The Neponset faculty will be working scholars and practitioners who teach because they want to — without rank politics, and without confusing their expertise with their authority. They receive a modest per-course stipend. Full faculty appointments will be reviewed by a faculty senate, once one is formed.
Faculty will be appointed following an open application, peer review of teaching materials, and a conversation about the seminar each candidate proposes to lead.
Appointments are by term, not by tenure. Instructors receive a per-course stipend, not a salary, and there is no quid pro quo of any kind. We do reimburse documented expenses where reasonable.
If you are a working scholar, retired professor, or experienced practitioner who would like to teach a seminar, we invite you to write to us.
No instructors have been appointed yet. Until then, the academics page describes the seminars we plan to offer.
We are always looking for scholars and practitioners who would like to lead a seminar. Write to us with the seminar you have in mind, the texts you would assign, and a short note on what you would bring to the room.
