Teaching Opportunity at Wesleyan for Spring, 2024
During the Spring, 2024 semester, the Wesleyan University Philosophy Department and College of East Asian Studies would jointly like to fill two single-course, in-person teaching slots in Asian philosophy. We hope to offer “Classical Chinese philosophy” and one other course. I will be teaching “Modern Chinese Philosophy” that semester so ideally the second course will be different from either of the two other courses. Creative ideas welcome!
Anyone who is interested should send me a cover letter describing what you would like to teach and something about your teaching experience, as well as a CV. If you have any questions or would like to run a potential course by me, please also write to me.
There is no hard deadline, but anyone who contacts me by July 28, 2023 is assured full consideration.

The fully-funded fellowship is open to scholars who have either completed their PhD anytime after 2012 or will complete their PhD by Spring 2022 Semester, with their research specifically focussed on China (utilizing Chinese language sources) across various disciplines of humanities and social science. These include, but are not limited to, anthropology, archaeology, cultural studies, economics, geography, history, international relations, language and literature, legal history, philosophy, political science, religion and sociology. The fellowship is also open to scholars of China Studies who are teaching at Indian universities and wish to pursue novel research on China while continuing their teaching engagement at their current university. Applicants should have a working knowledge of Mandarin, sufficient for academic research.
