The selected candidate will collaborate with faculty and staff in the Arts Division to develop research-driven curricula for both programs, and will guide student work in both majors. Creative Technologies is an interdisciplinary online UCSC Arts Division program offering a justice-focused digital arts and design curriculum, dedicated to advanced, innovative pedagogy, and the cultivation of web-based and hybrid learning communities. Its course of study emphasizes collaborative creative practices, and digital media as a cultural nexus at which creative workers can nurture equity, power, representation, and imagination. Drawing its faculty from multiple departments within the Arts Division, the online program allows UCSC Arts students to transcend genres and the physical space of its campus, bridging geographically and economically remote communities. The first cohort of Creative Technologies students begins its studies in the Fall of 2024. Performance, Play, and Design is a distinctive interdisciplinary department that blends faculty in theater, performance studies, dance, game design, digital art, music, and interactive media to create a shared environment for creative research at the forefront of performance, play, and design in the fields of games, art, performance and interactive media in the digital and analog realms, with a focus on social justice, impact, and equity. Within this context, faculty continue to grow the Art & Design: Games and Playable Media Program to develop innovative approaches to game design and game creation, to encourage artistic and experimental approaches to play, and to engage with contemporary issues of justice and critical approaches to play and interactivity in order to push the bounds of interactive media.
