The Department of Theatre and Dance at California State University, Sacramento, commits to call out systemic racism and to actively promote a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment onstage, in rehearsals, in classrooms, and among each other. The commitment is rooted in providing a foundation of the history, theory, literature, performance, design/technical, and management practices of theatre and dance. Our curriculum, supported by studio work and productions, challenges and nurtures students to be interdependent, inclusive leaders who embody diverse practices in theater and dance.

Duties of a part-time lecturer include instruction, class preparation, grading, and office hours. Other duties may be assigned based on departmental needs. Course assignments, including dates, time, and modality, are made by the Department Chair under the direction of the College Dean. Part-time lecturers are instructional faculty with conditional appointments based on enrollment and budget. Hires from the pool of applicants are made when there are instructional needs to fill coursework offered by an academic department based on enrollment patterns, changes to tenure-track faculty assignments, and other factors. Initial appointments are typically for one semester, but occasionally academic year initial appointments are made. Appointments may be renewed based on department needs, funding, and performance. Often appointments are made just prior to the start of the semester. Rank and Salary
