  • Advanced artistic techniques in specialized performance, studio, or compositional practice — demonstrate and teach autonomously to graduate-level students in a research-intensive postsecondary environment.

  • Graduate seminars and upper-division lectures on topics spanning art history, philosophy of aesthetics, and communications theory — design and deliver with scholarly depth and pedagogical rigor.
  • Comprehensive assessment of student theses, capstone performances, and professional portfolios — evaluate using self-constructed, discipline-specific criteria that reflect current field standards.
  • Sustained Socratic and discipline-specific discourse — initiate and moderate in graduate seminars, pushing students toward original critical and creative thinking across full course sequences.
  • Multisemester curriculum sequences and program-level learning outcomes — design and refine independently, integrating fine arts knowledge with cross-disciplinary perspectives in psychology, sociology, and media.
  • Peer-reviewed publications, conference presentations, and active professional networks — engage with regularly to sustain scholarly currency and incorporate evolving artistic practices into teaching.
  • Web platform, CAD, computer-based training, and multimedia production tools — deploy strategically to create immersive, technology-enhanced learning environments for arts students.
  • Inductive and deductive reasoning in artistic problem-solving — model explicitly for students navigating ambiguous creative or interpretive challenges in studio and performance contexts.
  • Judgment and decision-making in complex student evaluation scenarios — exercise with full autonomy, balancing artistic standards, equity considerations, and institutional accountability requirements.
