Sessional Instructional Assistant - LAN3051HF - Landscape Architecture Research Methods

$55.25 per hour

University of Toronto

Description:

Course Description: The purpose of the course is to study a site through its stakeholders' (or actors) eyes and define their needs, following a two-step process: exploring how notions of nature, environment, and landscape (NEL) are understood, represented, and shaped by stakeholders at the thesis site. These notions form part of a worldview, that is, the lens through which the site will be approached. Secondly, exploration of the site will allow one to pinpoint and define, by the end of the term, the focus, i.e., the research/design questions, to which a design solution will be applied.

Dates of Appointments: September 1, 2026 - December 31, 2026

Estimated Course Enrollment: 35 students

Class Schedule: TH 12:00-15:00

Hours of work: 100

Salary: $55.25/hour (plus vacation pay)
*Please note that rates stipulated in the collective agreement vary from rates stated in this posting, the rates stated in the collective agreement will prevail.

Minimum Qualifications: PhD candidate in the Humanities or Social Science Fields.

Preferred Qualifications:  Must have received a minimum grade of A in course.

Duties: In this course, SIA will assist instructor in guiding students through their selection of disciplinary frameworks, audio/visual material, and scholarly references in order to properly document and address a site condition. SIA will annotate and grade a series of assignments that aim at processing the documentation and culminate in a research report. In the latter, SIA will assess how students articulate together literature review, audio/visual documentation, methodology, and related design program/research questions in response to site-specific worldviews.
