Salem State University is seeking adjunct professors with interest and experience teaching POL 101: Introduction to Civic Enagement. The initial course in our Civic Engagement minor, this class introduces students to the history, key concepts and frameworks of civic engagement in a democracy. The course also invites students to explore university-community relationships and power structures and how individuals and groups create and sustain social change.  Instructors are invited to use both traditional and community engaged scholarship to enable students to critically examine a variety of social justice issues and the role of multiple stakeholders and research in addressing these problems. 

CIV 101 runs on Mondays from 9:00-11:00 AM.  If desired, the instructor may utilize previous CIV 101 syllabi and canvas courses.
