Summer 2019 Course Proposals Now Open!
We are now accepting proposals for New Media courses that can be taught in the summer session of 2019! Please remember that summer session courses must be self-sufficient, so the enrollment must be high enough to make the course viable. For this reason, we are especially interested in courses with broad appeal that are capable of filling breadth requirements. Check out the great courses our students had on offer this year for ideas!
Not only does summer teaching provide a valuable funding opportunity, it's also a rewarding and fun learning experience!
From Nicholaus Gutierrez: "Teaching a Summer breadth course on a new media topic is a unique pedagogical and intellectual challenge, and as a center whose focus is technology and digital media, BCNM provided an ideal environment for multi-disciplinary approaches to my course topic."
From Kyle Booten: "BCNM is about crossing disciplinary boundaries, and designing a digital poetry class for Summer Sessions has provided me a opportunity to combine technology and the arts in ways that have pushed forward my own thinking."
If you are interested in teaching a NWMEDIA course, please send Lara Wolfe a class description by August 21, 2018 at lara [at] berkeley.edu. If selected, you will be employed as a GSI for a special topics course, and will work in conjunction with the Director of BCNM to tailor your section's syllabus appropriately.
Thank you, and we look forward to hearing your proposals!
