In occupational therapy we understand 鈥榦ccupation鈥� as those things people do to occupy their time, attention, and energy. Occupations are meaningful activities. Occupational therapists work with people whose engagement in occupations has somehow been curtailed, often by disability, injury or illness.
This course explores the ways occupational meaning, engagement and performance are shaped by 'social location' 鈥� race, class, gender, sexual orientation, culture, age, ability/disability 鈥� and the experiences, values, assumptions, expectations that connect to social location. We explore social influences on occupation for both clients and health professionals, as well as the impact on provider-client encounters.
Requirements of position: PhD or Masters degree. Previous teaching experience (especially with graduate students) preferred.
If you are interested in the above position, please apply in writing by the application deadline to:
