The School of Arts and Humanities at St. Catherine University invites applications for Adjunct Lecturer positions in Philosophy and Theology for the 2022-2023 academic year, beginning February 2023.
The School of Arts and Humanities at St. Catherine University is a community of disciplines including Art and Art History; History and International Studies; Literature, Language, and Writing; Philosophy; and Theology. Together through our interdisciplinary cohort we guide students in their pursuit of making and living a meaningful life. Through our programs, students wield the exploratory, analytic, creative, and expressive power of the Arts and Humanities. Our mission is to educate women, LGBT+, and non-binary people to lead and influence, equipped with the unique contributions of humanistic study. This entails training in our disciplines and cross-disciplinary methods, developing civic engagement, and exercising skills needed to be successful in careers that demand critical and creative thinking. Committing to the work of social justice, as lived by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, we engage in the persistent endeavor to learn about and dismantle the ways in which racism, colorism, ableism, sexism, gender violence, classism, colonialism, environmental degradation, and other forms of oppression have conditioned the world as well as our areas of practice, research, and pedagogy. Hovering at the intersection of theory and praxis, we consider knowledge as meaning-making, as an act rather than merely a representation. Our work is about crafting relevant curricula that reflects and values our students' whole selves—demographic, academic, vocational, physical and spiritual. The Arts and Humanities Division at St. Kate's boldly imagines—and works to produce—a more just, democratic and sustainable future!
Responsibilities:
Teach one or two classes on a semester basis in traditional or online environments.
Educate and support students in their classroom.
Communicate respectfully and build relationships of trust with people of all cultures and abilities.
Foster a culture of inclusive excellence through authentic relationships with students as an educator, and a mentor.
Monitor and assess student-learning outcomes and provide timely and frequent feedback to students on academic performance.
Monitor curriculum content and make recommendations as appropriate to maintain relevance.
Consistent with the university's Catholic identity, its commitment to women, diversity, inclusion, social justice, and dedication to a liberal arts-based curriculum, faculty are expected to manifest these themes in their teaching and practice experiences.
St. Catherine University in St. Paul/Minneapolis, Minnesota, is a comprehensive Catholic university and home to one of the nation's largest colleges for women, with associate and graduate programs for all genders.

Given the way campus life inherently puts people in close proximity to each other, including residence and dining halls, classrooms, and gatherings, the University has determined that a vaccination requirement is the best way to keep our community safe and prevent potential outbreaks as we return to more regular, in-person operations. St. Catherine University is requiring all students, faculty (including adjuncts contracted for the fall semester and beyond), staff, and residents age 12 and older to complete their COVID -19 vaccination series, including a booster, unless the University approves a medical or religious accommodation or other accommodation/exemption as required by applicable law.

ST. CATHERINE UNIVERSITY
Formerly the College of St. Catherine, St. Kate’s was founded in St. Paul in 1905 by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, whose social justice mission of loving God and neighbor without distinction anchors our commitment to respond to the needs of the time. The University is named for St. Catherine of Alexandria, the 4th-century Egyptian philosopher, who suffered martyrdom for her faith.
St. Kate’s is a nationally recognized university with the College for Women at its core which is one of the largest Catholic colleges for women in the nation. It is one of the most comprehensive Catholic universities in the United States, offering access to an education in over 80 academic programs ranging from professional certificates to post-graduate degrees in the liberal arts and professional programs. In 2009, St. Kate’s moved from college to university status, retaining its tradition of academic excellence while expanding its structure to three colleges and three schools. The three schools are the School of Humanities, Arts and Sciences (SHAS), School of Business, and the Henrietta Schmoll School of Health (HSSH), each of which serves students in the College for Women, the Graduate College, and the College for Adults.
The University’s commitment to Inclusive Excellence encourages students across schools and colleges to incorporate global learning and experiences into their education. St. Kate’s is committed to making Inclusive Excellence a reality and has identified “Drive a Culture of Inclusive Excellence” as one of its six strategic priorities. Initiatives include the expansion of equity and inclusion-centered curricular content in specific courses and in each program of study, new recruitment strategies and training around elimination of bias, and retention efforts targeted for faculty and staff of color using professional development opportunities and resources. Finally, the plan has an explicit focus on the articulation and development of the essential skills students must possess to succeed in diverse and inclusive workplaces and communities and defining how the educational program and co-curricular student experience will foster these outcomes.
