Sessional Lecturer, Winter Term 2026 – Museums and Indigenous Communities

The Faculty of Information at the University of Toronto is seeking a sessional lecturer for the course, Museums and Indigenous Communities: Changing Relations, Changing Practice (MSL2360H).

This course explores the changing relationships between aboriginal source communities and museums holding their material heritage. We begin with a historical overview of collecting practices, the role of indigenous material culture in the development of museums, and the relationship between museums and colonialism. Contemporary case studies primarily drawn from post-colonial and settler contexts during the last three decades are investigated as a response to earlier practices.

Sessional dates of appointment: January 1, 2026 - April 30, 2026
Application Deadline: June 3, 2025
