The finalists in the Assistant Professor of Illustration search at Parsons are George Boorujy, Joel Gill and Catrin Morgan. They will be giving job talks this Friday and next week Tuesday & Friday. Students are highly encouraged to attend these sessions and ask questions after the talks.
Job talks allow candidates to present themselves in the context of their research, scholarship, or creative practice and to discuss their pedagogical philosophy. Each candidate will speak for about 30 minutes, followed by a 15-minute Q&A.
We will also attempt to collect written feedback from Illustration students after the talks — show up and make your voice heard in our search process!
