Through scholarship, teaching, institution, and community, our Department of Education prepares tomorrow’s leaders to fearlessly pursue the incredible potential of an educational system that embraces and adapts to difference.

SUMMARY OF POSITION
The Department of Education at UCLA seeks applications for a part-time lecturer to teach within the Department of Education’s undergraduate program. Course(s) may include the following, and the lecturer may also be assigned additional courses according to the instructional needs in the department and in conformity with departmental lecturer workload policies:

EDUC 160: “Transformative Research in Community-Based Settings” Seminar, four hours. This course provides an introduction to the broad tradition of transformative research in education – public scholarship that aims to disrupt long-standing educational inequities in partnership with local communities. This tradition includes youth participatory action research (YPAR), community-based participatory research (CBPR), and other collaborative approaches that value diverse forms of expertise and knowledge. A key aspect of this work is to think carefully about history and power dynamics across stakeholders and develop ethics and practices to attend to them in thoughtful and intentional ways. While there is no required fieldwork as part of this class, students will have opportunities to develop the ability to analyze education in social and political context, develop skills for effecting change, and demonstrate understanding of multiple perspectives, diversity, pluralism, and social justice.
