The University of Oregon in Eugene and Portland, Oregon invites applications for Visiting Faculty Fellowships in Design for Spatial Justice at the rank of assistant, associate, or full professor or professor of practice in the areas of architecture, landscape architecture, and interior architecture in the School of Architecture & Environment in the College of Design. The School of Architecture & Environment will award up to three faculty fellowships in design/research informed teaching for durations of one to two years, Each fellow will be expected to teach two courses per quarter (six courses per year) and contribute to scholarship, service, and public programming.
The School of Architecture & Environment at the University of Oregon acknowledges that professional schools of design and design pedagogy in North America have historically disproportionately excluded cultural perspectives outside of European and colonial traditions. The School of Architecture & Environment seeks to participate in remedying these exclusions by recruiting visiting faculty who will use teaching to expand their understanding of environmental, social, and spatial justice in design, who will engage communities within and outside of the institution in their research and teaching, and whose scholarship is enriched by their lived experience.
We particularly encourage applications from candidates who are interested in teaching on questions in spatial justice at the intersections of gender, race, ethnicity, indigenousness, sexuality, and economic inequality and who are interested in teaching innovation design/research methods with a focus on architectural design studio. Studio methods might include but are not limited to traditional modes of scholarship, design, design research and creative practice; emerging technologies, design media, and fabrication; design and design/build; and community engagement, social practice, or critical spatial practice. Depending on interest and curricular need, design studios, subject area courses, and seminar courses could be in one or more of in any of the following areas: interior environments, accessibility, media, design processes, architectural technology, cultural heritage, and heritage conservation, inclusive urbanism, biocultural restoration, traditional ecological knowledge, feminist spatial practice, design computation, integrated design, ecological justice, climate change resilience, habitats/housing, human-centered design, urbanism and/or land use, and materials and methods.
To build our shared capacity to take intellectual risks and to advance knowledge, we are dedicated to building a community that fully includes students, designers, and scholars whose excellence depends on the breadth of their experiences and perspectives and who are committed to working in a multicultural environment. We encourage applications from historically marginalized and currently underrepresented communities including but not limited to women, ethnic and racial minorities, LGBTQIA+, veterans, and people with disabilities.
