Title:

Lecturer, Environmental Analysis

Job Description: Visiting Lecturer in GIS

The Environmental Analysis Program is seeking a one-course lecturer to teach a Geographical Information Systems (GIS) course for the 2025 spring semester. The course, EA101, JustGIS! uses a critical geography lens to analyze how GIS might be used to promote social justice outcomes in policy. This introductory course will teach students how to use ESRI ArcGIS mapping software to create and analyze digital maps to highlight disparities that are often hidden.

EA101 uses a critical geography theory to evaluate the processes of map making, as a dialectic that can encourage discourse into the complexities of spatially explicit physical, cultural, and political processes that may improve or worsen environmental outcomes. Pomona’s Environmental Analysis (EA) Program is one of the most highly ranked programs among liberal arts colleges. In collaboration with the other Claremont Colleges, the EA Program provides opportunities for students to study environmental issues from a range of disciplinary perspectives such as economics, sustainability planning and design, environmental biology, and geology and the critical zone.

Students in the major have a wide range of interests and appreciate faculty who can move between disciplines with some facility.
