Join us for the Last Scontras Center Faculty Finalist Teaching Demo

A search committee has selected four finalists for a faculty position at the Charles A. Scontras Center for Labor and Community Education at the University of Southern Maine. The final candidate is Eleni Schirmer, who will give a presentation on Wednesday, February 11th from 5:30-6:30pm at Payson Smith Hall Room 301A at the University of Southern Maine, 96 Falmouth Street, Portland, ME.

The Lecturer in Sociology and Labor Educator will design labor education workshops, courses, certificate programs, trainings, symposia, and conferences that strengthen worker power and facilitate workplace democracy. The center will serve both existing members and leaders of unions and labor organizations and the broader Maine working class, including low-income workers and Maine’s immigrant communities.

Each candidate has been asked to give a teaching session that will be open to the public and accessible either in person or on Zoom. All in-person locations are on the USM Portland campus. All candidates were asked to prepare their presentations using various prompts.
