Job Summary

Situated on the unceded, traditional and ancestral xwməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish), and səl̓ilw̓ətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) territories in Vancouver, Canada, Emily Carr University is a worldrenowned learning and research community dedicated to the education of artists and designers.
The Critical and Cultural Studies Area spans courses in: art, design, and media histories and theories; critical humanities; literature; sciences; social sciences; and expansive writing practices from Foundation to Graduate Studies. Our community of scholars and researchers are committed to antiracist, inclusive and innovative pedagogies; ecological literacies; and decolonial praxes and Indigenous epistemologies. By emphasizing the affinities between Critical and Cultural Studies and studiobased pedagogies and practicebased learning, we encourage our students to recognize the contexts of past, current, and future creative practices and embrace the ethos of an art, media, and design university.
Prioritizing reading, writing, and discussion as primary learning activities, Critical and Cultural Studies curricula provide art, media, and design students with the tools to engage the social, cultural, and political implications of cultural production. The key vocabulary, discourses, and academic skills—including both independent and collaborative thinking and research—gained and honed through Critical and Cultural Studies courses equip our students with a critical edge in their creative endeavours at Emily Carr University and beyond.
The Critical and Cultural Studies Area is embedded in the Faculty of Culture and Community, which provides the academic core and firstyear program for all undergraduate degrees at Emily Carr University. The faculty also offers a unique and academically oriented BFA in Critical and Cultural Practices, which enhances interdisciplinary artistic practices with a firm grounding in history, theory, and criticism. The minor in Social Practice and Community Engagement combines community partnerships and projectbased learning to model, perform, and enact new and more relational ways to live in the world together.
