own creative pieces that put the theory into practice.
  • Seminar in Comedic Studies (VM403)
    • Special seminar offerings in the area of comedic studies. Topics rotate and have included Global Chaplin, Queer TV Comedy, Norman Lear, Border-Crossing & Comedy, and Screwball & Romantic Comedy.
Requirements
  • A PhD or advanced degrees in a related field is preferred.
  • Complete applications that include a cover letter, CV, and evidence of teaching effectiveness will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
  • Please indicate in your cover letter which course(s) you wish to be considered for.
