CDS Continuing Studies Faculty

The Center for Documentary Studies (CDS) at Duke is seeking qualified teachers of short courses to be offered in partial fulfillment of our Certificate in Documentary Studies. This certificate is offered collaboratively through CDS and Duke Continuing Studies. These courses are focused explorations on aspects of the theory and practice of documentary work using one or more of the following: ethnography, photography, oral history, video, and writing. Students for these courses may run the gamut from experienced artists to community members engaging in documentary fieldwork for the first time. Practitioners are encouraged to apply. Teachers are paid by student fees and according to enrollment in their courses.

Interested applicants should submit a description of the proposed course(s), including all the significant areas to be covered; a resume or Curriculum Vitae; the number of classroom hours projected for the course (we average sixteen hours, though this may vary); a list of possible handouts or readings; and work samples.

Please send hard copies of the above items to April Walton, Learning Outreach Director, Center for Documentary Studies, 1317 W. Pettigrew Street, Durham, NC 27705. If you have questions, E-mail or call April Walton at awalton@duke.edu or 919-660-3670. No E-mail submissions of course proposals will be accepted.
