Becoming a Faculty Affiliate
Guidelines
Women's & Gender Studies Faculty Affiliates include faculty under contract with Northern Kentucky University:
- Who have full-time appointments in departments other than WGS.
- Who have taught at least one course listed as a WGS course over the past four years
- Whose teaching, research, and/or service is substantially and appropriately connected to Women's & Gender Studies, as determined by the Women's & Gender Studies Curriculum and Steering Committees.
For every WGS-designate course they teach, Women's & Gender Studies faculty will ensure that the course syllabus for the relevant semester is on file in the Women's & Gender Studies office. Syllabi must be sent in by the end of the second week of classes each semester.
Every other year (even years), all Women's & Gender Studies faculty will see that a copy of their current curriculum vitae is on file in the program office.
Requesting Faculty Affiliate Status
To become a member of the Women's & Gender Studies faculty, faculty with full-time appointments in departments other than WGS should send the following materials by email to the Curriculum Advisory Committee, care of the program:
- A brief statement of how your teaching, research, and/or service is substantially and appropriately connected to Women's & Gender Studies.
- A syllabus for the course you would like the committee to consider as an approved elective or cross-listed course, or a sample syllabus or detailed outline for a course you wish to teach in the future, including texts and assignments.
- A current curriculum vitae (as a file attachment formatted as .pdf or .doc).
- A separate email message or letter from your department chair supporting your application for faculty affiliate status and acknowledging a willingness to cross-list some of your courses with a WGS course with at least 5 seats.
These materials may be sent by campus mail to FH 328 or as email attachments to Nancy Hancock.
