About The Position
School for International Training (SIT) seeks a Visiting Faculty member to join an interdisciplinary team of faculty and country coordinators leading IHP's Cities in the 21st Century: People, Planning and Politics program in Fall 2025. Each semester term enrolls approximately 20-32 students from leading U.S. colleges and universities to engage in interdisciplinary urban studies in comparative and global perspectives across urban locations in four different continents. Visiting Faculty travel with students to each location for the full duration of the semester. Please note that the following itinerary reflects past semesters and tentative future semesters, but itineraries are contingent on conditions in each country and program needs: Fall 2025 (late August to mid-December): New York City (USA), Argentina, Spain, and South Africa. Cities in the 21st Century is a comparative study abroad program that examines questions of social justice in different urban contexts across four different countries. It is an interdisciplinary semester which draws on urban political economy, anthropology, sociology, politics, development studies, and planning. Its mission is to provide undergraduate students from leading U.S. colleges and universities with an intensive experiential learning-based exposure to the challenges of urbanization in different parts of the world. Students learn how to 'read the city' through formal courses led by traveling faculty, as well as through homestays with local families; guest lectures by in-country academics, local politicians and policy makers; site visits and meetings with NGOs, neighborhood organizations and community activists.
